[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wanted to test the phone in different conditions to have a fair assessment on how it handles different circumstances. So far I have to admit, the phone is outstanding in regards to hardware, having the 6.2 inch display in a phone that could easily be used with one hand is a work of art. The battery easily lasts a full day with heavy use. Camera access is fast and bixby is really useful if you take the time to learn to utilize it. Also being able to split screen two apps is really useful, many might not think of it as unique since Android 7.0 implemented it into most devices, but the thing that isn't emphasized on is when you do split let's say maps and Spotify on other devices maps stops updating your navigation if you accessing Spotify and vice versa, whereas on Samsung's software both apps are always updating and running. I was also on the fence between this phone and the Note 8 but the smaller size and longer battery seemed to be more useful day to day features than the S-pen and dual rear OIS cameras. These are just an overview of my experiences since having the phone, only thing that needs to be adjusted is bixby lagging a bit after launching due to the new update, but it's a minor glitch in all honesty.

A Computer for your Pocket

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This phone has been my everything for the past 3 months and through the good (and sometimes bad) I have found that this beauty has outperformed my other devices and has left my table and other smartphone in the dust. The screen is bigger on the plus, but that's just the tip of the infinity display. The screen is super sharp, the colors pop, and most importantly having the screen on and active does not kill your battery. I found myself watching movies on this device, balancing spreadsheets, popping open one note, and actually playing games. Some of the cooler things about this iteration of the Samsung's flagship phone is the google assistant and bixby combo. Some people aren't a Bixby fan, but used in conjunction with google assistant, its pretty useful and to be honest, its pretty cool. I am able to open all native apps, schedule upcoming events, add alarms, take notes, and a plethora of other day to day tasks using Bixby and Google assistant. The unlocked S8+ allows for less bloatware, but buyer beware (here comes the bad) the unlocked phone does not support wireless calling or data while the phone is in use. These things are service provider specific and unfortunately Samsung has not been able to add these items to an unlocked device. That minor annoyance does not take away from the functionality of the phone. I still talked a plenty, played tons of games, and managed work on this gorgeous piece of equipment even with the software limitations/restrictions. The battery life on this device is outstanding, far surpassing my s7. The camera is also outstanding and the ease of connecting with other Samsung devices (think Gear S2, Gear 360) has improved. The S8+ is sleek, has plenty of wow factor, and most importantly functions amazing. I have left my tablet behind on many occasions because this phone easily replaces it.

Best Phone Ever

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently purchased the Galaxy S8+. Right from the start it was easy to use, I also found it easy to move all my contacts and media from my old Samsung S5. Watching videos and looking at media is great with the edge to edge screen and the battery life is great.
I would fully recommend it to my friends and family.

Amazing flagship Android device

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Upgraded from a fairly old phone (the Nexus 5), so this was a huge leap to the next generation for sure! The photos it takes completely rivals any other phone I've seen (including my husband's S7!) and not to mention it even seems sharper than my friends' iPhone pics. The phone, albeit on the large side, has an absolutely GORGEOUS screen and makes browsing and interacting an absolute pleasure every time I fire it up. Only drawback is that it's very difficult for one handed operations, but I'm not going to ding the number of stars for that because I knew what I was getting myself signed up for when purchasing such a large phone.

Samsung Galaxy S8 Phone Review

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Samsung Galaxy S8+ Phone Review:
Bigger Screen, Better Phone?
Bigger Screen, Better Phone?
After an embarrassing setback with the Galaxy Note 7, the Samsung Galaxy S8+ is promising to be a bigger and better phone you'll be proud to have. The smaller version, the Galaxy S8 has been a homerun for the company and they're hoping with a bigger screen, comes a better experience and a much-loved phone.
Does it live up to hype? Let's find out in this review.
Does it live up to hype? Let's find out in this review.
Design and Build:
Samsung phones have come a long way. Whereas the company initially developed phones with high end plastic, for the S8+, they've made sure to echo a more sophisticated look and quality by using a combination of glass and metal in its build.
Overall Verdict:
Samsung phones have come a long way. Whereas the company initially developed phones with high end plastic, for the S8+, they've made sure to echo a more sophisticated look and quality by using a combination of glass and metal in its build.
Overall Verdict:
So is the Samsung S8+ worth considering if you're in the market for a new smartphone? The answer is a definite yes! If you love extra large screens, this one wins hands down. It's not too bulky but taller instead, the screen resolution is wonderful and will make you wonder why you even need a tablet at all. The aesthetics is sleek and beautiful without compromising on the quality or the function of the piece. I also love the iris scanner and camera quality. I just wish they had found a better placement for the fingerprint scanner because really, it renders a good scanner useless because of its awkward positioning.
However, if there's one thing to rave about with the S8+, it's the battery life. I've never seen a phone last this long and I'm sure in the future, this is just going to get better.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am so impressed with my S8 plus. I love how the screen feels so smooth, big enough for what I want and the clarity of the pixels, terrific. I have used it to record some live events and concert- it was so clear. I am very happy!

So beautiful! This display is Gorgeous!

I love my phone, the display is simply gorgeous! Great call quality and the phone is feature rich. Make sure you get a case, and go to Help in Settings for the User Manual. You have to read this to get the most from your phone. I had a Note 4 for 3yrs, so this was a good compromise, between the Note8 & S8.. Go to YouTube and look at as many different long term reviews as possible on this phone. Go to your carrier and hold one. Samsung has set the bar high with the S8+ ! Seeing is believing!
Pros: Bright display, Durable, battery, bottom speaker is loud, call quality
Cons: no 128gb in u.s.
I would recommend this to a friend!
