Long battery life and fast need a case slippery in hands

I've had my Samsung Galaxy S8 for about a week and a half, and have already experienced problems with Bluetooth. It's not a problem I've seen in any reviews of the product, yet apparently it is a known problem for which Samsung has yet to provide a fix. If Bluetooth is important to you, you SHOULD NOT buy this phone until you find that Samsung has fixed the problem. Or prepare to waste a lot of your time doing tricks to coax your phone into working properly. Yes, the edge is beautiful. Yes, the display is bright and clean. Yes, it has tremendous storage space. Yes, it takes wonderful photos. Yes, it does a lot of neat stuff that I haven't really figured out yet, since I've only had the phone a short time. Yes, it is hands-down the coolest-looking phone I've ever owned. But I wish I had my old phone (Galaxy S5) back. The S8's unreliable Bluetooth is aggravating. For a few hundred dollars less, maybe I wouldn't be so aggravated. I'll happily change this review, once I'm satisfied that my Bluetooth will work. For now, I'll expand on what I said earlier: It's a lot of money to pay for a smartphone whose basic features don't function properly.

Really wanted to love this phone... The design is beautiful and the camera is beyond fantastic, but the cons outweigh the pros. 1. Microphone/speaker is absolute garbage - I don't have Bluetooth in my car and rely heavily on the quality of the speaker. Though it was good for playing music, every call I was on the person on the other end could not hear a word I said and I ended up having to use the cell handheld, not so safe. 2. Sound/Silent modality - I couldn't easily figure out how to have timer alarm go off when the phone was on silent/vibrate mode. 3. No Good Accessories - I ordered about 10 different screen protectors and cases off of Amazon from reputable companies and none seemed to work with the phone. 4. Battery life - battery was generally great, except for when using GPS, then the battery drained within a few hours. It's just not as great as I expected it to be, my disappointing purchase turned into a return (better pay a restocking fee than continue paying for an impractical phone).

I am really not an android girl i love my Apple iPhone but when i tried the Samsung it almost had me switch. If your into android phones i recommend this phone.

This phone has some great features, but if it is broken, it is worthless. After 3 other smartphones that were easy to protect with cases and screen protectors, this one was difficult. What the dealer doesn't tell you is that the edge screen is so fragile that dropping it just one time will break it. That being said, it is hard to find a case that will protect the edge. It is also hard to find a screen protector made of glass that will fit properly and give the same touch ability. They should stress that you MUST have insurance. And then you probably will have to pay a service fee. The camera is great, storage great, battery life so so. Don't count on Bixby to be reliable. It doesn't always come up when you want it to and sometimes starts talking when the phone is sitting idle. If it had a flat screen I would recommend it, but not with the edge. Never again.

The phone is fast as expected but the screen is not up to par. I bought a bi-fold type phone/screen protector. The phone is 2 weeks old and the credit card in the bi-fold slot has scratched the phone screen. Screens are not impressive and will scratch easily. You better get a screen protector or you will be sorry.

This latest Samsung Galaxy version is faster and has a brighter screen than the previous versions. It takes a little time to get used to the lack of physical Home, Back and Task Manager buttons.

This phone is a great one!!! At first there is some new features I could not figure out right away but after using it I am very impressed. The screen quality is excellent. Beautiful phone!

This is the best phone I have ever had it's great looks awesome don't hesitate buy this phone you won't regret it

I love the design and IRIS scanner works well. I have no problem using the fingerprint scanner in the back.

I upgraded to this from my Note 4. It's about the same thing but with better specs all around. I would necessarily say this is worth upgrading if you have a working phone. But if you're in need of an upgrade, this is a great choice. I'm still not 100% on board with the curved edges, but everything else is up to par.

(+) A beautiful phone all around. (-) A slippery phone that needs a tough case AND an invisishield-type screen protector. A cracked screen will cost you $300-400+ to repair, if you get the insurance you pay a $250 deductible.

I love the phone hardware, especially when compared to my LG G3 (yes, G3) that suddenly bricked itself on Black Friday. But Bixby is the most annoying piece of software I've ever, ever experienced. Now the voice recognition doesn't even work despite my wasting a good 10-15 minutes playing with it. You can't even get rid of it, and the button on the left side is the most likely place for you to press it unintentionally. It makes Clippy look like the best thing ever, and at least you could shut Clippy off!

Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo999d phone

Traded in a S7 and bought S8. S7 worked perfectly with 2017 Prius. S8 only notifies car of phone calls, but not messages or email. I intend to return it. Wish I could get my old S7 back. S8 far inferior to S7 and basically unusable for me when driving. This is a known issue on Samsung user boards.

Known fragility issues, screens and case are cracking with and without dropping and with protective cases and screen protectors. Do your research, I have always loved the Galaxy S phones but this one is different. Buyer Beware!!

Overall all I like the phone but the bluetooth connection is horrible. I have 3 devices (powerbeats2, bluetooth speaker, and my vehicle) that my S5 worked very well with. Since switching to the S8, all 3 devices now have horrible connections. The bluetooth range is horrible with my speaker and headphones when further than 5 feet from the device. When calling people from my truck, the person I am calling only hears static and I only hear complete silence on my end. The truck is a brand new 2017 and there were no connection problems between my S5 and the truck. I returned to the store and they exchanged the S8 for a new one, however the new S8 is doing all the same things. I will be returning the phone and checking out other brands.

Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Best Buy promotes the coral blue and with the case but it wasn't available in the store and they don't compensate in any way. It took two hours to buy this phone and transfer data from old phone. The guy was new and was getting no help from the other workers milling around. As far as the phone..not everything auto rotates. Messenger doesn't have the pinch feature to increase font size. Finding what your looking for in settings is frustrating.
