Better than expected pictures and editing software. This phone seems to be comparable to an iphone in many ways. Very happy so far!!

I purchased this phone since my previous phone had stopped working. This phone takes great pictures and has a lot of cool features.

Great features,great battery life -it is just the best brand -Samsung !

I love this phone, it is light, small and have great camera. BixBy is a bit stupid, but I am hoping they will upgrade it very soon.

The Galaxy S8 has great camera pictures and making connections is the fastest I have had yet. Surf and text and GPS to places faster

Very happy with this phone. Camera works very well. Had some trouble transferring photos from my old phone. Phone keys on the edges are somewhat temperamental. Dictation does not work well.

Buying an unlocked phone is the way to go! It costs more up front, but less frustration without all the carrier marketing.

Another great purchase from Best Buy. It took me a bit of time to convince my wife that this was the phone she needed and that Best Buy was the better place from which to purchase. We picked the phone up at the local Best Buy and the Tech at Best Buy helped us greatly by updating the machine and reactivating the phone, which was so well done for us. The Staff was so helpful with our SIM card and getting the phone activated for us.

Bought as replacement for Huawei Mate 9 that died suddenly. Really wanted another Galaxy Note, but the 8 wasn't out yet. Settled for S8. Oh, what a mistake. All the usual non removable samsung bloatware and glitchy samsungized apps, but this phone is the WORST ergonomic design I've ever had to endure. Obviously NOBODY at Samsung actually USES the products they dump on the consumer. The fingerprint sensor location is ABSURD!! Seriously, Samsung?? Also, the sensor is THE WORST I've used yet at recognizing my fingerprint. I had to reload prints several times to get it to work at all, and then it's extremely temperamental. Sometimes it reads (S-L-O-W-L-Y), but mostly it ignores me. Conversely, my Huawei Mate 9 recognizes my fingerprint in a fraction of a second, EVERY TIME.. even when my hands are dirty or wet. Samsung FP reader is so fickle it is absolutely worthless. I had to go back to using PIN or other security measures. Although, Samsung says the screen is 5.8", it is VERY NARROW aspect ratio, aka a candy bar. Makes reading text difficult in portrait mode. That, coupled with the idiotic rounded glass edge screen pushes the legibility & usability rating to ZERO. Perhaps Samsung thinks they are selling S8's mainly to children, but I need a phone suitable for business/scientific applications. This phone is NOT IT. Further, right after I bought the phone, slid it into my shirt pocket... which unfortunately also contained my keys. Didn't have screen protector yet (was on order), but I was shocked to see the screen chipped on one edge. After several days, the crack migrated across the entire screen, typical of tempered glass when chipped on edge. Another downfall of curved edge displays. Other issues: Despite 3GB ram, 64GB storage, and 128GB of Samsung ultrafast SD storage, this phone is the SLOWEST I've had yet in the high end/phablet type. App lag is noticeable, ranging from annoying to significant - even with the stock Android/Samsung apps. Also, apps frequently close unexpectedly or crash altogether (same apps run fine on my other android phones). Conversely, my aging Galaxy Note 3 (which was an outstanding phone, aside from Samsung bloatware) was very responsive and reliable, even though less memory/storage, and less powerful CPU. Samsung has been going downhill ever since the Note 3. Complacency and arrogance, not a good business mix. Overall, extremely dissatisfied with this S8. Was considering buying a Note 8, but given the similarity to S8, and all the problems I've had, plus Samsung's arrogant attitude, not only will I not buy a NOTE 8, but I will not purchase ANY SAMSUNG product for my business or personal use. Had way too many problems with them. Done with Samsung. Adios, Tschüs, Bye-bye..

This phone is great. Androids have all the features of an iphone minus the ridiculous price tag.

Plenty of storage, good processing speed-even using multiple apps, clear picture for movies and TV, decent sound

This is by far the best phone and greatest screen/camera on any phone I've owned and I've owned a lot of phones. The one drawback is the fragility of this unit. Shattered the screen with a two foot drop in a parking lot without a case or screen protector. Samsung did replace the screen for free since I only had it for 16 days. I now have a $45 screen protector and a $40 Otterbox case so I feel a TAD bit better. Enjoy this phone if you buy it just protect it the best you can. Only reason it gets a 4 star is the fact it's the most breakable phone Samsung has ever produced.

My old phone died, so decided to get the new Samsung S8. Best choice I made, this phone does what I expect with good battery life.

I wanted to use this unlocked version internationally. I have always like samsung and this was a good choice,

me acabao de cambiar a android y me encanta, hace a el telefono es facil de usar, versatil, la camara es super buena

Quality excellent. Just bought this phone didn't want to spend big $$ for Galaxy 9. Don't need to...phone is great.

I needed something with lots of storage space and something that also wouldn't restrict me on absolutely anything I wanted to do.

Love the phone! Upgraded from note 3 the phone is nothing like any of the Samsung phones I used before. Camera is excellent too.

Fantastic that Samsung has reintroduced the micro ad card again. Gives you the option of increased storage without changes phones.

i was an apple user and i switch to android only because of this phone. great camera, processor as well as easy to carry around.
