Customers are saying

Customers enjoy the Galaxy S8's camera, long battery life, user-friendly interface, and reasonable price point. They appreciate that the phone is unlocked, allowing them to use it with any carrier. Some users find the phone to be fragile and slippery, and dislike the pre-installed software (bloatware).

    Love my new phone. It's slightly heavier than my previous phone (Samsung Galaxy S5), charging takes a few hours longer than the S5, and sometimes there are sensitivity issues with the screen when the phone is on but the screen has turned off (sometimes it takes multiple touches to get the screen to respond when in this mode). Otherwise I love everything about this phone (great camera, fast processor, etc). Best Buy had the best deal on this phone

    Battery life is great, solid all around. coming from OnePlus and ZTE Axon to the dominant Android phone from Samsung was a great move for me. my only criticism may be wrong, in that I can't tailor the notification sounds to be different for text and other alerts, they are all the same tone.

    Strong in photo, weak in battery

    Using S8 to take a photo is so good. Especially its long screen ratio provides fantastic view compared to 16:9 screen. The color is also more saturated compared with any iphone. Better use s8 to capture the beauty of nature. It's fast and runs smoothly. The only weakness I can find from S8 is the battery life. It cannot last for one whole day without charging. But the functionality is really much more powerful compared with iphone. So it's worth the sacrifice.

    There are so many jokes about an android Camera compared to an iPhone but with this invention the joke is over. Regardless what any specs or friend may suggest the Samsung s8 camera shows way more detail than the iPhone 7 and it has a way better flash. This is coming from an iPhone user just incase anyone was wondering.

    I love this phone. I don't watch videos or download music to it so I don't need a lot of memory. It is super fast though. I like a lot of the new features that are on it that I haven't had time to play with yet. The graphics are fantastic. So far, I haven't found one thing I don't like about the phone.

    The design and hardware of the phone is fabulous and is far beyond iPhone(including the upcoming iPhone8) the only drawbacks come from the Android system, which is behind the iOS by several steps. Samsung did a great job on the design, I am satisfied with the phone overall given the fact that the system performance.

    Beautiful phone. The cameras are great, and the phone runs very smoothly and has quick change processing settings to more accurately adapt to the task at hand. Bixby (the S8's personal assistant) is definitely still a work in progress, but I find it's a serious improvement from Google's assistant. Loving it so far.

    Have been using this phone for more than a year. I love the memory space it provides and then the camera features specially designed to take the shots in the dark mode. I was blown with the video it records for the fire cracker .please try it.
