    You could argue this phone is the best phone out there. Pros -amazing screen -solid battery life -great camera -powerful specs Cool new features (facial recognition, iris scanner, edge menu, etc) -beautiful looking phone Cons -Bixby button location -Bixby sensitive to music, alarm, phone calls that trigger it for no reason -slippery, case definitely needed.

    First phone is several years. This replaced my S4. The S8+ is amazing. Had it a week and still haven't utilized a fraction the device's capabilities. Best thing about an unlocked phone, I can remove apps at anytime without them having to linger and take up valuable device memory. And IF my carrier doesn't have the BEST deal..."See ya"...and I can move on to a better deal.

    Switched from an iPhone 7 for a larger screen and didn't want to pay for an "X"... has a few quirks (like the placement of the fingerprint reader, and hard to do some functions one handed )to get used to but overall satisfied with the purchase

    Pretty easy to use after having an iPhone. The phone is pretty big to where I need to use 2 hands but there's also a one hand option setting.

    I switched carriers and bought the cheap phone and it was terrible then I bought a Huawei 6x plus paid $250 and it was slow and frozen up so I thought it was my carrier then I thought I would give it one more try with the Samsung galaxy S8 plus and can I say it is amazing you get what you pay for I am very happy with the speed and smooth operation of the S8 plus!

    I like it, sleek design overall very good quality and performance. I've been using for a month and I haven't experience any issue except occasion it would suddenly shut off for no reason. But other than that I had great experience so far.

    Purchase was great, representative was wrong about the product. I did return to the store and they take more than 45 min. to solve the situation and give me my cell. They charge me the same amount for a cheaper cell, no recognition at all.

    My Nexus 6 was dying, it was over 2 years old and it was laggy and the battery didn't last long any longer. I considered waiting for the Pixel 2 XL, but I was not excited about the loss of a headphone jack. After using my wife's Galaxy S8, I was satisfied that the Samsung Experience skin was muted enough to not annoy me. I am completely happy with my purchase.

    First of all just go buy the phone. Samsung continues to churn out solid and reliable phones that look absolutely amazing as well. The screen is beyond great and if you stare at another phone for even a second you will miss your s8! Battery life is outstanding, the speakers are great as well as the camera. You will not be disappointed. Highly recommended!
