    My wife has had the S8+ since it came out and we just bought our daughter one. The long battery life is awesome, they can go all day without charging it. The earphones that come with it has excellent sound quality, my wife thinks it's way better than my Beats earphones. Overall, the best phone we've ever owned, so far.

    Samsung Quality

    This is now my 4th Samsung phone. It has the quality that I have come to expect from Samsung and quality is why I am a loyal fan. Like any android, it is user friendly and easy to personalize the way you want. The cameras are great as always. The selfie camera has some fun filters comparable to Snapchat. I did opt for the s8+ versus the regular s8 because I prefer a large screen. Especially since I was upgrading from a Note 5. Overall, this is a great phone. I only have a few things I am not thrilled about. As always, there is a lot of bloatware and only some of it can be removed. You can disable, but not uninstall a lot of it. Result is that it takes up space. Luckily, unlike the Note 5, you can add an sd card to help with space issues. I am glad they listened to the customers about the sd slot being absent from the note. I get frustrated with the curved screen sometimes. If you aren't careful when swiping to another screen, you end up activating the side bar. I think they missed the mark with the fingerprint sensor. They have placed it to the left (while looking at the front of the phone) of the camera. This makes it awkward to get the placement right since your hand is at an angle while holding the phone one handed. I think a left handed person would have an even harder time with it. I rarely use it because of this. I hope they put it back on the front in the future. Lastly, Bixby. The Samsung answer to Apple's Siri. The button to activate Bixby is on the the left edge, right below the volume buttons. more often than not, I would hit Bixby every time I pulled my phone out of my pocket or tried to adjust the volume. Before I threw the phone in frustration, I googled and found a way to deactivate the button so now when I hit it, it doesn't do anything. I advise doing that if you don't plan on using Bixby. If you do want to use it....and I admit that it does have some cool features...I guess you will just have to work around the unintentional opening of it. All.The.Time. All in all, I still love the phone in spite of the few issues I have with it.

    It's a great device. First off I'm a heavy Bluetooth user with a gear s3, car audio and laptops all connected throughout the day. I can go a whole week day on a single charge. Two whole days on the weekend. The camera is great, not awe inspiring but close enough. Processing speeds are impressive, multiple apps running with little to no lag. Android 7.0 is preloaded. S8+ size and only coming with a curved screen was a concern for me.I have a s7 edge as a secondary and I'm not a fan of it. The edge is useless if you have big hands. I should have tried it out in the store longer. The edge on the S8+ works great and it's functional. Only complaint is usb type c and only coming with one adapter. But that's a cheap easy fix. Overall the best galaxy I have ever had. You did ok Samsung

    My first Galaxy was the S2 and I've been upgrading ever since. The S8+ has a nice screen, I like the curve that allows the phone to sit in my hand better. Camera is awesome too! The Bixby is a nice new feature too!

    I'm coming to this phone from a Galaxy S6. Even after having replaced the battery on my old phone, I couldn't go a full day without having to charge it. However, the S9+ not only gets me through the day but usually has 40% or more battery left when I go to sleep. The phone is comfortable in hand and surprisingly easy to use single-handed (given it's a + size), The display is very nice. Great call quality. Great performance.

    By far one the best phones I've ever owned. Long battery life, plenty of storage and the camera is so amazing. I would definitely recommend this phone to anybody. Screen size is great and unlike my last phone, the key board for me is large enough I rarely hit the key next to what I'm attemting

    Great Phone - Some drawbacks

    This is the first time that I have moved into a Android phone from the Apple world. I bought it to sync with the Gear 360 camera's etc, which it does quite well. I love the camera, extra storage (SD), and the infinity screen is pretty cool. The drawbacks: The "always on" screen does not show a text message preview when a text arrives. This may be a new android user not knowing how to make that happen, but it is certainly not intuitive. This means you have to unlock your phone to see texts, rather than a cursory glance to measure importance. The early reviews were correct that the fingerprint reader's location (Next tot he camera) is not a sure shot and I have gotten my fingerprints all over the camera lens more than a few times. I will end by saying that this phone is beautiful, feels good in the hand and in the pocket (size), it delivers on all of the promises. Paired with the new Gear VR is a huge leap forward from the Galaxy S7 with the original Gear VR.

    The only reason I purchased the 8 is because I cracked the upper part of my screen on my 7 Edge and they wanted too much to repair it. However the 8 definitely did not disappoint. I went with the Plus since it was just slightly larger than the 7. I love it! More memory is great. The only con is it’s super slippery so a case is a must. Oh and Bixby not being quite ready for use yet.

    Great phone. Beautiful design, fast processor, great efficiency tools. Camera is pretty good but disappointed there was no dual-camera. Only complaint. Battery life is pretty good and you can manage consumption to last as long as you need it to.

    I've had my S8+ for 10 days now. I'm still finding out and exploring all of the features it has. The 64Gb storage is a real plus and the ability to add an SD card is sweet. The snapdragon processor is one of the fastest I've ever seen. I can open any app in just milliseconds. The screen is top notch. It makes for very viewing. TBH, I don't game with my phone or watch entire movies on it. I use it mainly for light research, FB, Twitter & checking bank balances and so forth. I do use the music player and the OEM headphones are very, very good. One last but very important note. The staff at Best Buy in Midwest City, OK were fantastic. I always enjoy shopping or just browsing at Best Buy.
