The phone has a good battery life even with the screen at high resolution. A lot faster than the S6. Only gets a 4 start review as the screen scratches very easy ,so recommend a screen protector.
I bought my phone the same day as a friend of mine and as we're hanging out nearly 5 hours after making our purchases we were comparing features of our phones and he dropped his s8+ about 1ft 6inches on to a table and his screen cracked in the top left corner.. My last phone was the s6 edge + and it never broke when dropped. Other than that, it's an excellent experience and it's beautiful. I feel like my last phone was slightly faster though.
I concur with many who have stated that this phone is very fragile and the screen cracks very easily even with a screen protector and case. Make sure you have insurance! Also, where is Bixby Voice???? I think that was a main reason most bought this phone.
For such a high cost for a phone and then some for a case you'd think it wouldn't break. My screen has shattered twice now. I've never broken a phone before in my life. I've never dropped this phone either. One minute it's fine and the next it's shattered. It was in my purse all day next to my cloth wallet. I never set my purse down nor did it get hit/leaned on/thrown/etc.. I pull out the phone and it's shattered. I'm so frustrated and angry that something this expensive would break for no apparent reason. TWICE. If I could give 0 stars, I would. This is absurd. I want my money back.
