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).

    I had the Samsung S5 and needed to upgrade; so, I decided to purchase the S8, it is a great phone and the camera is amazing. I have not had any problems and it is super easy to use.

    The S8 is super fast-- all the apps open and close quickly. Not a huge upgrade from the S7 edge, but it definitely feels faster. Only time will tell if it holds up to future updates.

    I decided to upgrade from the Samsung S7 Edge to the new S8. I can't believe how flawless this phone operates. I really love the upgraded selfie camera and it's quality. This is a must buy!!

    Excellent phone & camera. Some of the symbols are not tagged to the same letter as they were on my previous phone. Not a big deal. I think I'll figure it out. But it is an excellent phone.

    i bought the phone about a month ago. its cool but it has frozen twice already where i had to find help to restart it. One side of my ear phone also has stopped working just a month of using this product. Everything else is okay and i love the size, the apps and how it looks

    Long time Galaxy user and this is definatelythe BEST! I encourage all to go go unlocked to save some money and give yourself the ultimate in flexibility. I'm on Sprint but now have options!

    This phone is incredible! I am not using Bixby, and prefer using the numeric unlock code, rather than the iris or fingerprint sensor. This addresses the supposed shortcomings of the phone.

    My Samsung S4; that I used on regular bases for the last 4 years seemed like it was working just fine. However, after doing some internet and personal investigation on the newer phones; it soon became apparent my little old workhouse might need to be put out to pasture? I decided to upgrade to the Samsung Galaxy S8. The newer hardware and software features are what sold me; the phone sold itself with what I was looking for. The bonus was the discount I received at Best Buy; and the FREE one on one personnel training classes they offer with how to use it. My fat fingers feel at ease with what I am learning as one of the best investments I have made to date!

    Great phone...bit difficult to get use to! Glad it is unlocked and I can make my choice what service I use, but not very happy they advertise $50 off activate right away but only give you one plan to choose from? :( Overall, good purchase but a bit over priced....

    This is a completely different phone. There are no more buttons, it's like learning a new phone all over again. Other than that, the phone is amazing. Fast, great screen and pictures.

    I purchased the Galaxy S8 for wife to upgrade her Galaxy S5 (on Verizon pre-paid) and she loves it!!! Infinity screen is huge; iris and fingerprint scanners are a plus. It's water and dust resistant and has wireless charging. Saved $150 on this unlocked phone from BestBuy; everyone else at the time was selling for more plus it was bundled with a sim kit and pre-paid card for AT&T who I am already currently using and recommend. The Galaxy S9 is a great phone but cost $400 more; the S8, only last year's model is just as good for what my wife will use it for. I have an iPhone SE and considering the Galaxy S8 as my upgrade!

    I had an S7 and find the S8 a worthwhile upgrade. The battery life is very good and the screen with the Infinity Display is excellent, bright with great colors. The photos it takes are slightly better than the S7.
