Nice display but too big for my hand.

The phone, the UI and the OS are all fine, but the device is just too big. Im 5' 11" and have normal sized hands for a man that size and even for me its hard to reach buttons at the top of the screen without moving my entire hand up. I like a smaller phone where I only need to move my fingers without readjusting my grip on the device.
I bought this phone back in May and I loved it since yesterday. Yesterday on Thanksgiving I was really busy and I forgot to charge my phone and it went completely dead on me. I had placed it on the charger and nothing happened it just remained dead. I tried troubleshooting it and still nothing the phone just remains dead and I'm now without a phone. Good thing I have insurance but I had to come out of pocket to cover the deductible even though this issue is not my fault. I did nothing to my phone except not charge it and this is just ridiculous!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I can't even call it a phone, because it does so much more. The phone has been great so far ... lots of features and lots of great photos. Plus, the browsing seems much faster, no matter what site I visit. Jury is still out on Bixby, but I haven't really used it. Otherwise, I would recommend it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Would rate the the phone is 8 out of the 10
Screen is awesome. Just wish the top and bottom bezels were a bit smaller.
The OS is a bit cluttered and overly complex for my taste
Battery is better then average and boy do I love the fast charging.
Fingerprint reader is horrible compared to my iphone.
Phone has stayed super fast and had no issues with multitasking or playing any games what so ever.
Overall it is a great phone. Just not sure it is for me. I wish the home button would be able to permanently stay on screen and love the tweak ability of the phone. And it seems to be a high quality, well built phone that will last years to come.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I find the S8+ to be a very good phone, screen is large and pretty clear. After having had the iphone for many years, I was ready to try something new. I have decided It's a bit cluttered for my taste, though. Finger print reader is a little awkward to use. I find the battery life is about average. I don't think you can go wrong picking this phone. It all boils done to preference. I really can't find anything negative to say about this phone.

Simply Great!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung Galaxy S8+ is the best phone on the market. The battery life is amazing! It lasts all day and charges really fast! I've been using Android phones for years. But when the phones battery became non-removable I had to switch to an iPhone because my battery would drain before noon. It doesn't make sense to have a fancy phone that you can't use!
As always, the screen resolution is crystal clear! Everything is vivid when I am watching a movie or going through my photos.
My only wish is that they make the fingerprint reader in a more accessible location, like the Nexus 6P, but otherwise the phone is flawless.

Best phone ever

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The best-looking phone around crushes it in performance, battery life, water-resistance and wireless charging. An external storage slot lets you keep more photos, videos and music. Honestly the statement above it just part of the features that this phone offers. I recently change to Samsung and I want to share my experience with all of you. Let's start with the design, the way Samsung made the S8+ it just amazing, very light weight, feels really nice on your hand and the screen design is just beautiful. Features: The camera is just a mine blower the quality of the pictures are just simply amazing, if you are addictive to your social media this phone will give you the best pictures for you to post in your media, make sure you use the "selective focus" feature on your phone for great results, if you are in a restaurant and want to share your favorite dishes with your friend make sure you use the "Food " feature on your camera for best resolution. Now let's talk about Bixby, you may have said who or what is that correct? well Bixby is like Siri but in a better way, no honestly it is... Bixby got a better respond and is really fast finding the things you need on the phone and on the web, also when you use Bixby Samsung give you XP points so you can use them to claim rewards in the Samsung store, that's pretty cool. The apps: I must have said that for some reason the apps work a lot better on this phone then the others. I believe the reason is because there are no restrictions on the app features. another cool features that this phone have is that it works well with any Microsoft apps like word, excel power point and outlook, is like having a window phone combine with android. You can also open your work attachment and modify them at the palm of your hand. Bluetooth: this feature allows you to connect to 2 Bluetooth devices at the same time. last but no least: the face recognition, the finger scanner and the Samsung pass features will ensure that your personal information, payments and online bills remain highly secure. These features will give you a peace of mine even if your ever loss your phone. Well I hope this information is helpful and somehow help you to decide what's your new phone is going to be in my personal opinion I don't have any regrets, the Samsung s8+ offers the best technology out there as now. Thank you all and best of luck.

Amazing Phone
on November 8, 2017

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is by far the best phone I've ever had. Pros: The pictures it takes are amazing and are even clear at night. The phone itself looks amazing and the screen is very big. Cons: the curved screen makes glass screen protectors hard to keep on. The size of the standard S8 seems more attractive being just a little smaller.
