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).

    Great phone! But read about unlocked phones first!

    Great phone all round. That being said the unlocked version comes with a asterisk behind it. Any vets of owning a unlocked phone especially a Samsung would know updates and alike are slow to be issued & patched if ever. Usability issues become unique to unlocked phones typically because their carrier counter parts get updates frequently. One issue I've encountered since getting the phone is its incompatibility with Gear VR an issue that has only recently been resolved. All this being said the recent fix for the Gear VR show me that Samsung maybe more proactive in updating this unlocked phone! Making it a better choice for your run of the mill user.

    I love the S8 from Samsung. The phone is brand new, came unlocked as advertise. For anyone who is living in the Caribbean the phone is unlock and is working perfectly with Digicel, my cell phone company. I love my new phone.

    I've been using my galaxy s8 for 1year now and I still love it. The battery life is amazing and fast charget is also a bonus. Dropped it two/three times (with phine case) but still working properly and no cracks yet.

    Purchased an unlocked S8 after my original was stolen. Very smooth, easy process to switch over all my info at Best Buy. Really like the camera and screen clarity. Also happy with durability, can't go wrong.

    Having an unlocked phone is great to avoid all the excess apps the carriers force on the phone, but with verizon there is no supported official voicemail app for this phone. I can work around this with Google voice, but I liked the way my S5 was set up with the basic visual voicemail built in without having to use a third party app.

    I was surprised at how you can't auto save photos from text message. No shortcut to camera. Battery life is disappointing. I was surprised also how i had to name all my photos. There is also no quick way to move photos on phone to sd card. All of the above sony can do. I wish I had bought the sony xperia z1 instead..

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
