Love everything about this phone except the buttons get in my way when I use the landscape mode and, like most phones, the back is too slippery and needs rubber strips or something to keep it from sliding from your hand so easily. It looks sleek and stunning but slippery is not a good trait on a products that are as pricey as these hand-held gadgets and a bit of practicality is a useful thing in product design. I love the water resistant feature of the S8+ but I haven't had it long enough to know how well the unchangeable battery is going to hold up over time. The phone is remarkably light and hand-friendly. I'm a Samsung fan moving from a Note4, which has really held up well, so I hope the quality of this phone holds up as well over time. I recommend the S8+ if you're looking for speed, good looks, and the Samsung experience.
This is a great phone EXCEPT that it keeps restarting this is frustrating. I googled it yesterday and found there are many people experiencing the same issue and exchanging the phone does not stop the problem. I do like the phone but wish I would have waiting a few months before upgrading to it. I'm going to try returning it tonight and going back to my Edge until they get this problem solved.
Galaxy S8+ exceeds my expectations loved the full screen mode while recording and Bixby vision was really useful in finding the product or figuring out what it is. The eye scanner is pretty accurate and helpful in unlocking the phone.
i love sasung s8+ there is so much i can do its nut just a regular phone its allso a computer, that cuts some time for work because i can do everything on the go and them get to work and plug it to dex dock kick and fast. Now i have no need of a computer and waisting my time transfering data !
I spent more than I really wanted to when getting this phone. Let's be honest though,tbey all are when they are of this quality! I do enjoy using this device and am glad I purchased it despite the financial investment. I had the Galaxy S5 since it came out so needless to say, I needed to upgrade. Though the S8 and S8+ (only difference between the 2 is the actual size of the device with the S8+ being the larger of the 2) have new features I never had with the S5, it was still a very smooth transition for me and surprisingly easy to learn and adjust to all the new features. I've only had this phone for about a week but I feel just as familiar and comfortable with it as I did with the S5 after having it for several years. I had put off upgrading because I didn't want to deal with learning to use a new device after having my old 1 for so long and going from being completely knowledgeable about the phone I was using to clueless about the 1 I was getting. It was a pleasant surprise to me how quickly and easily I learned to use the S8+ after such a short time period.
In addition to being very user friendly, this device has a beautiful display, great sound, and a fantastic battery life. Though it is a little larger than the S8, the S8+ still fits comfortably in my hands while having a large enough screen to accommodate whatever apps you'd like to use. Whether streaming video, surfing the web, texting your friends, or making business calls, the Samsung Galaxy S8+ has you covered.
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get a screen protector for this device that fits correctly but I'm sure this is an issue that will quickly be resolved and it's definitely not a deal breaker!
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight, Built-in speakers, easy to use
