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).

    This is a new phone so I have not mastered it. It is 4 stars because I made an appointment to meet at Best Buy with a Samsung specialist to learn the phone but when I arrived the next day (paying a bridge fee) I was told the trainer got a call from her supervisor and had left for another store. I was very upset. I still have not found the voicemail to set it up but will go to a Samsung store this afternoon. That all being said, I like the phone and the photos are beautiful. Sound quality of phone calls is good and texting, etc. works well. I should mention I am 69 years old; if I was younger I would probably already be an expert on the phone.

    The phone works beyond my expectations after tinkering with it for few days. The phone is LOADED with features I didn't expect to have such as food mode in the camera, video stabilization, mobile hotspot (apparently overlooked that in specs) and many others. However.... a week into using my phone it seems my vibration feature bugged up and now I need to have the vibration feedback on max to be able to have it feedback as it did at factory version, my screen is starting to not respond to my surround lighting and last night the phone overheated while charging... Not too happy about that. However, this is hands down the best phone I've purchased.

    Good camera. Solid performance. Phone calls are clear. Only downside is the edges of the screen are curved so be prepared for a lot of accidental clicking on things.

    Screen is great

    Best part about this device is Screen, its beautiful, its fluid and it looks stunning, there is no doubt about i However beyond that there is nothing great about this device. Camera is good but colors are over saturated. Biggest gripe is FingerPrint Sensor. Its usless, i am fine with putting it at back but location is just foolish. And the other methods like Iris scanner is far from good. I wear glasses, so by default its of no use. Face Recognition is good only when it works, 40% of the time it doesnt work, and this is where my issue is. Putting usless hardware without it proper working or proper future plan is what samsung always does wrong.

    This is a good midrange phone. I had a pixel problem that was fixed under warranty, and received good costumer service from Samsung. I am a moderate user of apps, and it has enough memory and speed to do what I want it to. I don't do a lot of photos or videos, so I didn't need much from my camera. If you want to do low light or massive zoom, the crowd in front of me at concerts seem to have better phones than this one.
