    I had a Samsung Galaxy S5 for many years and I was satisfied with it. However, after reading about the new S8 model, and watching it from one of my sons, I decided to buy it. I am very pleased with that decision. It is an excellent device, with many new features, easy to use, and its design is nice.

    My wife replaced her Note 4 with this S8. The phone itself is great. Familiar menus and programming, great camera, and battery is performing 4 to 5 times better than the Note 4. It is only about a week old though, but if it continues to perform in this manner, a much improved phone this will be.

    The phone is pretty cool. It over heats when charging on a wireless charger(I charged it as I slept 12am-6am) but cools instantly. Bixby sucks I liked cortana when I had my htc

    Hated to get a new phone but Samsung made it easy with the included sync cable that allows you to transfer everything that you want from the old phone to the new one. Love the feel of the S8, still learning all the features but the camera is excellent and the battery life is great - so far!

    I waited to buy this phone, but after all the great reviews and it going on sale at Best Buy, I decided to go ahead. I went from an S4, which I still liked, to the S8 and am so happy I did. There are great new features, it's a nice looking phone, and it is so much faster than my old phone.

    Galaxy S8 purchased just before the S9 release. So far so good. Has some great features--camera especially easy to use with great photos and recordings. Is a little heavier than the S7 but the size is fine. Still exploring all the features, but it seems like it will be a winner.

    Former iPhone only user. I dropped my iPhone 6 in the river fishing last week and now it's just a paper weight. I decided that someone like me (active outdoors man) should get a phone that can handle the elements. The galaxy S8 checked off all my needs. The waterproof rating is higher than iPhone and the gorilla glass is stronger. Basically, had I dropped the S8 in the river last weekend, I would still have it. Not to mention it does almost everything better than the iPhone. It has an unbelievable display. I just sit and watch 4K videos on YouTube and annoy my family showing them how amazing it is. The video camera is top notch too. I just love this phone. I bought a UAG case for it (look it up) and now it's even more dynomite. I will have this phone for a LONG time.

    The phone it'self is really nice, and has some really nice features, loved the iris scanner, the battery seemed to last a nice amount for me. But within the first day of having it, it would randomly restart, it would happen about 6-10 times a day. Got it swapped out with a new phone.... it did the same thing. After taking it to the Samsung in a local best buy they could not find anything wrong so they flashed it. He did say that in his system he saw that there were many reports of it, but no solution yet. This seems to be a common problem even though it's not being widely reported on. Do a search for Galaxy S8 restarting. It's going on 5 weeks since release and no comment from Samsung. See the samsung community boards. People are calling Samsung and they are still telling them 'I've never heard of this" I ended up returning mine before the 14 days.

    I switched from the iphone 6 to this Samsung Galaxy 8 and am very happy with the phone. The screen is vibrant and I like the curved look to it. Haven't had any issues with getting set up, getting applications installed. Still getting used to using the Android but so far loving it!!

    I have owned every iPhone since the first, a slave to the apple logo. The only major changes in 10 years was going from 3G to LTE and the size change. Everything else was basically the same. I looked at the S8 plus, played with it and bought it. I'm learning android (like learning Chinese) I love the challenge and it's so much more fun than the old IOS and so very customizable. Great look, feel and fast as lightning. Got a $200 discount on the phone and went to ATT and got a S350 S3 Frontier watch for $49. I can forget my phone and if my wife calls and tells me she forgot to tell me to pick something up, I answer my watch. Works great. My Best Buy experience was great, I love my new OLED Samsung and phone insurance is 50% less than ATT. No longer a slave to the Apple logo. PS, the Best Buy phone folks are much more friendly, knowledgeable, and unbiased than Apple store (no one really like going to the Apple store) 73 and still learning.

    The Galaxy S8 is the best phone in the world, hands down. It's absolutely stunning to look at with its beautiful appeal, absolutely awesome Crystal Clear camera views, the battery life is extremely long and I don't charge my phone but every 2 days and I use it all the time.

    I recently upgraded my phone from an S4 so this was kind of an adjustment. So far I am really liking it, it is definitely much faster. I love the screen. I am still getting used to some of the newer features and still exploring all it has to offer. So far I love my new S8!

    I went from an S5 to an S8 & it was like going from a flip phone to a smart one. I am still learning about all the features. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the fact that the battery will last a whole day w/o needing a recharge - even when it's being used. Love the new cameras too.

    The battery life on the Samsung S8 smartphone is a great improvement over previous models, as is the camera. I find the Bixby feature a bit annoying and could probably do without it. It certainly doesn't have nearly the capability of Alexis or Sir I. Overall the S8 is a good, but probably overpriced, product.
