The Best Switch I've Made

I had an iPhone for YEARS. I hadn't used an android device since 2010 or so, but I was starting to miss it and had toyed with the idea of changing back recently rather than upgrading my iPhone 6 to whatever ridiculousness Apple was coming out with. My sister got the s8 and playing with it made up my mind. I upgraded to the 8 plus and couldn't be happier. Everything about the phone blows every iPhone I've used out of the water. I love being able to hide all my apps if I don't want them on the screen, the side swipe menu is a godsend. The camera is fantasic, the screen is so sharp and bright. The device is fast and so fun to use. It has great battery saving capabilities, and tells you when you can optimize your storage and battery use better. I was at Disneyland for 12 hours (taking pictures, texting, some social media usage) and I walked out with over 30% on my battery with the medium battery saving mode. I used Google Photos and Google stuff for all of my information/email/calendar/etc. and this auto uploads pictures when I take them without me having to do anything and seamlessly integrates whatever app you want as your default. The ONLY thing I can complain about is that I love using fingerprint for things and when you're up and holding your phone the fingerprint works great (I have a case that makes the spot super easy to find/use), but I work at a desk all day so my phone is usually laying down on the table, which means I have to pick it up to sign into things with my finger rather than being able to do it on the front. I'm still getting used to switching from iOS to android, but its been amazing so far.
Traded in Galaxy S3 for this one. Expected battery to last much longer than old model but about same. Curved edges make it difficult sometimes to hit something precisely on internet at that spot. Had since introduced and have had to hard reboot about 6 times after it freezes.
I just Don't like this Phone, the curved edges are the worst it does not make any sense to me. if i have to compare this to Pixel Phone the Pixel Phones is better can't wait for the new Pixel Phone after that i will put the Samsung 8+ to rest. R.I.P.
This phone is excellent love the look and feel of it. It has a lot of security feature that will keep your phone protect.It was a great buy. The battery life is wonderful.
This is by far the best one yet. It is super fast, and fits in the hand well. Like any valuable phone, a case is a must! I use a Body Glove, which works well. Check the side buttons on your case to make sure the buttons are easy to press. The camera is awesome, as is the screen. I like the virtual home and back buttons. The phone is sleeker as a result. And, the latest Android is much better, too. The one thing I don't like, however, is that you can't completely turn off Bixby. Hopefully, that will come in an update.......
I am a fan of Windows OS. I had the Lumia 950 which I dropped and cracked the screen. When I went to the store I found out that Windows phones were no longer carried. I ended up with the Samsung Galaxy S8+ and am so happy that I chose to get this phone. It is amazing. During Hurricane Irma I was able to make and receive calls and texts even though cell service was limited. My husband's LG G6 wouldn't. Thank you Samsung.
