Love the phone (bought Jan 2018).
Have had no problems until the March 2022 update.
Now apps arent working, and interface doesn't seem user friendly any more.
(Hubby having the same issues with e.g banking, netflix apps).
Its a real shame: if the update issues aren't fixed soon, we will have to go for another product that gives less headaches.

I have owned this phone for approximately 1 year and couldn't be happier. The camera takes really clear photos, the battery life is great and it charges really quickly. The screen/display is bright and clear. I use it for emails, banking, online shopping and social media - no issues at all. Very happy.

The samsung galaxy s8 was my phone for a long time, there are many great things about it including the speed, the camera and the bezels. The UI is wacky and bixby is horrible the support from samsung is very little aswell.

Galaxy is by far the most annoying phone to connect to ANY computer, be it Mac or Microsoft, to download pictures. Forced to use SideSync, a constantly crashing software or third party software to even try. UI for SideSync is bad when is not losing connection. Media Transfer Protocol is never recognizable by computers and you must navegate through heaps of options to even try. What a solid hassle. Good phone, don't get it if you plan to download stuff constantly to your computer.

This latest update March 2022 has been very annoying. I lost Bixby and had to re set him, lots of features simply moved to a different place on the screen eg the types of clocks, which I found annoying. Some icons changed shape and colour which is just a change not necessarily better.

This phone is easy to set up, easy to use and easy to customise. There are plenty of accessories to choose from so you can personalise your device. The camera is fantastic and it charges so quickly.

Less than 2 years old and the damn thing won't charge because it keeps telling me there is moisture in the charging port.
There isn't, nor has there ever been!!!
Apparently it is a common problem and users all around the world are getting this fault on Samsung S8 phones that have never been near water or any type of moisture whatsoever.
So once a loyal Samsung user will be purchasing something else from now on and not taking the chance on another dodgy Samsung.

I have had the s8 for about 6months+ I have not been able to merge calls. Ive been through the settings and still can't find anything to fix the problem. Is there a solution to this problem??

My S8 was updated a few days ago. I did absolutely love this phone, the best I've ever had but since the upgrade it does not work properly and even though the settings are right, it does not behave the way the settings reflect. Very disappointed.

We’ve bought a bit late, but very happy with purchase. Camera much better, bigger size is great. A LOT more menus to work through to set up personal preferences. Love the Edge bar, love the colour choices.

I really like this smartphone, I like the features, I really like the feel of it in my hands, it has a very good size, the screen however is very easy to damage.

Camera quality is awesome thought haven’t used it at night yet. Display is also great. I use my mobile for social media and phoning my family. I transferred all the apps from my old phone to the new S8 and they all are running smoothly.

I love this phone. It goes everywhere with me and it does so many things. The camera is great, video quality is pretty good too. I do recommend a silicone cover for it as it is brittle when dropped. It allows me to do time-lapse content. Battery is reasonable, I use it alot everyday and need to charge it everyday. The only thing against it, is I can't add any extra memory to it.

Samsung's S8 is the most un-user friendly phone out of all the Galaxy line. Navigating the settings is no longer simple as previous models. Trying to change downloading software is a nightmare. The back button is absolutely useless and the side touch screen is great for liking peoples posts on facebook I dont like and video calling friends at inappropriate times while in my pocket. Lets not even start on the Bixby button.... I love android but wont be getting anymore Samsung's that remotely resemble this phone... a total waste of money

I've had a Samsung s8 for approximately 18 months. I started having charging issues around 6 months in, with the phone reporting it was not charging due to the presence of water (despite not having been anywhere where it could possibly have gotten wet). This problem eventually resolved itself, although the phone frequently has issues with not fast charging. Programs also crash more frequently that I would expect from other reviews

I purchased a new S8 active and less than one year later the screen got a red tint. Apparently the cause is turning up the screen for too long. The display appears to go bad if you use it as designed. Recommend not to buy it.
