    I love how easily customizable this phone is. The theme shop has cute themes and icons. The duel edge design looks nice, and Samsungs are really easy to use. Screenshot gestures and camera gestures are a bonus.

    What a great phone! Beautiful screen, incredible pictures, and lots of memory. You can add up to a 256 GB card if you want to. Sleek design with Edge Lighting. The phone is slick, literally. Get a protective cover to help keep you from dropping it!

    We purchased the galaxy S8 from Clarence and he was extremely helpful and fast. We saved $ because of the promotion that Best Buy was having and we absolutely love the phone! Will always go to Best Buy for our cell phones!

    My last phone was the Galaxy S5 & now the S8. I must say they didn't disappoint again. The design is stunning. Samsung must have spent a lot of time & thought into the engineering of this phone. It has a large screen it feels great. It seems to be the best phone out on the market. Very fast phone, camera is top of the line, AKG headphones have excellent sound, transferring files from the old phone to the S8 was simple. This phone is definitely the best out right now.

    Nice phone for the money. I'm a basic smartphone user, but setup & transferring of info, docs, pictures & apps from old phone to this one was made super easy & in just a few quick clicks!!!...even for myself. Love the clarity & detail of the front/back cameras. Has a ton of in-device storage. Phone has WAY more features, bells & whistles than I'll ever need or learn to use, but its very user-friendly to navigate. Love the edge to edge screen.

    Great phone that is compact yet has a large screen with great clarity. Fast processor that does not lag when multi tasking. Great camera with professional effects. Screen clarity is unmatched by other phones on the market. Only down side is that the Bixby button takes getting used to. Can be easy to hit with intending to change the volume setting. This is not a feature I use and would be nice if this button could be re-purposed.

    Besides the Bixby button, I love this phone. The Bixby button could be cool if it actually worked like Siri. But overall the phones battery, screen, and camera are amazing.

    If you will excuse the cliche, this Samsung's latest and greatest. There is too much to say about this in a short review, but here are some highlights. Pros: -Great camera with pro mode for photographers like me and other great modes like hyperlapse (haven't tried it yet) -Very fast phone. Apps launch quickly. -Lots of storage space at 64GB. -Gorgeous screen. I am not sure the curved part is an advantage, but this AMOLED makes things look amazing. -Great battery life and fast charging works great with the included charger. -Came with a great deal on the Gear 360 if purchased about the same time. I have wanted a 360 camera for a while. Cons -The curved screen can make it a challenge to touch the edges of the screen and makes it possibly more vulnerable to drops. -The longer shape makes it easier for it to fall out of your shirt pocket and is non-standard. I'm not sure why they chose this ratio. -No removable battery for when you are away from a charger for long periods of time. I upgraded from a Galaxy S4. Overall, I am very happy with the S8 and highly recommend it.

    This is my first galaxy after being an apple fanboy for years. This is pretty much the perfect phone. It feels compact for having such a big screen. The camera is great and it has a good battery.

    Used to have S7 which always heats up and have to remove the case and charge it. Because of that cannot take the phones when charged. Have to use head phones. But S8 doesn't heat up. It has a great camera and I loved it.

    Samsung Galaxy S8

    The Samsung Galaxy S8 is the most beautiful phone in the world and the best phone, hands down. It's gorgeous just to look at, it's much lighter than any smartphone I have ever had even though it is longer and more narrower than the S6 which was a good phone but does not compete with the S8. The camera is great taking awesome photos and videos. The battery life is very very long. I use my phone all the time and do not have to charge my battery for 2 days. Highly recommended to everyone.

    The up side, battery life is greatly improved. Downside, the functions are different than my last Samsung. The call quality is very good, the wifi is not as good as my last one. I love the "wrap around" screen, but it gets dirty very quickly. The camera if phenomenal, but I havent figured out how to change from selfie mode when going live on social media. The live format cuts in and out, so there is a lot of missing footage. I like the function of putting the phone on vibrate but you cannot truly silence the phone with the same button as before. You have to go into setting to turn off vibrate and ringtones. My old S-4 would allow you to truly silence using the volume button.

    I wrote a review of the S8+, I bought both... I prefer the size of S8 over the plus. Excellent camera, screen, better life, everything. Did I mention the screen? There is nothing I can complain about with this device. Honestly the fingerprint sensor is way better than what a lot of people are saying in reviews, but I also have larger hands. If you're not tht kind of person who has to choose between a phone and putting food on your table, buy this.

    I love how Samsung found a middle ground with the edge display. It's comfortable to hold without feeling like you're going to drop it like the s7 edge. The infinity screen is gorgeous! Easily the best screen on the market. Love pro mode on the camera for manual settings. Only gripe. I don't use Bixby so having an entire button devoted to it is super annoying. Wish I could program the button to open whatever I wanted. Still 5 star quality.
