Samsung Galaxy S8

Great Phone!

After having so many problems with LG phones, I decided to switch brands and find a new provider. This unlocked phone can work on any network. I just took mine to straight talk and got the bring your own phone activation kit, and was able to choose between any of the networks to set up my service. It works flawlessly so far! It comes with the necessary pieces to transfer photos, videos, contacts, emails, and more from your old device. It also came with a pair of headphones. I paired it with a ring case (a case with a built in rotating ring to relieve weight from the pinky) and it's the perfect fit for my small hands. The phone itself is amazing and has worked flawlessly so far. It has blue light filtering, one-handed mode, video enhancer, multi-window and more. The camera is stunning and it comes with tons of filter and stickers! I was able to re-download all of my old apps lightening fast on this new phone. After setting up the phone, downloading 30+ apps, using some apps, and tweaking the phone settings, I still have over half of the battery left. I would say this is the best phone purchase I have ever made, well worth the money.

Awesome BEST Phone!!!

Really love this new phone! It's super packed with so many features. I had a Note 3 & 4 but I didnt take notes or use the stylus that much so I went with the S8 instead of the Note 8. Both the S8+ and Note 8 are way too long a phone for me. It would land up slipping out of my pocket and crashing on the floor or get snagged on something. I like the thin narrow size of this new S8 overall. It fits in my pocket better than any phone I've ever had. The face of it is just so beautiful and ultra tech in design. I wouldn't be happier with any other phone out there, even the new iphone X. I've had many iphones but I'm so hooked on this new S8 that I just can't go back to iphones! Besides, iphones have gotten way to expensive for features that most Android phones already had years ago.

Nice phone for casual user

My husband bought the Galaxy S8 a couple weeks ago. This is a good phone. The display quality is nice. The phone is not very wide, so my husband gave it to me and bought the Galaxy note 8 which he really likes when he is texting. For me the width is not an issue while texting because I prefer smaller phones. The speaker is also noticably loud and clear. I recommend switching off the always on display if you don't need it because I think it drains the battery much faster and it seems unnecessary in my opinion. I don't use my phone for much other than phone calls, texting, watching YouTube, and browsing the internet.

Amazing phone, keep insurance available

My first ever expensive phone and what I loved about it was the insurance I was able to purchase with it cuz that ALOT of money to put out on a device and accidents happen so to be able to purchase a piece of mind for insurance is what made me choose to go ahead with my purchase of this phone, honestly if the square trade 2 year protection plan wasn't an option I would NOT of purchased the Samsung Galaxy s8 or recommend anyone else purchasing it! Please keep insurance Available and I will definitely recommend this! This phone is absolutely amazing and the technology capable with it blows my mind!

Worth it for the camera alone

I knew I wanted the S8 and it didn't disappoint. I love the new camera...I mean LOVE. It's amazing. As a graphic designer, I rarely need to use our actual camera for quick shots and portfolio additions any more. Great size, light weight. I use a wireless charger so it charges overnight with no worries of it turning off throughout the day. I use my phone all the time and still have 20-30% batterylife in the evenings. Con: Glass screen...not a big issue but if you want to use a case, you will have a hard time finding protective screen glass that fits with a case.

Worth its current price in 2020, but the updates were a step down.

The S8 performs well. That being said, when I was shopping for phones, what attracted me to this model was many cool features that were touted in many review videos. But, those videos were made when the device was new in 2017. Since then, the updates they did to it made it less cool! I was expecting to find several customization settings that no longer exist. It seems like the newest applied updates took away some of its best assets, rather than improved them or left them alone. But like I said, it performs well, considering my last phone was an S5!

Only phone out now that doesn't look like an iPhone clone

Most other android phones look exactly like iPhones. The curved screen( and other things like camera placement)makes the s8 stand out. The finger print sensor has been the most useful new feature to me. Coming from a wider lg g3 it feels slightly small. It could just be I got use to reaching my thumb to get to the other side of the lg. If you plan on getting the s8 make sure to go to the store and hold it in your hand and compare it to the s8+. Find out which size is best for you before buying.

Excellent phone with many features

I have found only one annoying feature with this phone: it is too easy to turn on Bixby, the helpful but annoying concierge, whether you want him/her or not. This is due to the placement of the button to turn Bixby on where you place your thumb if you hold the phone in your left hand. Additionally, I miss having the on/off button on the back of the phone, as on my old LG, where it was very easy to reach. But a good display and a fast response in all modes of use.

Why is simple to use a lost concept?

NOT a fan of the long skinny screen shape. I prefer tools that I can tell what I want it to do, not ones that spy on me and tell me what it wants me to see. Phones continue to add capabilities that I neither want or will ever use. I am sorry to say this s8 does just what it is designed to do, whether I want it to or not.

meh

Brixby (a 'feature' on the phone) is annoying and being forced to make a Samsung account to disable it is even worse. Also, the screen is cheaper tempered glass, you absolutely need a case which ruins is slim size.

Not good features

Too difficult to use. Inconvenient incoming outgoing calls. No identity. Only numbers show. Not able to personalize ring tones. Prefer older Samsung models. Cannot use this phone. Uncomfortable.
