Samsung Galaxy S8

I'm very happy I took the leap and bought the Samsung Galaxy S8! I had wanted the S8+, but now that I have the S8 I'm very happy with it. The screen is 5.8", which is big enough, but there are no bezels so the actual size of the overall phone is not huge. Makes it easier to put in my pocket and hold in one hand while typing. And as far as the 64 GB of storage, I'm not worried about it because it has an expandable SD card slot, so I can expand my storage another 256 GB! I was excited about the fingerprint scanner, but I actually use the bio-metric iris scanner. Once registered, all I have to do is look at the phone and it unlocks, and yes, it works every time and is super fast. It doesn't matter if it is sunny, or in my room at night in the dark, it works! Touch Wiz has been updated to something called "Samsung Experience" which is nice. The S8 updated itself right out of the box. Running Android 7.0 Nougat which is nice! The headphones that come with the phone seem very premium. I can't say enough about the rear camera. I also owned a phone with dual 13 mp rear facing cameras, that can't take a picture anywhere near as beautiful as the S8. The sensors and software that Samsung uses for their cameras' can't be beat! The super AMOLED display has ruined me for life. It is so beautiful! Fast charge is nice, but the my only gripe is the battery life. With very heavy use, I get about 6 hours with 15% left. If I'm having a busy day, and not on my phone constantly, it will get me from 8 am to 10 pm with 10-15% battery left. The glass back is beautiful, and so are the curved bezel-less edges, which makes the phone slippery, and fair warning, they crack and break very easily. I personally purchased a Rhino Shield bumper guard. You can still appreciate the beauty of the phone, it is barely noticeable, with military grade protection. Rest assured, it is worth every penny!

I upgraded my older Galaxy S7 to the S8. I like the feature upgrades and additional functionalities that the S8 has added, along with the newer Andriod version that S8 supports. Battery life seems to be good. Took a little getting used to as the "Home" button is no longer a button, but a touch icon, and the figure print reader is on the back now. Before with the S7 I could unlock just by touching my thumb to the home button, but now I have to do a two-finger action. Just took a while to get the rhythm down. My only negative feedback is the S8 is FRAGILE! Almost as bad as an iPhone! It slipped from my hand and fell about 1 foot, and shattered the screen. I've dropped my S7 from 3-4 feet onto the same surface without a scratch. After doing some research, I found that the S8 has a reputation for being one of the most fragile Samsung. Don't know about the S9. I had even purchased a SlimArmour case and a StinkLight screen protector, just hadn't put it on yet as I had just had the phone a little more than 2 - 3 hours. It was $$ to repair. Overall, it's a good phone and an improvement over the S7. Get a good case and screen protector and put it on pronto to avoid additional costs.

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.

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.

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.

So the phone is great and I only have 1 complaint. After about a week of using the phone, i kept getting a "moisture alert" in the charging port. I tried everything possible to get rid of it on my own but no luck. I called Samsung and turns out the phone was still on warranty and I took it to a certified repair shop and got it replaced no charge. I was a little upset that the phone had a problem so early but it was simple to fix and the phone hasn't had an issue since!

Coming from a LG flagship phone the LG v20 which I find to be very practical and regards to features they have unique features that are actually useful. However to my surprise Samsung his matched LG in almost every way and outperforms it on a whole nother level. I am very pleased with the quality , the speed ,the camera and overall performance! I'm continuously surprised with everything that this little phone has to offer I am very grateful for this piece of tech!

This phone is amazing! I was skeptical of going back to Samsung because of all the fluff they put into their phones and have been using HTC for my last 4 phones. I don't think I will ever switch back! The screen is amazing, the battery easily lasts all day with much to spare. I also enjoy when Apple comes out with a new product that Samsung has had for generations!

I would recommend this phone to anyone! I even like where the fingerprint scanner is located on the phone, unlike other people. I feel that my information on my device is safe because I can use a strong password but use the iris scanner or fingerprint scanner to unlock my device. Overall, I LOVE my phone!!! I recommend this phone 100%

I switched over from HTC 9 to the Galaxy S8. I'm liking the S8 because it is smaller easier to carry and won't get Zapped if it gets rained on. I thought me switching over from one brand to another would be difficult. It has not been Samsung is really simple to operate. Even for us senior citizens.

It's an decent phone. I like the amount of memory it has. I can't say it's a smaller phone. It's about the same size as the Blackberry Priv it replaced. The battery life isn't as good as I expected. I'm used to using a Blackberry. I will admit this Samsung does seem faster with some apps. I still like having an actual keyboard. I don't consider a virtual keyboard an asset and I do find it to be a serious pain at times.

It's a very good phone don't get me wrong but when I turned it on this ghost figured keeps appearing in the background and it's very noticeable when you have a white background I looked it up and ita called a "Burn. Out" and the only way to fix it is to get a new screen which is annoying most definitely!!!!

Battery life is very short and the color shift and burn in is too distracting to use the phone properly. The phone also comes with a slow charger so it takes hours for it to charge and then it'll run out of charge super fast. So most of the time the phone has to be in charge. Returning this item.

Having simply an unlocked phone does not mean it's going to work for you. The phone was very nice but would not work at my home with my carrier. If it were strictly made for my carrier it probably would have been fine.

Everything works good the only issue was that the phone didn't work w my provider t-mobile the signal was really poor they found the issue was the phone : ( other than that it was good and 100%good condition
