I previously had the S6 and I don't regret a thing. The battery life is great, now I don't have carry around a portable charger everywhere I go. Also with Bixby added it makes finding information about anything you're looking at less time consuming then searching online.
I am a person who loves the Samsung Note phones, and this phone is a great replacement for a option no longer available. It does everything I need it to do and more. Love my new phone!
I love the size. I was a little concerned at first of the length of it but it has ended up being real nice. Not thrilled over the round/curved sides. I have had problems touching the "X" on the side to close something. I wish it would have had the option not to have the sides that way. I also don't like that there is no home "button", I miss having the actual button. It was again easy to transfer all my information and apps from my old phone to this one. Pictures are great and screen is real nice.
For the price paid, the phone should be MINE to use as I see fit. You need a google account AND a Samsung account for anything on the phone to work. Samsung sucks my contacts, photos, etc to their cloud and google tracks my every move. And Samsung pay, what a joke. When I could have reached for my credit card and swiped it, now I have to reach for my cel phone, UNLOCK IT, then use it to pay. At least 5 times longer than just using the card. WHY??? Think I will go back to a flip phone for the privacy.
The S8+ is everything I've wanted in a smart phone: big gorgeous screen, fast performance, sleek design, great battery life, amazing camera. It takes beautiful low light pictures. The O2/pulse sensor is new to me and works well with the health app. I highly recommend!
I purchased two of the new Galaxy S8+ phones. I am very happy with the phones but am not happy at all with the support of the promo program. I requested the same promo on both phones and was notified that I left the purchase date off of one of the phones(I do not thing this was what happened). After trying to re-submit on line I was still not sure if it had been fixed. I tried to contact Samung customer support !! Big Mistake !! After being on hold for over an hour on two different occasssions - I finally reached a human - the agent had NO IDEA of what I was trying to accomplish.
