I bought this phone 1 1/4 years ago. Once the phone discharge it will not charge again. A total brick! I loved the phone before I had this charging problem.
Every screen a ghostly image of all the apps on your home screen show. Also, screen protectors won't stay on the curved edge. Drop it once and it pops off and you have to spend $30-50 on a new one.
Fast and sweet - built for out of warranty claims!

All as good as you might imagine except: 1) back covered in slippery glass. Slipped through my fingers on Day 2 and shattered bottom-left-rear glass. Buy a cover before you buy this phone. Get non-slip tactile stuff on the long edges or you will be sorry. 2) Samsung chose to add the oldest Quick Charge, QC 4.0 has been out for quite a while, and they fielded this with QC 2.0!!! WHY? (forums say it's due to Samsung's refusal to pay Qualcomm royalties).
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 loved the phone when it first came out. Everything was perfect for it, all the apps were fine, until it got older, more upgrades/newer standards, more newer phones, caused the phone to lag behind in performance. Really thin! Note 9 is a glass tank compared to the solid s8+ with no scratches, durability is awesome. Terrible 4k performance in recording.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Only had this phone for 1year and 6 months and it died just like my Samsung refrigerator that I paid 2000 bucks for died in 5 years right after warrente expired. I will never buy another Samsung product pure junk.
