    Galaxy S8 has a great visual display and camera. Bixby not fully functional which is the reason for 4 stars.

    Learned to Love It

    I got this for my hubby when his Galaxy 6 was stolen. At first, he told me to take it back and get him a 6. He failed to realize, that was no longer an option. That being said, he learned to love this phone! He figured out the new, more up to date and handy options, as well as loving the speed of the new phone. He says it will be buried with him! I'm sure by the time that happens, we will have the Galaxy 50 (or even newer model) available!

    Apple to Samsung

    I just wanted to contribute a bit to say that I am an iMac and iPad owner, and my parents and daughter are on their Apple family plans with their iMacs, MacBooks, iPads, and iPhones. I decided to upgrade my iPhone 7 to a Galaxy S8. I've been disappointed with all the bugs from Apple lately, and I just wanted to try something different. I am glad I got my Galaxy S8, and I may just stay with Samsung for my phone, or at least feel comfortable choosing whichever phone is best at upgrade time, rather than feeling scared to leave Apple due to the convenience factor of being entirely within the Apple Ecosystem. Samsung, Google, and AT&T make it very easy to have all the conveniences you need as an "Apple dude" with a Galaxy phone. So if you're an Apple consumer and curious, take the plunge!

    It's a nice phone with good features. I wish they wld do away with the curved edge. It seems pointless. Also makes it difficult to use the good screen protectors and phone cases.

    Going from a S5 to the S8 was a great move. It's so much faster and in general just runs better.

    I was nervous about not having a button on the front but I hardly notice. I really like still having the buttons on the sides for volume and control. But the phone is super sleek and fits well in my hand. It is operating great and has a great quality screen. I would definitely buy again!!

    Samsung made the Galaxy S8 with exactly the same features as it's bigger brother, the Galaxy S8-plus. So if you want a smaller phone with world-class features, this is a great choice. Both of these phones are narrower than previous phones, so they both are easier to hold in one hand.

    This is my 4th Samsung in over 9 years. I've had wonderful use out of each one, they last. So many apps, great camera & other features make this model a breeze. It has good sound + great image clarity. Customizing my home screens keeps me organized. I LOVE SWIPE texting!

    Only have it now for a week so not fully integrated with it, but seems to be a great mid-size 5.8" display phone and is dependable in service. When I don't use it much the battery lasts for about 2 days. I like that especially. I also enjoy the side-bar feature which I haven't seen before on other brand phones. It has an excellent response rate on whatever function or feature your applying. However, it can also be too sensitive and put you in a different mode than what you intended, but that may have to do with settings, etc. which I have to get to know better. All in all it's got my thumbs up rating, Been on a lower class phone for awhile and paid the price with a lot of faults and flaws in its operating system. Glad to be back with Samsung again. Had an S6 for about 3 years, then an Asus. A royal pain. A lesson learned about getting what you pay for. It's definitely worth it to have a top name and reputation brand phone than take the risk of accepting or settling for less of a phone which may pose more headaches, and lots of frustration. You simply can't go wrong with Samsung.

    I preordered this phone on best buy, the day it was released they provided me with great service and helped me transfer my files to my new phone. The phone battery is everything it last so long. I love the edge screen and the look of the phone. Samsung has done a great job yet again.

    Upgraded from an S5 so of course this phone is way better. Ridiculous amount of storage compared to what I had. My only complaint so far is the curved screen. I can't even hold my phone out of a case without accidently touching the screen on the sides. Pretty annoying.

    I bought this phone for my wife, and so far she likes it. She loves the picture quality for taking pictures and videos of the grand kids, very clear. Every now and then she has trouble with people hearing her, so we need to get it checked out. So far, mine has not had any issues.

    I'm an apple guy (multiple iPads, imacs,macbooks), but I've never really warmed up to the iPhone despite all my family having one as well as having my own from work. Quite honestly I'm a longtime blackberry holdout, but the lack of apps finally got to me, almost waited for the new keyone, but bought this instead and am so glad I did. This phone is truly amazing!

    Was a windows phone fan, but since they totally mismanaged / promoted them and left us high and dry, had to move on. The S8 Had exceeded expectations! Lots of ways to customize it to act like a WP. Everything on this phone works great. Made switching to android easy.

    I'm so happy I have this phone and not a more complicated one. I'm 68 yrs. old and have no tech skills that allow me to do more than call and text. I always need to have the grand kids show me what to do and they say how easy it is with this phone.
