    This is the best cell phone I have ever owned. The battery typically lasts 3 or more days. I never drop a phone call. The screen is scratch proof. The Best buy representative moved all of my contact files, photos from my old phone to the Samsung. I was a little concerned over the price. However, Best Buy met the price of the competition. If you need a new phone, Best buy makes the purchase and transition easy.

    I have been extremely pleased with this phone. In the past, I have shied away from Samsung phones, largely because I found their TouchWiz interface annoying and obtrusive. The galaxy s8+ feels more like traditional android and has been easy to use. The always-on-display makes checking the phone really easy, and my battery life has been excellent. For those of you who think the s8+ will be too big, it's really not. Samsung made the screen tall vs wide, so the phone is surprisingly comfortable to hold despite all that screen.

    my fiancé broke his phone a couple weeks before his birthday so I decided to get him a phone. He had the iPhone 6s Plus and so do I. Have always been iPhone fans but I really loved the design of the galaxy. I decided to get it unlocked from Best Buy and he loved it! He's always showing off to me how his galaxy is better than my iPhone and it's true! I'm planning to buy one for myself. Great product, life battery is great, display is great, option of extra storage is amazing! Simply great phone totally recommend it!

    I used it for almost three months and no problem so far. At the beginning the Android system was a bit buggy and after several updates, it is getting better now. Overall things are great and it runs fast. Love the product!!

    Pros: This phone is really look good, fast, still handy even it is a little bigger than s7 edge and the battery last longer. Cons: Doesn't have the color code for contacts at the edge. One of the reason why I bought my S7 edge.

    Astonishing Device

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This phone is very light and sleek. There are numerous folks that I have let hold my phone without a case that feel that it's too fragile because of how light and gorgeous it is and fear they will drop it. I can honestly say that the Gorilla Glass 5 on this device has held up very well. I have dropped it a few times from various heights and environments, both with an without a case. (had the phone for 3 days before receiving a case. Car dashboard to gear stick base, waist line to concrete parking lot etc. The durability in it mainly, that I've noticed, is at its best when falling on a flat surface. For instance, if there was a mineral/pebble while falling face down, i'm pretty sure that if the pebble was dense enough, it would have penetrated the glass, but fortunately, 13 drops and no fouls. Bixby This AI is completely worth it! Mainly because it allows you to increase the efficiency of your routines with Quick commands. two examples of my quick commands following using voice wake-up "Hi Bixby" and followed by the string of commands exectuted. 1). "Goodnight" -Set alarm for 7am -Set Do not disturb -Close all open apps -Optimize now -Close all open apps End Result -Phone's memory has been optimized to ensure no overheating overnight in case i end up using it in the night and it ends up under a pillow. My alarm has been set as well as i am not disturbed in the night except for contacts and notifications that i have whitelisted 2. "I'm Getting in the car" -Turn on Bluetooth -Navigate to work -open Spotify End Result - Bleutooth has been turned on (already auto-connects to my car), google maps has navigated a route to work (i like to see how much traffic is ahead and if any alternate routes should be taken), and spotify is open so that i can select a playlist before i take off. (I say this command on the way to the vehicle). HINT! No matter how proper your annunciation is, (especially if you have an accent) go through the Bixby Enhance voice recognition for both Bixby and voice wake-up at least 5 times. You'll thank me!

    Awesome SAMSUNG (unlocked AT&T) phone with features that blew me away. Great video and picture taking camera on default settings. Can control this phone for privacy on the internet and as well as app privacy controls. Internet browser desktop function that works on about 90% of html sites. The cpu speed can be controlled for max battery life. Loads of options for color, graphics and notifications from every aspect of phone settings and Samsung downloadable site. Need I say MORE !

    Phone is among the best looking an feeling phones I’ve ever had. When it works it’s amazing. However there has been issues with galaxy 8 not converting iMessages to sms. So very likely you’ll miss texts from friends with iPhones. Was the only reason I got rid of this phone.

    Was forced to upgrade after my S7 Edge was dropped one too many times. S8 Plus has not disappointed! Great specs, size is perfect, features are awesome and LOVE the "unlocked" version, as no pre-loaded bloatware.

    I have an iPhone and decided to give the Samsung a try and I must say, I am in absolute love with this phone! I always felt frustrated when taking pictures with the iPhone due to the lack of quality of he pics, now I can't stop taking pictures everywhere I go, specially when traveling. Being able to truly record a moment that shows exactly what you are looking at, it's an amazing feeling! The sun, the moon, the ocean, the details of a flower.. I mean, I have to words to express how amazing this is!

    I was really frustrated at first since this phone was reported to work with REpublic Wireless service but after I bought it I found out that it hadn't actually been approved yet by RW even though Best Buy listed it as compatible. About a week ago Republic Wireless was able to release new SIM cards so now the phone works on that service!

    I use this phone for editing spreadsheets and email mostly at work. It does great in both. The only thing I miss is the S pen from the Note line of phones. I think I will upgrade to the Note 9 when it comes out.
