    I had a Samsung Galaxy S6 for 3 years and I thought it was time to upgrade. I looked at many phones and fell in love with the Galaxy S8. The pictures look superb and it is faster.

    Definitely an upgrade to my s6 edge in display, memory, and processor. Evidently noticed right away. Beautiful display, very responsive to touch. Still have to setup Bixby but so far, so good.

    Love the phone! Best phone out right now. Only phone with 4k capabilities and it's infinity screen is great. I suggest getting a case to insure your purchase being that the back will break easy.

    My colleagues who are mostly iPhone fans had to admin that Galaxy 8 is a better looking phone than iPhone now. I am very impressed with the quality of cameras. I also like the "edge" features.

    It's a fast, responsive device. It looks and feels sleek and is quite thin and light. I wish the battery was replaceable. It's also a bit slippery. I wish the back was somewhat textured. Know that it uses USB-C connector, so I ended up also getting a few new cables to replace my SUB mini cables.

    I had been eyeing this phone among a couple of others and the battery life, screen quality, etc finally made me decide on this phone. Best Buy beat out any others by a long shot for price.

    This phone is absolutely fantastic! The camera quality is out of this world, and the battery life is unrivaled. The orchid grey color is gorgeous. So glad I decided to go with the Galaxy S8!

    Great phone. Fits the hand just right and large enough to see. The large memory is great. Takes time to get used to if you are switching from another OS. But great phone and camera too

    The phone has the best screen currently available in any smartphones in the market. Camera is excellent and takes good pictures even in low light. Battery life is also above average.

    I bought this phone for my wife as an upgrade to her Galaxy S6 and she claims that this phone is night and day better than her existing one. I was most excited that it is waterproof so that it can survive rainy Portland days or a brief splash from the kitchen sink. She loves that the screen size is large but the footprint is very small and she can still use it with one hand. The only small gripe that we have is where Samsung decided to put the fingerprint sensor, would have liked to see it centered on the back or hidden under the glass on the front. Overall this phone is a rock star and anyone that picks it up should not be dissapointed.

    When my Galaxy S5 started acting very sluggish, I started looking around online for reviews of newer model phones. The Samsung Galaxy line remained top in the line in regards to what my needs/wants were and I was back and forth between the S6, S7, and S8. I was not necessarily looking for the newest model, but after talking with the sales rep in the Best Buy store, it was the better deal to go with the new S8. I must say, I am extremely happy with my S8 and the buying experience. I am still finding new things that the phone does every day and the features are pretty awesome. The display is amazing, great battery life, and great phone!

    I've only had the S8 for a week but I really like it so far. I just upgraded from a S5 so it has taken me a little to get use to it with the change. Camera is much nicer!

    As a long time HTC user, I was sad to see that ATT stopped carrying them. I did a lot of research leading up to my next phone upgrade; looking into purchasing an unlocked HTC, switching to Google Pixel, or just caving and staying on my same plan and getting the Samsung Galaxy S8. I'm still learning then new tweaks between my old HTC and this new S8, but so far, so good. I purchased it online and picked it up in store. I set up and activated the phone on my own and transferred the info from my old HTC to my new S8. I'm pretty tech savvy, but it felt like even somebody less comfortable in their tech skills could easily do these steps. I am admiring the S8's camera and display, but I'm still getting used to the feel of it in my hand. I'm going to need a decent case with some good grip because it feels too tall and slick for me to hold confidently. All in all, I'm happy with my purchase!

    I had the phone for a few days and the screen was scratched accidentally. I thought the Gorilla Glass 4, or 5 would help with better scratch protection. The Bixby option still does not work well for me. The phone is solid, reliable, and easy to look at.

    I bought this phone for my 19 year old son and he loves it more than any phone he's had. And he's had lots of phones. It's very LifeProof as he is very hard on his phones! He's also a gamer and he says this phone can handle any game that he puts on it.
