    Great screen size and features. I upgraded from an S5 and what a difference a few years makes in technology. Now if I can only find a curved screen shield that works without bubbles I will be a happy camper

    My first Samsung smart phone after a few LG's. While the LG was a fine, solid smartphone, I really like the little details that make the samsung galaxy series one of the best in the industry.

    I liked all of the extra features that this phone gives through Samsung. The full edge to edge screen is very handy. The price is pretty hefty but all of the top contenders ran about the same price.

    Purchased to replace iphone and it takes great photos. Somewhat different from old phone but not difficult to learn. Best Buy has great employees that are available to help with our new phones.

    I upgraded from the Samsung Galaxy S5 to the S8. The jump was a very good upgrade. Enough of an upgrade to really appreciate the power of the S8 and also to love some of the hardware upgrades. I really enjoy the fingerprint sensor and how well it works as well as where it is positioned. Also glad that I have a lot more onboard storage space with this phone. Even with external storage options its still super important to have a lot of onboard storage because the way that apps install by default it eats up that storage space pretty quickly. This is a great phone and the price is right with the newer version being released as well. Buy one and I doubt you will regret it.

    Had a Samsung 4 before and this is quite a change. Camera is great and with a little patience I am able to get into the phone more. Best Buy is really great in providing any assistance when I ask for it.

    I cannot properly emphasize how perfect this phone feels in your hand. The contours, texture, weight, everything. It looks sleek, too. Unfortunately, it's very fragile. Very, very, very fragile. Do not drop outside of a case. Do not drop in a case. Do not even put it in your pocket 'roughly'.

    The phone hardware is pretty fantastic and the new version of TouchWiz is much better than previous versions. Bixby is pretty useless so far, especially because it comes with Google Assistant through Android. Hope there are improvements for Bixby in the future and/or a native way to remap the Bixby button.

    Purchased this phone after owning LGs, and Sony. This is by far better and the 64GB is the best thing I ever decided to get. Always has lots of storage for Apps I can not store on my SD card.

    It fits in my pocket, unlike the new and "better" phones. Replaced a stolen one (stupid me, no insurance). In store service was good, but it always takes some extra tech support to make sure all my contacts are available. I like my mom, but in the switch, her contact info disappeared!

    Phone worth only for a year

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

    Samsung carrier locked phones are just worth a year before they start getting slow. I would have preferred to buy an unlocked phone instead of carrier locked but due to financing options with ATT had to stick with it. Just think twice before going for any samsung smartphones since they have a tendency to slow down quickly and carrier updates are generation old.

    This is by far the best Android phone out there. All features far exceed the other competitors out there. The only issue I wish they would fix/update is the bixby button. Make it programmable.
