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 bought this phone unlocked with the intention of taking it out of the US and I’ve had no problems so far.

    I decided to upgrade my phone and not change plans. I am with Boost Mobile. I researched what phone to get to be compatible with Boost. The Samsung Galaxy 8S fit my needs. Not outdated and a large savings. I was told some features (that I don't care about) may not work the same as buying a phone from Boost. Fortunately everything works great both on the Boost system and with my car blue tooth features. Very pleased with this purchase decision.

    There's still a lot of complicated aspects of this phone that require some getting used to and muscle memory. But I will say, the home screens are the best I've ever seen on an Android. I love my iPhone because I feel it's basic and user friendly. But this S8 finally meets that need for me. Camera has a ton of functions - the wave to snap picture function is awesome, but I feel it could use some tweaking to make it more responsive and identify te motion more accurately.

    I love the phone. It took me about 6 months to make the decision to get it, and I am glad I did. The only thing I would do differently is the Bixby button. There was really no need for it.
