    Awesome phone

    So, I waited forever to upgrade my phone (from an S5). That phone ended up being so glitchy...(my second one) I couldn't stand it any longer. This phone is much more advanced than the S5, it'll probably take me a while to figure out it's full potential. Also, I was very used to width of the S5. The S8 is considerably slimmer. I just have to let you know, get a protective case. Even if you donr like or prefer having a phone case, get one.Even the back of this phone is made of glass (not gorilla glass). I was sad to have dropped it not even a week of getting the phone. I cracked the back a little bit. I have it in a case now, so you can't see it. Aside from that, its a beautiful phone, light, sleek and dare I say sexy.

    Decided on the S8 when my S5 was lost. Love the features of this phone and the ease of use. Battery life is great lasting over 2 days on a single charge. Slim design, lightweight, and clearer screen than the S5. Glad I had to get this replacement.

    The phone is clear, crisp, easy to use. Love the finger print reader. Only disappointment: When using the 'telephoto' lens feature with the camera, the photos are extremely pixelated at max zoom. This of course is an issue caused by current day cell phone camera technology in general, not only with this phone

    I purchased this phone for my husband. He was an Apple phone user. His upgrade to the Samsung 8 was a huge success. This phone is user friendly. Best Buy was able to transfer contacts and pictures. He was able to easily download his apps. It was a smooth transition from Apple to Samsung and happy he did.

    No complaints thus far! I've been using for one month without any issue. I moved from an S5 to this and I am very impressed! It's a beautiful phone, sleep looking, easy to use, and has a TON of storage space! I highly recommend this phone especially if you're still in an older Galaxy model like I was.

    I have been a fan of the Galaxy series for a while and the S8 continues that trend. Easy to use, fast, and well designed. I do regret not going with the larger Plus version just a little as the regular S8 is a bit more narrow and that has taken a little getting used to, but overall it is still a great phone.

    I upgraded from S7 edge to S8 and I immediately felt the difference in the overall size of the phone. S8 is slender but longer and that fits perfectly in my hand. Enables easy one-hand handling of the phone. Comparing to every other phone including iPhone X, this feels like the perfect phone in your hand. I didn't feel any major upgrade coming from S7 edge. I also dislike the location of the fingerprint scanner. Overall very happy with the purchase.

    I was debating between a Google Pixel 2 or the Galaxy S8, and I chose the S8 since Best Buy had a great deal on it. I'm not disappointed. I love the camera the most; the pictures are bright and clear and capture my kids' activities very nicely. A couple things I don't care for - the inability to delete all the pre-installed apps and the edge screen is easily triggered accidentally. Other than those minor things, I'm very happy with my purchase.

    This is my 3rd phone from the Galaxy line (S3 and S6 were my 1st and 2nd) and even though the first two were perfectly fine and performed well this one far out does them. It's taking me some getting used to not having an actual physical home button to get to the home screen and the default location of the Chrome shortcut button happens to be exactly where my apps button is on my S6. These aren't negatives at all. The edge seems fine although I really haven't looked at it much yet. The Bixby button/function is well placed but haven't looked at it much yet either. The Best Buy employee was great. The Samsung representative in the Best Buy store was great. There are actual official Samsung Repair Centers in select Best Buy stores...I didn't know this until AFTER I purchased my phone. So while not a negative the web site could do a better job of letting people browsing Samsung devices know that there is such an option. With that new information in mind I decided to switch my phone protection to the Geek Squad plan instead of the one offered by my carrier and hope I never need to use it but am content that I can go to a Best Buy store to take care of it. Excellent phone. Excellent customer service by both the Best Buy employee and the Samsung Representative. Excellent protection plan option. Excellent Best Buy incentive. My carrier had none except if I traded in my old phone which I didn't want to do.

    I got the phone as a Christmas gift for my grandmother. It is a really pretty color compared to the other options. The screen is very vibrant! So far my grandmother hasnt has an issue learning to use it. The only problem is the thing is so freaking slippery! You will definitely need a case.
