I pre ordered this phone due to best buy / samsung employee telling me about the 99 dollar full immersive package. So I went to best buy multiple times to play with the S8 which is 30+ mins away mind you and than eventually returned the Lg g6 ( which was actually a great phone 5 hrs sot fantastic screen and camera) . My thinking was that finally Samsung and best buy got it together to make things right over the note 7 / s7e issues. I actually had issues with multiple S7E. Well it turned out that package was already sold out before best buy even had the phones. I was so excited until I paid for the phone and than after the phone was mine the best buy employee said that package was out. So I was duped from the get go from best buy and samsung, thinking that I was going to get this deal . Shame on them to drive pre orders up and trick the consumers. So onto the phone.. Phone is literally the same as s7e in a skinnier more awkward frame and smaller battery. The camera is actually the same piece of hardware, finger print scanner is still slow compared to other manufacturers and in a weird spot, already got finger prints all over the camera. As matter of fact besides looks and all the samsung programs I wont actually use since they waste battery life the LG G6 is a much better buy and overall phone. How ever the audio output is def better then the S7E out of the jack, and I hear the Bluetooth is better too.

I dropped my s8 while pulling it out of my pocket, screen shattered so bad it is not usable. Two repair shops quoted $330 for screen replacement plus a two week wait. (i guess samsung cant get enough screens shipped out fast enough) I only had the phone for 34 days. The interweb is full of s8 owners who have had the same problem. If you dont mind the extra $330 a month, it is a fantastic phone.

I have had this since the end of February and I still wish I had not upgraded. My 6+ Edge was better. I was able to get better pictures with it. The invisible buttons are a huge headache to deal with and the stupid Bixby button is a menace. Maybe I am just too old (44) to appreciate change but I feel like it was a downgrade for me. I don't think the screen size has anything to do with it. The keyboard dictionary suggestions are ridiculous too. It kept changing out to our for no reason the other day. I should have just stuck with my other phone even though the battery was starting to have to be charged often.

Love the phone, but don't drop it. We were waiting for the case to come in the mail and my wife dropped it from a table on the corner and broke the screen under the screen protector...not impressed with durability at all.

curved display requires thick screensaver, losing touchscreen sensitivity. makes one-handed operation nearly impossible, multiple errors and misplaced calls
