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, with more features than Iphone. However, transferring all from Iphone to the S8, was impossible. Took it to the Samsung store, but they were not able to help me with it. Unless you are a tech geek, you won't be able to transfer anything but your contacts and calendar.

    This is a great deal... Samsung S8 unlocked

    This seems to be a natural evolution path for me. I previously had a Samsung S7 edge. The S8 feels more mature in several aspects. I love particularly the bigger display and no home button. The thing I like the less about the phone is the charger adaptor, that changed to a USB-C type because I have a lot of micro USB cables to keep up with the battery... Nevertheless I understand this is a better option (way faster data transfer, and multi device interface). I was concerned about installing my AT&T SIM but the configuration was flawlesly

    While this is a much faster device it does not appear to have the same ruggedness of my old S4 Active. I do like the phone but take time to set it up the way you like so it is more comfortable to use.

    To the top in one big leap

    I had never had a smart phone before buying my Galaxy S8. I was afraid of the complexity that I saw all around me, but was becoming more concerned about not having connectivity on my trips, so I took the big leap. I am pleased that I did. The S8 has an Easy mode for beginners. Once I understood some of the "punctuation marks" that were entry doors to different operations, I had virtually no trouble finding my way around the phone's features. Some of my friends were surprised at how quickly I managed to learn everything. I have plenty yet to learn, but am feeling far more competent than I expected after a few short weeks.

    The camera on the phone is great but that's about the only positive. Phone is laggy and full of bloat. The fingerprint scanner is unbearably slow. Went back to a OnePlus

    SAMSUNG GALAXY S8. THIS PHONE IS FOR MY WIFE SO I CAN'T SPEAK TO IT'S EVERYDAY USE BUT SHE NEVER PUTS THE THING DOWN AND DOESN'T COMPLAIN ABOUT IT SO I KNOW IT FUNCTIONS WELL. ALL HER CONTACTS, PICTURES AND OTHER DATA READILY TRANSFERRED FROM HER GALAXY S5, I DID THAT AND SET-UP WAS EASY, DID THAT TOO. DIDN'T LIKE HAVING TO BUY NEW CHARGE CABLES BUT THE NEW STYLE CABLES GO INTO THE PHONE EASIER, THERE IS NO TOP OR BOTTOM LIKE THE GALAXY S5 HAS. I STILL USE AN S5 BUT I MAY TRADE UP WHEN THE GALAXY S10 IS RELEASED.
