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).

    Nice to have a long-lasting battery again. Wish the charging port was standard like the S7 instead of the new rounded one that requires a different cord than all our other devices. BestBuy converted us over to the new phone with no Verizon activation charge for the new device - big bonus!.

    The Best Phone

    This is the Best Phone! The camera takes excellent pictures. Features and applications are user friendly. Me and my partner both have the same phone, so we had to buy phone covers in different colors so we can distinguish them apart.

    I like the size, and ease of use. The camera is easy to use. I like Bixby. Bixby is a button on the side of the phone that you push to take you into your favoriteGoogle apps.I like the curved screen on the phone. I don’t like the talk to text feature. It does not work as good as my old Samsung Galaxy S5 Active.

    Great phone and awesome for Gear VR

    There are plenty of reviews here and online that speak to the features, battery life, display, etc, so I won't elaborate on those. Suffice it to say, this is an excellent phone all around. I primarily bought it, though, for the Gear VR functionality. For that purpose, the S8 is just plain awesome. I originally bought a S7, which was fine, but tended to overheat in VR. No such problems with the S8 and it doesn't even feel that hot after VR use. In addition, Samsung is beta testing some useful VR apps (like Phonecast) that only work on the S8 for now. Thus, if VR is important to you, I highly recommend the S8. On another note, I also own a Oculus Rift CV1, and having compared the two, I can honestly say that the Gear VR is better for watching movies. The resolution is better and there are much less "god rays" with the Gear VR. Obviously, the Rift is better for gaming, but for watching videos and movies, you'll be pleasantly surprised how good the Gear VR + S8 are. Enjoy!

    The Galaxy S8 has a lots of great features. One features that I like is the Bixby AI. It helps you to search something by just taking a pictures of the object and it will get the detail information for it. The price of the phone is reasonable and I love the phone.

    Awesome phone with beautiful screen. TouchWiz actually isn't bad anymore--i use it as my default launcher. Bixby is kind of lame, but I have a feeling Samsung will eventually allow remapping the button again. The phone is beautiful, but buy a case that makes it easier to hold.

    Bought an unlocked version as it allows me to easily switch between US carriers and International Carriers as I tend to travel internationally quite a bit and switching to local plans is much more easier than being locked in with Verizon, ATT, Sprint or T-Mobile or anyone else.

    Coming from a Galaxy S6, and previously a Nexus 6P and iPhone, I absolutely love this phone. It's fast, powerful, comfortable, and the features are great. The camera is awesome, I use Samsung Pay now all the time, and though the curved screen was weird at first I like it now.

    My father finally upgraded to a real smart phone from an old, not mobile hot spot capable phone, and is very pleased. Easy to use and navigate through the different screens and the speaker quality is also a great feature, he enjoys listening to music.

    When i received this phone i was astonished, the infinity display is gorgeous, almost full ratio screen and the display is very clear. I used to have a galaxy s7 edge so i dont expected much in terms of speed, but goly this phone its fast. Sry for my bad english, hope you understand.

    The camera on the Samsung Galaxy S8 is, once again, one of the best around. There's a small amount of noise, but while very little else has been improved in terms of spec from the Galaxy S7 to the S8, the ability to cope well in low light is better than before.
