I've never been a huge fan of the Galaxy S phones but I must say, Samsung really did a good job with this phone. I've only had it a day so far so I can't say much about long term use. The display is beautiful and the phone seems premium quality everywhere. I don't get any sense of cheapness in materials. So far battery life is great as is performance. Coming from a Nexus 6 the S8+ doesn't seem huge however I really think they nailed the width of the phone as far as usability in a large phone. I don't feel like I have to do hand stretches to use it. I'm on AT&T so there was a considerable amount of bloat both from Samsung and AT&T. I would appreciate a feature where you can choose on setup what apps you would like to install rather than just throwing them at you. Overall this is a great phone, I highly recommend it.
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

My phone started out great but has been nothing but a series of problems since. I've dealt with hardware failures like cell signal going out and never coming back, grey spots appearing on the screen and never going away, and the speaker crapping out randomly during calls on speakerphone.
So not only has quality control been bad on this device, but the interface on the website and in emails for when you send your phone in for repairs is a complete and total mess. It's almost like nobody in the company bothered to send in a phone for repairs and test their systems.
Besides these issues, performance has gotten much worse in less than a year along with battery life. Classic Samsung. Not sure why I still bother. Just buy a Pixel or an iPhone.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color
Cons: Did not meet expectations, Poor quality, poor quality control
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
