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).

    So far, I am in love with this phone. I had the S6 edge prior to this and it was just getting slow. This phone is fast, the battery lasts forever (the longest I've gone without a single charge has been 37 hours). And I love that they brought back some card support!!

    I recently changed to a Samsung phone and so glad I did. Got the Samsung 8s, was debating between this and the plus. This is much easier to hold I find the plus too big. The camera is great, crystal clear photos. Very easy to manage. Love that is water resistant.

    My phone died suddenly and I needed to get a new one that day. I checked Best Buy's website and they had the phone. Once I was in store I found out that they had an open box phone - less $$$, even better! In and out of the store in 10 minutes.

    The galaxy s8 really has exceeded my expectations. I really has no flaws except for a weird fingerprint sensor placement(next to the camera). Also bixby is useless but other than the the phone run very good. I've had no crashes and no lag so far.

    Good size phone. Not to big as pablets are. Ease of delivery was nice. Phone is easy to use. And the camera is fantastic. I like the different options for lock screen. And the edge screens are a plus too. I would recommend buying online from best buy to a friend

    I love the galaxy s8. It feels perfect in my hand. It is light weight, thin, and narrow enough to hold in one hand and reach the screen with my thumb.

    At first I really did not want a newer phone, but after looking into it I decided to purchase the phone. I'm glad I did. I have more internal memory space (always maxed out my other phone), I love the camera, I also enjoy discovering other features on the phone.

    This is a great phone in which I replace the S7 with. It has a easy learning curve. The on screen home button and back button is easy to use. The sound is very clear and the new additional of Bixby is great addition although it also compliments Google searches.

    I read the reviews from different websites before I did the purchase. To be fair, I think the one I bought from Best Buy fits our goal better than the ones offer by Amazon. This one is truly factory unlocked while the one from Amazon is just international version. (Don't misunderstand me, I am an Amazon prime member. I shop a lot there.) They may not be much difference but having the options to use the phone in different regions and different carriers is a plus. The overall design and function of the phone is excellent. It is a gift to my husband. He didn't want to spend the money but I bought it for him because his Samsung S5 is just too old and getting too slow. He really likes it and is very happy with it.
