    I have been a long time hate of the Galaxy line but I came around with the release of this phone. The screen is to nice and it's a lot snappier than previous galaxy entries.

    So far so good, battery life is fantastic and charging goes fast, phone responds nicely, haven’t tested whether it’s truly waterproof. I can even call with it ;)

    I'm still learning all the things the phone offers, but so far, so good. I especially like that McAfee comes pre-installed to help with security. Camera takes great photos.

    It was time to upgrade and a co-worker just got the S8. She was very happy with the phone and the offer Best Buy had on the phone was awesome so I took advantage of it too!

    It works like a cell phone. I think it is good. The camera IS EXTRA NICE. I feel like a professional using this phone. A little long for the average pocket.

    I switched from iPhone to Samsung and I am pleased with the change. My Initial reason for the purchase was the camera, but I find many features are beyond my expectations.

    Best phone I've ever had, excepting Bixby

    This is my third Samsung phone, having had an S3 ans S5 in the past. I did a bunch of research online before purchasing and decided on the S8 and couldn't be happier... mostly. The screen is taller than most phones which is kind of weird to get used to at first, but it helps the phone fit in slender pockets in my jeans, so overall it's a plus. Bixby (Samsung's voice assistant) doesn't work particularly well, and I haven't found a way to stop the Bixby button from opening it up, even when the phone is locked. I feel like that's a huge security problem, but I'm sure there's a way, I just haven't found it yet.

    Have loved my Samaung since the S4 version. I'm not a huge fan of the curved screen as it makes reading (Instagram, Facebook, email) difficult. Also, not having used Apple Siri, I don't use Bixby and the extra button does that gets annoying.

    Everything you would want in a phone is in the S8: big screen, less bezels, great camera, fast charging long lasting battery, advanced specs. Does not disappoint on bit.
