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).

    After nearly four years I upgraded my Galaxy 5 to this brand new, fast model. I love it. I gave it 4 stars because at times the charger states that it is "slow charging" and to use the original charger, yet I am using the original. Also, having an issue with my Gmail outgoing messages being queued and not ever being sent out, especially those with photos.

    Great phone and features, battery life is good. Cameras are both so much better than my last phone that I can't objectively rate them. The screen/display is incredibly fragile though and costs more than the price of the phone to replace.

    Phone is great, except audio output is weak. iPhone has much louder audio output in my opinion. That is the only downside to this phone.

    I got this phone for my mother . I upgraded her from her s5 to this s8. I haven't heard any complaints from her . I played with the phone because I am the one that has to set it up for her . This is a nice phone that should still be good for a few more years . I caught it when it was on sale for 499. I think it was a great purchase.

    Great device. I bought two for my kids before Christmas when BB had an amazing sale on them. Display, performance, and battery life are all excellent. Battery life does depend on your individual usage but my kids tell me they're happy.

    I bought the galaxy s8 unlocked from best buy. Or works so well not only in the states but also in other countries where you have a sim-card. The phone is extremely fast and now, after a year purchased, still working as new.

    My Samsung S6 "died". The Note 9 was released the week I shopped for a replacement. This enabled me to purchase the S8 at a relatively reasonable cost. The S8 performs well. I rated it Good rather than Excellent because some of its functionality differs from the S6 but is not easily understood through the S8 Settings or User Manual.
