[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] only had this phone for 2 hours and only one word to sum it up, WOW!. So far this phone is more then I thought I would get. easy to set up. If it only continues to get better as I learn to use it with my VR I will be more then happy with this phone.

The color of the phone I received is charcoal gray, not "orchid" gray like the picture. Because my previous phone was an iPhone, I am still in the process of transferring data from the old phone. I DO like the phone. The sound is amazing, the photos are really sharp! The features are easy to use.

I really love this phone and it features.The only problem is 2 months after the warranty expired the battery died. There was a leakage problem. I paid almost $800 for this phone. I expect it to last more than a year. I have a Galaxy 5 that I still use.

Did quite a bit of research on the net and youTube before settling on it, bought it, spent 20+ hours setting it up, and, realized that if you take time to know it, it's simply awesome. The display is terrific, even covered with a good screen protector (I use Illumi Aquashield), I set a picture of my kids as wallpaper and it seems like it's etched on ceramic, the curved screen makes the picture a piece of art. Apps load instantly, and the SD cart allowed me to add 128GB to the standard 64GB for cheap. Some reviewers don't like the fingerprint on the rear, but a secret: with a good case like a Spigen, it is so easy to feel the opening for the lens, you just put your finger to one side of the opening and unlock your phone instantly - no risk of smudging the camera lens. I agree that without a case, it was much harder, but I would never use such an expensive phone without a case - would you? The Spigen herringbone looks great, feels great. Customizing the theme, the wallpaper, the lock screen, the "always on" screen are all very easy, and organizing app icons is a charm. Just longpress and either pick from the context menu or drag where you want it; dragging an icon on top of another one automatically creates a group you can name. So I now have ONE app screen with a group for each thing, e.g Communications, Office, Finance, Shopping, Travel etc... And it charges so fast with a fast charge wireless charger, and the battery lasts plenty for a full day of work (I do 5:00AM to 6:00PM) and an evening of playing with it. I'm still in love after 1.5 week of ownership.

I love the phone but there are some glitches. When I go to put in my pattern to unlock the phone, it unlocks before I'm done. I keep getting a pop up that says DQA stopped working (whatever that is). Few other things but over all it's a great phone.

I love Samsung...but I have had this phone for about 2 weeks and I have hung up or muted more people than I have since I have had a phone...your cheek hits it right in the wrong place.. And when I put someone on speaker to do something else the phone will go crazy and not let me get back to my phone screen..so little things that had I known I probably would have picked a different phone

It took me 4 days to scratch the screen on this thing. I traded in a 2 year old S5 with pristine glass. I think the curvature just exposes it and makes it easy to scratch. It's very hard to find a case with a built in screen protector for it, and I hate stick on protectors. The curved glass has no utility; I guess it's supposed to be pretty. If you value form over function, it's your money, I guess. I'd rather have a package that isn't as flimsy as a raw egg. I have no complaints about how it works.

Good phone, zooms right along, fast charging. But hard to open phone most the times, the hold after 2 taps doesn't work most times. But clicking side button wakes it up. anoying! Unable to hear while on phone volume doesn't work, must put all calls on speeker

I had to buy this as an emergency when my 20 month iphone 6s died, and Apple would not fix it (they recommended upgrading). The ATT I stopped in ONLY had the S8 in stock, they were out of all my other alternatives (didn't want another iphone). The hardware is very good, and Android was easy to switch, but the Samsung SW is terrible. Voice is awful through my headset (never an issue with the 6S). Getting used to the size. Will keep it for as long as possible - my S3 last over 4 years. Samsung has got to work on their SW though.

The Samsung S8 is an awesome phone! It is sleek, easy to use and has loads of features! it also has a ton of space for pictures, music, documents, etc. I have always had Samsung products and have not had a problem with not one product. Samsung does stand behind their product.I will highly recommend!
