I love this phone. I have had a couple older galaxies and they have all been better for me than the iPhone at that time. I definitely will not go with any other kind of phone. It is responsive and very easy to troubleshoot. I have dropped it a few times and no damage at all!
I love the fact that it's waterproof because me and water are always together. I dislike the curved screen only because it makes it easier to break especially because Otterbox no longer creates a case that has a screen protector on it so I have recently broken my phone granted it took a year to break it the 1st time. The battery life after year is still magnificent. The chargers are still kind of crap after a year my charger has stopped working and I need a new charge cord. But I love the features on the phone I love this swipe up to access the apps I love all of the tiny little details. I believe that Samsung poured their heart and soul into this phone.
I have always been a big believer in samsung products but after getting the galaxy s8 plus I am more longer one. When we got our new phones I loved them but because of the edge feature, which I'm not a fan of, we couldn't keep our screen protectors on. Even the ones that Verizon put on for us lasted a week maybe. And we must of bought about 8 all together before we gave up on them. So my husband was hunting the one day sitting in the tree stand, takes the phone out of his pocket to see the time, screen was fine. He takes it out again a half an hour later and it is cracked all over the place. He was sitting the whole time never hit it or anything and the screen is all messed up. And of course warranty doesn't cover physical damage. So we are not at all satisfied with this product.
I have owned this phone for almost a year and have not had any issues with it. The phone has always worked flawlessly. However I was very impressed the other day when I dropped my phone in a river after about 10minutes of scooping around with a fishing net I retrieved it along with a bunch of mud from the bottom I simply rinsed it off in the sink and it works just as good as it ever did I just can not express how impressed I am that my phone was unharmed. I am not one for writing reviews but my mind was just blown that it still works.
This phone, has lasted me a whole year, and still works really fast. Everything runs fluidly. The most important thing to me is, the camera. I do photography with my phone. It takes stunning images with supirior quality. I am the photographer of an early college high school program, with my phone. I might just be 15, but I certainly know how to tell when a phone is useful or not.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Durable, Inexpensive, Lightweight, Built-in speakers, camera is amazing, gorgeous colors
This phone is a joke. It advertises like it is bigger than the Note and it is not. it is too long and nothing new. They call this an upgrade. The ringtones are horrible and I wanted a bigger screen and this phone has not lived up to the price.
