Customers are saying

Customers find value in the Galaxy S8 64GB's camera quality, battery life, and screen size, with many praising its ease of use and sleek design. Positive feedback also highlights the phone's ample storage and memory. However, some users expressed dissatisfaction with the absence of a physical home button and the placement of the Bixby button. The overall sentiment suggests a highly positive customer experience despite a minor design-related concern.

    I definitely recommend buying this phone but I definitely recommend that you do not get through Sprint if you live in Washington because the service coverage is horrible

    Wish I could review phone but can't. Purchased online via Best Buy, received phone and could not activate. According to Sprint IMEI traced to another customer. Phone was sold as new not preowned or refurbished. Plus serial number didn't match what was on box. Upsetting situation all the way around. Ended up just getting an IPhone.

    I purchased this product online when I came into the store to pick it up they informed me that they could not activate it in store because I pre ordered online. When I got the phone home and opened the box the screen was distorted. I was told by Best Buy support that even though I bought online I had to return in store. It was a terrible experience.

    This phone only keeps a charge for a maximum of 3-4 hours and it charges very slowly. I am very unsatisfied with this phone. And the store will not give me a new phone. I wouldn't recommend

    Bought two of these and they both had screen issues. After 10 months one had LCD burn in on the green and the one wouldn't even show the screen anymore.

    While feature rich, this phone drops calls all the time, makes random stops in the middle of emails, and has to be restarted about every 3 days.

    Phone activated but never got any cell service; had to return. Likely just a lemon, as I love Samsung phones and did purchase another.

    Switched from an iPhone 6s and not going back

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I was skeptical at first switching to android after having only used iPhones since the iphone 4s. I took the plunge and got the galaxy s8 and I am glad I did, you can do so much more with android than with IOS. I was able to transfer my contacts, pictures, calendar, alarms, music and other stuff super easy from the iPhone 6s to the galaxy s8 using a cable that you hook up from the iphone directly to the s8. Battery life is very good, got through a whole day of work with moderate phone use and made it back home with almost 80%. I definitely recommend this phone, my only nitpick with this phone is how delicate the back glass is, I have seen drop tests and you definitely want a protective case even if you have never dropped a phone in your life. Better safe than sorry.

    I really like this phone. In fact, I'm still using it to this day. However, unfortunately I am looking for a newer phone due to this one being over over 6 yrs old. As with any phone overtime, this one is starting to overheat with too much use.

    The display is phenomenal. Great new features to use and the battery seems to hold up extremely well! The only downside is the switch to USB-C charger type. Plus side, there is an adaptor to go from Micro-USB to the new Type C.
