I have had several Samsung Galaxy phones. I have always had good luck with them. I just received it less than a week ago and already the Samsung Galaxy S 9 is going to be available soon, if not already. I like Samsung staying on top of things, but I wish I would have waited a little while to get the S9. This phone looks really good, I like the infinity screen. The phone is very slick, and you should get a case and screen saver as soon as possible.
After years of using Samsung active, I switched to s8+. I'm so happy, I love this phone and all the amazing features. I'm impressed. I used to be an iPhone junkie until I got my S5 active. Been hooked since
