Customer Ratings & Reviews

There are very few devices that I would say I love and I love this device. Screen is perfect for everything and I am an Engineer. No issues. Just buy a good screen protector and case (low profile) and you are set for life. I used this phone all Day!!!! Music, Phone calls. Games and at the end of the day it still ready for anything. If you had to bring one device with you this would be the device (with a fast charger)...

Things I love about the s8: Beautiful large screen that doesn't require a large phone. Samsung Pay is the biggest seller for me. It's the only payment system that works on both NFC registers and regular magnetic strip card readers. Retinal scan is cool but not that fast. Overall the phone is quite zippy. The Edge feature is more novelty than useful. Compared to the s7: I think the s7 was probably the perfect phone. The screen is quite a bit bigger than the s7. Also, the camera is an upgrade. The biggest downfall of the s8 is moving the fingerprint scanner in the back. It's awkward to use. I do miss the button on the front.

Best phone I have owned to date. It's fast and easy to use. Amazing camera

I got this to replace my well-used Galaxy S7. I'd had that phone for almost two years (I chose to upgrade early by three months due to a technical issue with the old phone). So far, compared to my wife's much less used S7 they're very similar, although I think mine's just a touch faster. I tried using the edge screen and quickly disabled it. The curved screen edge is more gimmick than useful IMHO, but maybe you will find it more to your liking than I did. The upgrade process was pretty painless thanks to them both being Samsungs, although my battery was pretty close to dead when I got it home after they transferred it for me at the local BB. I've not noticed any major differences with pictures although I understand the camera in the S8 is supposed to be better than the one in the S7. I did look at some of the other Android options out there, but since the Pixel is only with Verizon (and doesn't support Qi charging?!?!?!) I opted to just keep on keeping on. I have noticed the battery holds its charge much longer, but I suspect that would be true for any new phone compared to one that's almost two years old. So far, this phone has been rock solid and I've not dropped any calls (the reason why I upgraded early). Given the need and similar options, I'd get another one of these again.

Love how fast it is. I also love the camera and how big the screen is

Love my phone and so happy I gave in to get a new one. My old Galaxy 4 was giving me so many problems but I was afraid I would have a problem getting use to a new phone and all the new apps. I was wrong, it was so easy to get use to. Pictures are beautiful, love the camera. The saleman was so good and helpful with all my questions which really helped me out.

Nice sized screen. Great camera and processor. Very pleased

I was not sure I wanted to spend the money for this, but it is a great phone, super fast, easy to use and transfer data to, lots of memory and takes amazing photos. I am really happy with this purchase.

Great phone....64gb is a lot of space....battery lasts longer than my galaxy s6...screen is longer...camera takes beautiful clear pics...has selfie flash! Beats the s#%t out of Apple phones(:

I have had Samsung for a few generations now, and just switched to Sprint after being with AT&T for over 10 years. Really like this phone, no delays in going from apps, pictures, and videos are sharp. Took me 10 days to figure out how to pair it to my smart watch, a 1st gen moto 360, but it works great now. The curved glass has taken me awhile to get use to, but all in all, I'm glad I stuck with Samsung, this phone is a beast. Can charge in just a little over an hour, lasts all day. I'm really enjoying listening to Pandora in my truck on my drive to work everyday, thanks to this new phone and unlimited data from Sprint. All my medical apps work great too at work.

I traded in my Samsung S III for this lovely blue S 8 and know i traded up. There's much better control over many functions from the lighted screen to the fantastic 12mp camera. Apps work much faster (thank goodness). My friend no longer complains when i talk to her on my mobile.

Let me start out by saying that I am very happy with my GS8. It's an excellent phone that is responsive, has a battery that easily lasts a day, and plenty of (mostly) useful features. Not to mention the minimal bezels and brilliant screen. I'm not going to go on and repeat all the good things pretty much every online review says about phone. My issue with the phone is Samsung's notorious and pervasive bloat-ware. Some of it adds rather useful functionality, a fair bit of it is annoyingly redundant and actually takes away functionality in my opinion. An excellent example of this is that a url sent in a text will launch that page inside of the messages app. You are not able to launch the web page in a non-Samsung web browser. Sure, you could copy the url or utilize one of the options the app gives for you but I'm not a fan of being forced into using one app or being required to go through extra steps to use other apps that are available to me. It is one of the primary reasons I use Android phones. I hate that Samsung is emulating Apple in the their own, and largely redundant, apps. I know that boot loaders and various other apps exist that feature "workarounds" for much of the more annoying features (such as the Bixby butto, that even activates when the screen is off) but the button-mappers that I have tried work on either a delay or close the app that was launched and then launches the a different app. For me, the annoying bloat is (barely) better than the delayed response. Having said that, there are proprietary features I am largely a fan of such as the screen stay (keeps screen on while you're looking at it), the various ways to wake up and to unlock the phone, and the edge app and its various panels. I've only had the phone a little over a week now and I am still getting used to the minutia of how it works. So far, the good easily trumps the bad.

I've always been a fan of Samsung since the galaxy S2. So year, after year I kept up with what they were releasing and until now none of those devices (except the note 4) caught my attention. Then they unveiled this beauty. It has everything you could want in a smart phone besides a removable battery! A gorgeous screen and in such a small form factor! Opens apps and does all tasks quickly. Has an SD card with 64 internal storage. Samsung pay probably is my fav feature now; no longer have to leave my card hanging out of the terminals. Over all this phone is everything I could hope for and more.

I've had a mint condition GS6 for nearly 3 years and I've had no issues with it. It was time for a replacement. I didn't want an oversized phone so I went with the GS8. Great speed, picture quality and the display is awesome!

I love this phone. The slim, lightweight design and max screen size. Samsung nailed it on this model. Amazing camera and battery life.

Went from Galaxy S6 to S8. Major improvement w the camera, screen, speed, & battery. Very impressed. Only drawback is the change in battery charger. It's a pain & pricey to change all my chargers to new type.

Bought this phone to replace my lost S7... thought it would be pretty much the same. Boy was I wrong. This phone is so much better. Extremely fast, better screen, and the calling plus feature Rocks!

I was a little hesitant in going back to a monthly payment for a phone - however my older S5 was beginning to slow and have other operating errors - and with my need for business I needed a new phone. REally like the new S8 - a few of new modifications take some time to learn - since no real Operating Guide - Google has become my new best friend in answering questions on "how to's" for this phone. sleek design and full screen are really nice. very fast operations.

Picture quality A+ OS A+ Size and comfort feel A+ User friendly A+ This is the second S8 that I have owned and I'm totally pleased with Samsung's products, when it comes to cell phones.

Having gotten my first Samsung phone in many years in 2016 with the S7 edge, I was skeptical of the S8 and some of the original fuss. After a few months I decided to take the plunge with a good offer. This phone is fantastic. It's fast, responsive and so far has done everything I've asked. The camera is great, the waterproofing is a welcome safety measure and the expandable storage make this a great performer. So far I am very happy with the purchase.
