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).

    Screen was defective, it turned green. I returned it and Best Buy replaced it. Easy exchange!

    I had the galaxy s7 which was a good phone as well, I just got the S8 due to it have a corral blue version of the phone but wow! It's an upgrade to an all ready good phone, I notice the speed change in my games from phone to phone it blew me away. Great phone to get plus it's unlocked so it works with nearly if not all phone companies. Buy this phone on sale though so you get good value for the low price

    Up and running quickly since Google knows all and transferred all my apps and contacts for me. Nice screen, really nice camera, good feel, and reasonable battery life so far.

    The rounded edges and construction of this phone give if a sleek and solid feel... So far battery life is average but I spent a lot of time learning the new tricks and tools so the battery was given a tough work out right off the shelf. Response is fast. Not particularly tied to the phone itself...but I found Samsung's "Smart Switch" app to be an excellent tool to switch all of my apps and data from my S5.

    By far the most advanced smartphone available right now. Great UI, Great Camera, No bloated software. Bixby has a lot of potential, but is not quite there yet. Given that it is brand new, with frequent updates rolling in it is sure to be a decent assistant in the long run (Bixby).

    Very happy with this model. Although, I don't care for the Edge Panel so I disabled it. Also, Bixby is not accurate and I find myself accidentally activating it. Battery life decent, has never over heated or become hot. Dropped it in the toilet and it came out with no problems. It even stayed on. For safe measures I did place it in a bag of silica packets for about an hour.

    Love the screen on this phone, and it's nice and thin, not to mention water resistant. Although I'm not a fan of the cost of these devices, it's a great product.

    Buying a cell phone is a huge investment for some these days. The price makes it kind of hard to swallow, but the S8 is by far the most amazing phone I've ever owned. Going from my S4 to this was such a huge difference. The camera on this phone makes it worth every penny!

    This Samsung Galaxy S8 is a very reliable phone. It is an attractive midnight black color. It is the perfect size. The screen is sharp and clear. It is easy to find a great looking phone case to compliment it. Highly recommend.

    Best phone I've ever owned

    Never had a real smart phone. The few phones I could afford to buy over the years were basic, like old flip phones etc. This one is easy to use, more or less, as I keep playing with it I find more I can do. Including use it as a mobile hot spot for my Kindle tablet to access the internet safely when I'm not sure about the free WiFi at my location. Of course it also does everything like a laptop/tablet does just a bit smaller. Is very fast, connects well to cell towers, oh yeah and makes telephone calls. Does it all. Easy to see screen too. Not like my older hand me downs from the kids ...LOL. Now I'm just as cool as my kids, well relatively speaking for an old dude 60+. I'm sure I've only just scratched the surface of what this will do but I'm very happy with the purchase. I got a clear hard shell protective case as well so I can see the nice color I selected for the phone as well. Over all I love this phone!

    The phone is sleek and doesn't feel heavy in hand. It is a bit slippery, need to be careful while holding it. Back attracts fingerprints. The finger print scanner is quick and smooth. The camera is amazing. The phone is very fast as of now. Will provide update after sometime.
