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).

This is now my 3rd Galaxy S phone and the display and performance is just incredible! Just don't expect ANY Verizon store to help make the switch if you are on a PrePaid plan.

The best phone I've had so far, although my last 4-5 phones have been Samsung.
It has many functions that I still do not discover, the apps run very fast, and Bixby is very helpful.
Personally, I do not like covers, but this S8 is like a soap bar in your hands.
I definitely recommend it.

I had a Samsung j8 for about 2 years and it’s been so slow and sluggish throughout the entire time
Had this for 3 months now and it’s such a giant leap better in quality and still holding on strong
Doesn’t look like it’ll slow down any time soon.

I upgraded from a Samsung Galaxy S5 to the S8, and I couldn't be happier. It does all that I need a phone to do, and more. I would recommend this phone to friends (in fact, I already have!). The camera is wonderful. It is a nice size. And I love the color (Coral Blue).

Powerhouse of energy. I was bumping up from a S5 so this phone is magic. It is only limited by the operator and how much time you want to put into learning all the bells and whistles. Samsung tech support is great too. You won't need tech support but I made an idiot move and did.

I had not purchased a new phone in about 8 years ! I was very uneasy about learning to use a new phone... especially one with so many "bells and whistles" !! There was no reason to be uneasy ! This phone is so easy to use and really jam packed with features !! I love it!!

I have used Samsung phones for years and find them very serviceable and easy to use. This phone was purchased to replace the exact same model, which I dropped in a river in Florida last year. The phone is great.

Chose the 8 over the 9 since the price was less . As a iPhone user I think Samsung starting with the 8 and now 9 is a solid match with iPhone. I had the galaxy s7 a few years ago and the fingerprint was not always responsive . Samsung has figured that issue out starting with the 8

An excellent phone that still holds its own against more modern ones. I bought this for myself and ended up giving it to my son when I upgraded to the NOTE 10+ but honestly I ended up missing the S8 after a few weeks. I never realize how light it was and how perfect the size was for reachability purposes. It also has the front facing IR camera that can be used for face unlock which my NOTE did not have and the under screen fingerprint reader is very spotty at best. An of course there is also the headphone jack that is still present; remember those. I honestly don't know why I switched and even if I had to an S9 would've been the more obvious choice. Head phone jack, IR camera, fast fingerprint reader, AMOLED screen, wireless charging, what more could you want.
