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).

    The Best Buy exclusive blue color phone never fails to draw positive comment. Phone itself is a spectacular performer. Charges quickly, great camera and crystal clear reception.

    I was really dreading getting a new phone but I am delighted with this Samsung Galaxy 8. The camera Works excellent, easy to use apps, and the battery has stayed up.

    I am an iPhone person but I have to support people that use Android. I needed to update my Android device so I picked this up. I like the form factor and the way it feels in my hand and the way the screen rolls over the edge a little is kinda cool. Edge lighting is interesting as well. As a phone it works good, reception and network speed were what I would expect. The device is responsive and has decent processing power. The screen is nice but color management is only good and colors are garish sometimes. The fingerprint sensor is in an odd place but I was able to adapt to it for the most part. The sensor works pretty good but not much more than that. I did not use face or iris scanning so not sure there. Overall if you are an Android person this a very nice device and if the form factor works for you I am sure you will love it. Most of my gripes would not relate to the physical device so would be unfair to knock it for.

    I wasn't really in the market for a new phone, but my need for an unlocked cellphone and FREE bundle (wireless charger & 128GB MicroSD card) lead me to this purchase.

    Love the phone and many of the new features, not to thrilled with the inability to have the flashlight on at the same time as the camera... this was something I always used before to prevent red-eye and give better than flash in some situations. Also, not to keen on the beveled edge (especially considering the case now doesn't protect the phone if it falls face down...since the case only goes up to the portion before the bevel it leaves a lot of glass area exposed -- even with a screen protector.) Fast, great battery life, good storage, missing some of the features on my S7 and S5, but liking some of the new features.

    Great phone with great looks and lots of awesome features. Much better than my G6. The only annoying feature on this phone is the Bixby button, which you can't disable or reassign.

    Takes very high quality pictures and the processor is very fast. Apps and programs load and move quickly/smoothly and the phone's size and weight fits very comfortably in the hand.

    Love the camera and all it can do. The pictures the camera takes come out awesome. My only problem with this phone is that it is too narrow for me. I have trouble griping and holding on to it. I'm use to a wider phone. I wound up buying a case for the phone which adds width.

    This is a nice looking phone. I chose the Coral Blue color since its very unique. Phones like this I believe require a case, so I definitely recommend getting some protection for it. The phone is super fast with a beautiful display. One of the best phones currently available.

    The screen and the camera are simply amazing. It is fragile so make sure that you have a screen protector and a cover but besides that it's simply the best phone on the market.

    Was getting sick of my S7, wasn't cutting it. Best but not only gave me big money for it, but also had an outright sale that made this phone very affordable. 10/10 would recommend

    Excellent phone it has plenty of storage and memory. Only problem is that I can't make video phone calls like I could with Verizon s7. I'll just have to use Skype instead.

    Needed new phone and wanted an unlocked version. Got excellent help and advice from Best Buy and settled on the S8 due to larger screen, better camera, and increased data storage.
