[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.

I have had the S8+ for over a year now and I love it. I am reticent to trade it in as it has been trouble free. (knock on wood) Both my wife have it. I finally convinced her to stop drinking the Kool-Aid and switch back to Android.
There are some quirks about it. It keeps turning off the location feature that I need up here in the mountains but other than that, it has been pretty flawless.

I must confess, I do hate Bixby, probably because I haven't used any of the features. Maybe if I gave it a chance....
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great phone, I've only had it for a couple of weeks and am still getting used to it. The screen is wonderful and photos are very sharp.
It is taking me a bit to learn about all of it's features.

Great looks that lack stability

I was really excited for this phone. I switched to Verizon and traded in my iPhone 7 Plus. I was able to test the phone for 1 week before deciding it wasn't working for me and used the exchange policy from Verizon . I'm now using an iPhone again. I've had numerous issues with the phone. I've had constant freezes, dropped calls while on Wi-Fi and Bluetooth issues connecting to my devices especially the Gear 3 Frontier. I really wanted to love this phone as it has all the features I was looking for but the experience for me was not what I was expecting. Hoping the next Samsung phone won't disappoint.
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight
Cons: Did not meet expectations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great phone so far

I'm really loving my S8+ so far. The overall design and performance has been great for me so far.
Camera
I switched from an iPhone 7 Plus which is often touted as having the best camera. I really did love the camera on it but I've actually been more impressed with the camera in the s8 than I was anticipating. The first shot I took with my camera instantly sold me on it. It was a fairly low light show of my new cat and it came out sharp and vibrant. Similar shots taken with my previous phone came out grainy and with colors that weren't very accurate.
Performance
The performance has been really great so far. I haven't experienced an serious lag or anything. The battery life has been really great. I have to use my personal phone for work purposes throughout the day and I can make it 2 days without charging it.
DEX
One of the main things that interested me in the S8 is/was Samsung DEX. It's a dock that allows you to hook the S8 to a monitor, keyboard, and mouse and basically makes it function like a desktop computer. It has a special UI that activates when it's plugged into the DEX which closely resembles either Windows or Chrome OS. There are a number of apps that function like a desktop version like Microsoft Office, Gmail, and Chrome or Samsung Interbrowsers. The functionality has been great for me so far. The performance actually seems even better when plugged into the DEX for some reason and I've been especially impressed with the brower performance and smooth scrolling. Many apps only load as small phone sized versions. I'm hoping this will change over time. The biggest disappoitments are video services like Netflix. This would be an ideal use for them for me but they load in a tiny phone sized window and you can't view the video fullscreen. Youtube does work as a desktop version though. Overall, I really love my DEX and look forward to conitnued improvements to it.
Overall, this is a really amazing phone and I can't recommend it enough.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color
I would recommend this to a friend!
