All Rounder on the go...

published

Purchased the Samsung Galaxy S8 to replace an old S5 model. No complaints. Great screen and processor and adequate battery life. Good for streaming movies too on the go. 64GB built in storage space was also a great improvement from previous 32GB.

Camera quality is great during the day and still good at night as long as you know the right settings. very durable and not worry too much when I would occasionally drop it by accident Apps run smoothly and battery lasts a long time.

Great reliable android phone system

published

Curvy screen can be a problem for tempered glass to stick on. Great camera with good autofocus and low image noise in low light condition. Durable built and ergonomic buttons placements.

Great phone with large screen

published

The camera quality is great and adequate for daily photos. I love the screen without edge and the size of S8 is just big enough for me to hold with one hand. The apps run on android smoothly and I have had no issues with it for last 18 months.

Expensive screen replacement

published

I have had this phone for over a year now and i am generally happy with it. I love the quality of the pictures and videos. They seem to be better than my wife's iphone x. I also like that it can fit comfortably in my pocket and i can use it with one hand. I also like using the heart rate monitor

What i dont like about it is that i seemed to have slowed down a tiny bit after updating the firmware. I will never update firmware again. I also dont like how the facial recognition does not work as well as the iphone x. I also hate the bixby botton. I dont use it and i always accidentally press it. It is very annoying. What i hate the most is the cost of replacing the cracked screen. The cost is practically the same as getting another phone.

Broke in 3 days

Dropped from a coushined seat onto a plastic surface. Cracked phone already. They say that the phones "gorilla glass 5" wouldn't crack from 160cm yet it cracks from 40cm. The phone itself works fine.

Screen is nice and big and the colours are great. I like the camera and the photo quality is good. Things run well on my phone but since the upgrades in April 2022 it's a bit glitchy with my apps

Big upgrade from note 4

published

Having gone from a note 4, this was a big change! Do miss having the stylus but is so much better in many other ways. Love the camera quality and little features that I didn't have before.

Galaxy S8 refurbished (like new)

published

Over time my mobile was all broken. Front and back. I thought about updating but my phone is still fast. Has a very good camera and is a good size for the hand. Samsung repaired my front screen, LCD panel. Back glass. All the aluminum body and sim card holder.for $340. It took 2 days. AMAZING. I have a new phone again. And saved my self lots of money.

Anyone having problems with "OK Google" voice recognition? I have not been able to get this working on my phone since I took it out of the box. There are huge numbers of people on the internet complaining about similar issues - "OK Google" not accepting your voice training, or, if it does, will only run your commands spasmodically, (if you can get it to accept the OK Google command at all, that is). Very frustrating for an Uber driver who really needs accurate voice control to keep the cops off my back while I am driving. Soft reset, app removal and reinstall have no effect.

I dont seem to have a problem. Just gave it another test run then. May depend on whether your commands are shoirt and sweet or drawn out. Dont know

Thanks Brett. I did a full backup to my pc with Wondershare MobileTrans then a full factory data reset. I then brought the stuff back that I had copied into my PC and reloaded all the apps I needed from scratch rather than importing the old apps. It may have been that there were conflicts in the pile of apps I already had previously. Anyway it is now working absolutely perfectly thanks very much. Regards cliff

Google voice dial is awefully slow, unreliable. Impossible whilst driving.
Bixby was designed to help with stuff like this better (like Siri) and has many other functions besides (like navigating in a big shopping centre) but you have to hand Samsung access to so much of your privacy to use it optimally. A Samsung centre can open up a whole new world if you don't encounter a D_ckhead (= inept semi-geek).
Don't tell em if you imported the phone. They refused to help me b/c of this.... what would HQ think about those shunning a significant # of customer problems?
