When the S8 models were released in the States I felt a bit dejected because this market was limited to black, silver, and orchid Grey colors despite knowing that other colors that were popular here were being sold over seas. I had purchased three coral blue beauty in the Note7 and S7 Edge editions and knew that buying the S8+ in any other color would leave me wanting for more, specifically in a shade of blue. There's something about Samsung's shade of blue, when applied to their stellar designed smart phones that's pure magic. At initial release I purchased an orchid grey S8+, and once the coral blue model was announced for the States I made plans to get this amazing phone in the shade I truly wanted, which I did yesterday Sunday, July 23rd. I also ordered Samsung's blue protective case, which arrived a day after I purchased my phone. I haven't been to stop admiring the beauty of this phone, Its definitely one of the few mobile phones thatI can see myself holding on to as a collector's item (I simply adore well designed and functioning, cutting edge tech). Having owned they orchid S8+ meant that I was familiar with all the features packed into the S8 series phones. Even still it's a joy to reintroduce myself to these features that still amaze me. The iris scanner has to be one of my favorite biometric tools for securing my phone. It's a great option to have when you may be unable to scan your finger print, or input a pin number. The multiple ways to unlock the S8 is very impressive, and technologywise goes far beyond any other smart phone on the market today. It's great that Samsung is offering theS8 carrier unlocked, which frees consumers from being tethered to one carrier, something extremely important in the US, where the customer service you get can be quite bad from all 4 to 5 of the major carriers. It's a good feeling to know that you aren't obligated to remain with a company that provides poor service. Additionally, Samsung's unlocked phones are sold free of the extra, unnecessary applications that each carrier adds to phones locked on their network.
That performance of the S8 phones is matched only by their cutting edge design. You won't find an Android phone that comes close to the high quality performance, and pioneering design of Samsung's flagship embassy phones. The only suggestion I have for current or future owners of Samsung Galaxy phones is to take care of your phone. They are true investments that maintain a high percentage of their original value/price, for years after your initial purchase.
