    Upgraded my moms Samsung Galaxy J5 to this and she loves it. We didn’t opt for the newest S9 but no regrets. If you have an older device and don’t want to spend ~$1,000, save a few hundred bucks and get this. Easy to transfer data from old phone to this. Better in every aspect!

    This smartphone reviewed good as water proof when you dropped it in water and be waterproof on few minutes. The camera is amazing, the processor speed is awesome, expandable memory. Speed is wonderful, very nice cellphone and as a mini smart computer. Handy with wonderful features. I haven't utilized yet the full essentials but looking forward in exploiting it.

    Brought this phone for my younger cousin. He loves the large display and combined with a great processor / RAM / memory, makes this a great phone for games and video viewing experience. Does what a phone should do very well and more. Still recommend it in 2019.

    By far the best phone of 2017 so far. Absolutely gorgeous, and flies through anything you throw at it! Took abit to adjust from 100% stock Android to the Sammy skin but it was worth it. First phone of n years that I am sure I won't feel the need to upgrade in a year. Did I mention it is sexy!

    Been a galaxy user for the past 6 years and this is the best galaxy ever. Infinity screen looks awesome, phone feels great in your hand, even though the fingerprint reader is in the back it actually doesn't feel awkward. Rear facing camera is better than any other phone that i have ever seen.

    After using this phone for the past 6 months I've gotten use to it. I switched from my iPhone and have been quite happy with it. The headphones that come with this phone are wonderful quality! Only downside...can't find where to purchase additional headphones that are the same!! And another issue is that I can't get my movies and music transferred from my old iPhone :( I've been so disappointed. I'm still looking for a solution for it.

    This phone is packed with options, is very responsive, and the speaker sounds loud and clear. I am using it now with t-mobile. The phone set up was fast and easy once the sim card was inserted. Phone is fun to use, is factory unlocked, and I could use it with any carrier - GSM or CDMA types.

    Great phone, packed chock full of features and won many deserved awards from all over the place. Can be slippery if not encased because of the glass on the front and back Totally love this phone. wish it came with >4GB memory and larger storage option otherwise, worth every penny

    I'm a long time iPhone user but I'm completely in love with this phone. I'm not brand loyal to anyone, even now, but I'm hopelessly addicted to having the newest stuff and despite lacking a two camera setup which I sorely miss from my LG G5, everything else about this phone is top notch.

    This is probably the best phone in the market for the moment. Samsung removed the buttons completely and you can use the screen itself for unlocking the phone with finger print. I have seen many complaints regarding that but it worked for me. I didn't tested with wet fingers yet though.

    I bought this phone thinking I would avoid the bloatware usually put on phones by the carrier but didn't realize I would have to forgo some applications that I was used to having such as visual voicemail, wifi calling, it also didn't connect to my network extender. I ended up returning it and getting a carrier specific model, other than that I love the phone.

    I had been on a Motorola trend for a number of years now, since a Samsung phone I had was damaged, and I sought out a something more durable...but I missed the Samsung's unique features. Well, I could not have made a better choice with my new S8+. I'm home again!

    Phone works great. The GPS receiver in this phone continues to amaze me. I can pick up the GPS satellites from the middle seat of an airplane. Phone sensitivity is really good and I get reception where an older phone could make a cell connection. I am very happy with this phone.
