Samsung Galaxy S8+ User Reviews

This phone is excellent. Far superior to the s8. I had this phone on moderate power saving mode and took it on holiday for three days. When I came back to the UK, it had five percent left, and finally died just as I got home.

This was after using it for WhatsApp, maps, internet browsing, taking photos and videos.

Immensely powerful phone, games run smooth and the screen is outstanding.

The worst phone I've ever had in the sense that dropping it once on the floor caused some weird crack _through_ the ultra hyper gorilla glass, that long press only works on upper part of the screen...

got my S8plus the day after release. easily my favorite Samsung to date, and I loved the Note 4 and the S7edge. my only issue with the phone is the fact that premium seems to equal fragile. gorilla glass is not as tough as it sounds, at least not for drops and such. it would be best to invest in a skin for the back, and a decent minimalistic case that will work with the skin. picking this phone up off a desk or table in a hurry is damn near impossible, and will result in the aforementioned drop here and there. the battery is decent for most normal everyday use, and that infinity display is amazing. the camera is top notch, it's hard to take a bad quality photo. of course, the biggest public gripe is the placement of the fingerprint scanner, and I was one of those as well. however, muscle memory has kicked in, and I don't think I ever touch the camera anymore after about the first two weeks. I can do it right or left handed, though I am a lefty. facial recognition works most of the time, but it can be picky at times, then I quickly trigger the fingerprint scanner. overall, this phone is another step in the right direction for Samsung, and it looks like the Note 8 has addressed some of the issues that nag at this phone. I could see myself waiting for the S10, bypassing the S9plus next year.

Perfect mobile but......
The only cons is the battery...poor
Every things work perfect: brighthnis.call.internet.
Back camera goog but the front camera poor image
Sooo the result: if u want mobile for only battery choose A7 2017 and if u want perfect designe and perfect display choose s8+

Good phone ruined by the fact it's fragile and broke easily. Some stuttering in software, great screen and night photography. Beautiful. But I can't recommend it as it broke and the screen is flaking. It should be impossible to break when in a case and fell only 30 centimetres.

At first sight the s8 seems the perfect smartphone, but with the diary use I see fault some things , but mainly the fragility of back in glass.Still I using superprotective cover I feel that smartphone dropping I lost my money. Just I hope Sammy change the material used in the cover of the top smartphones.

I had pre-ordered it and this has worked so flawlessly and point on. I can't believe how amazing my photos and videos look since I travel a lot. I do almost everything on this phone. Although it's a beautiful , it's also a delicate cellphone so purcashing premium care should is highly recommended.

Finally a Samsung phone that has dragged me away from the Google Pixel XL. This phone (especially the Exynos variant), is the most fluid and optimized Android phone I have ever used.

And that screen? Wow.

If you are looking for the best smartphone in design+display+camera, then your choice is definitely the S8! No smartphone can match the S8 in this triple combination. The only disadvantage is the non practical position of the fingerprint scanner. The Bixby button can be remapped or disabled via two apps in playstore.

best samsung phone in the world right now.one of the best smartphone of 2017.world best display , one of the best camera,great build quality,good battery life,6.2 inch infinity display,water and dust resistence

I had the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge upgraded to the Samsung Galaxy S8 plus I love the phone there's definitely a step up it does everything I want to and it looks good. I have no complaints there really are no cons to have in this phone

I like the phone. Somethimes it gets hot in my pocket without a reason. I dont really like bixby, maybe if it was only software based then it would be ok but a button is really useless especialy when the voice part isn't working and I press accidentaly a lot. Those are its only flaws

After my Galaxy S7 Edge developed the all-too-common "pink line of death", I started to let my eye wander for new Android smartphones. We've alternated between LGs and Samsungs, but tend to keep coming back to Samsung. A friend of mine purchased a Galaxy S8 and loved it, so I decided to head to my local, friendly Verizon store to check out -- and especially HOLD -- an S8+.

I have fairly large hands (10" span), so large phones aren't a problem, but I didn't want to be walking around with a tablet in my pocket. As it turns out (easily confirmed on Phone Arena), the *overall* size of the GS8+ isn't much larger than my old GS7 Edge, while the viewable screen is incredibly large. There's been a lot of hype about the "infinity edge" marketing line, but until you see a GS8 or GS8+ play a widescreen 2.35:1 Netflix movie, you can't fully appreciate the almost edgeless display.

The speed and OLED contrast/color are as expected (excellent), but what my wife (owner of a GS8) and I are most impressed about is the BATTERY LIFE. After 16+ hard hours of usage, we're barely below 50% most days. And this thing *loves* the Samsung wireless charger. Less than two hours of wireless charge and the phone's back up to 100%. It's very difficult to believe that this has the same size battery as the GS7 Edge, but seems to last *twice* as long.

In summary, multiple thumbs up! I'm completely happy with my purchase and encourage anyone else looking for a new phone to audition the GS8 or GS8+.

My wife upgraded to the 8+ the other day. We purchased straight from Verizon. When she encountered an issue with connecting to Bixby and registering on the Samsung site, Verizon suggested we visit the Samsung desk at Best Buy. While they assisted us it was brought to our attention that BB had the same phone for $200 less. Obviously we returned the 1st phone to Verizon and purchased a 2nd from BB. However, now my wife feels there are certain features/settings/options that she can not find or select that were available with the Verizon version. The only variation I saw noted here dealt with Battery life. Anybody have any intel on specific variations?

I came from an iPhone 7 Plus to this phone, and it's by far the best Android device I've ever owned. From the infinity display to the new Samsung Experience UI, the Galaxy S8+ proved itself to be a real game changer. The enhanced camera on this year's model failed to disappoint, which is a key feature I already expected. Battery life is definitely an improvement over the S7 Edge, especially since I keep the Always-On Display off at all times. I'm not much of a gamer by any means, so speeds on the device when doing daily tasks such as emailing and scrolling through my social media were not an issue. The expandable memory on the S8+ was a huge pull factor, since I'm a huge media hog when it comes to music and photos. I would definitely recommend this device to anyone who's looking for an android device with top notch features and a large display!

The Infinity screen is the main wow factor - I can't see any phone is beauty now except this S8+ and G6.

The camera is finally in great output and no over sharpening issue or any fake color render.

Build quality is outstanding solid!

The new UI is clean and even far nicer than original stock.

Very happy ditch the iPhone 7 Plus and back to android now. :)

Swapped from an iPhone 7 Plus to the S8 Plus. Very happy with the overall device, except the fingerprint scanner. It is in the worst location possible for a right handed user. I find myself having to physically look at the back to make sure my finger hits the right spot. The Iris scanner and Face recognition has yet to work consistently. I have dropped 2 calls since having this phone, where I had never dropped a call before, iPhone 7 plus, Galaxy S7 Edge, Mate 9, Honor 8, all had perfect reception. This is all in the same location, so I would expect it to have just as good as reception.

Battery life is good, screen is absolutely awesome! The edges are much less dramatic than the S7 Edge, more in line with the Note 7 edges. It feels like a premium device, build quality is nice. Typical touchwiz sluggishness. I find myself hitting the period key when trying to hit the space bar, this is not the only phone that I do that on though, but it is still frustrating.
