    I bought this phone 20 days back & my love for the features & performance of my Samsung Galaxy S8 is increasing day-by-day. Awesome camera, excellent picture quality, great design... the list is endless. I LOVE THIS PHONE. I actually went to the store to buy a Google Pixel XL but the guys there changed my mind & definitely for a good reason. I wanted an Android & this was the best thing. I had read about Pixel but nothing about S8. I have no regrets of not buying a Google Pixel. Hope this phone continues to surprise me :)

    Migrating from a Galaxy S5 to a Galaxy S8 was much better than expected... improved performance, network and boot up time.

    I only upgrade every 2 or 3 years, but this was my best upgrade yet. I had run out of memory on my S5, and I was disappointed with the photo quality. The S8 is a world of difference!!! The photo quality is as good (if not better) than Apple products... I now have so much memory I can add all the apps that I like (and STILL have only consumed 20%), and I especially like the way the phone is so much more advanced...with so many more features!! It makes everything so easy (especially for someone who is not tech oriented!!

    This phone has amazing battery life. You use 3.0 usb and has an adapter for 2.0 usb and micro usb. Has a front and back flash which is absolutely stunning and photos are sharp. This phone has bixby which works to easily make phone calls, open apps and she even raps for you. My galaxy s8 came with a free pair of headphones and the audio quality is amazing. Everything is simple and easy to use. Love it! I even reccomend iphone users to switch to galaxy s8.

    Got the S8 to replace my 2+ year old S6 just as the S9 was coming out. I debated whether getting the already year old S8 was the way to go with the S9 just out, but I couldnt justify the huge payments on the S9 for a slightly better chip and a better camera, which I dont care much about. BestBuy had a great deal on the S8, and as I was still leasing my S6 through Sprint, I found myself paying more to lease the S6 than to purchase the S8. So it was a no-brainer. The phone itself is a huge upgrade, with a much better screen, slightly larger, with a lot more customization options and way faster. The lack of a true home button is annoying, but I've gotten used to it. The huge Bixby button on the left hand side of the phone (below the volume buttons) was also annoying as I was constantly hitting it accidentally. But that was solved when I shut off the annoying Samsung Bixby entirely. One other issue is the Calling Plus feature, which supposedly allows you to talk and surf (cellularly) at the same time (a la what you have been able to do on Verizon for years now). Unfortunately I found that if I turned that on making phone calls became pointless as after about 30-60 seconds or so either I couldnt hear the other party, or they couldnt hear me. Turning it off resolved the problem but failed to resolve the issue of why you still cant talk and surf on Sprint despite them promising it for years now. I suppose that wouldnt have been an issue if I was on Verizon, but I'm not. The phone otherwise is highly recommended and for the price a better option than the S9.

    Great phone overall. Not the huge upgrade over the S7 Edge but it's so elegantly designed, you should be very pleased. Bixby is a bit of a joke especially when Google Voice is right there at your fingertips. I have hopes for it eventually but for now Google Voice is a lot more handy. Great camera for selfies and the battery life is fantastic.!

    It's only been a week, but it's been fun getting to know my new phone. Coming from a S4 that was over 4-years-old but still running great, there wasn't much adjustment. Everything is just a little shinier, a little faster, a little newer. The screen looks so much smaller when you first pick it up, but as soon as it comes on...oh, man, beautiful and shiny. Liking the camera, but I don't necessarily understand the need for the Snapchat-like stickers. They are entertaining for the first 30 minutes, though. Pro mode is fun to mess around with if you understand that kind of stuff, but Auto mode is very easy to work with. I do worry about protecting this baby. I've got an OtterBox case on her right now, but they haven't figured out the built in screen protectors yet, so I've got an Amazon find on order for some of the more rough and tumble activities I find myself in. My friend's week old S8 has already found a pointy surface that cracked the corner of the gorgeous, curved screen, through a seperate, stick on screen protector. Besides that, I've been impressed so far, but let's see if I can make this one last 4 years, too.

    The Galaxy s8 has a lot of upgraded features from the s5 that I held for 3 years. I haven't explored everything yet but there is so much that this phone has to offer along with the speed of the apps and the internal memory features. I would recommend going on youtube as there are many videos that explain a lot of the upgraded features and how to set them up and access them. The camera takes very high quality pictures. For protection, the phone also offers fingerprint and face recognition features. The size of the phone is bigger than the s5 but not as wide as the s5 so it took a little getting used to. I also carry an iphone for work so it is nice to have both an android and an iphone because the android does some things better than the iphone. The android also works great with the google apps.

    My son was due for an upgrade and decided he no longer wanted an iPhone and made the jump to an android phone. I replaced my iPhone with a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge a few months ago and my son really like the features and decided to go with the Galaxy S8. The new larger "borderless" screen and sleek design are impressive. The transition from an iPhone to the Galaxy was simple for my 14 year old and he has had no complaints at all. Battery life and picture / video quality are far superior to that of his iPhone 6.

    Light years better than my previous phone, which was admittedly five years old and therefore ancient. Easy to use, takes nice pictures, and great battery life. After a month of use, I have no complaints.

    This phone is great. My old S7 had to be charged constantly from the time I purchased it. I can use my S8 for hours without the battery depleting much. The phone takes great pictures. It is hard to find a screen protector. I had to go to several places to find one that actually works well (because of the edge). The fingerprint scanner it the best! My S7 had a fingerprint scanner that never seemed to work. The S8 fingerprint scanner is on the back of the phone. So simple to use and it actually reads my fingerprint the first time. I am not sure how much I like the home and back buttons. Sometimes it is hard to get them to show up at the bottom of the screen. In some apps it takes a few times to get the back button to work at all. Great phone though.

    Let me start out by saying that I've had every previous model 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.

    Once again Samsung slams a home run with this flagship phone. From the super-fast chipset, to the extended battery time, to the fast wireless charging, water and dust proof and stellar Gorilla Glass 3 (almost unbreakable screen) that has a Super OLED Display. Camera picture quality is the best out there and easily out shines my old Apple 7 phone. Even with the low-light shots ! I can't say enough good about this phone.

    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.
