The product is completely satisfied, performs its functions.

I like it in general, ates come regularly the only thing that annoys at times is the jerking about face recognition: it works either quickly, sometimes not very, sometimes it doesn’t work at all, then you don’t have time to take it, it unlocks in the twilight the model is not plus, reaching for the finger scanner is comfortable, it works quickly Got pros: screen the camera is good he was the flagship, what else to add Has some cons battery. before that was j7 2022, he kept order longer despite…

Everything in the product suited me, the price is generally perfect.

I'm at a crossroads. I'm tired of Android, I haven't had iOS since 2022, I'm bored. I'll probably buy an iPhone XS in a month or two. Its pros: This phone is a real workhorse. He is very comfortable both physically and technically. He is beautiful. I fell on the tiled floor and at that very moment I was without a case (I took it off, I wanted to use a beautiful phone)))))), the screen hit the floor, well, there are cracks . I didn’t change the screen, because there was a fall on his work and…

Do not hesitate to buy, the quality is amazing for the price.

Always used iPhones, there were all models and all sizes, absolutely everything! I started staring at Samsung from the moment the s6 edge was released, but I took myself a new iPhone 7, and my wife 7+ (there were also all models, Samsung hates). After walking for six months with the 7th, I saw a friend s8, I liked it visually, the menu is also without problems, as before! Transfer all data from ios here - in minutes! I liked the phone very much, there are no special problems, you always…

Pros
  • Display, size, design, battery life, camera.
Cons
  • Haven't revealed yet.

The best thing I've ever used, a great item for everyone!

A real flagship with an excellent design. If you have money, buy without hesitation. Switched to it from the iPhone 7 and have no regrets With its pros. 1) Frameless (Compared to many other smartphones, it looks like a guest from the future) 2) Screen 3) The camera does not stick out (a trifle, but nice) 4) Performance 5) Samsung shell (in some places even better than pure android) 6) Weight Has some cons 1) Fingerprint scanner (both location and response speed) 2) Price 3) The devices created…

Excellent product, the best quality.

Now newer models have come out, but nothing fundamentally new. On the one hand, I already want to ate, on the other, there is nothing fundamentally new. Some pros: This is the first frameless smartphone. Samsung has made a breakthrough and set a new trend. even after three years, the device pleases with its excellent performance and characteristics. Not a bad camera. Great screen (better than iPhone 11). Nimble. Wireless charger. Support for memory cards (unlike iPhone). With its cons. Fragile.

Perfect purchase for me, exactly what I was looking for!

Moved from Galaxy s5. Now it looks like a wide shovel. Completely satisfied with the new phone. Pleased with payment by Samsung Pay card - it works everywhere, even where sellers are sure that it doesn’t work😆 With its pros. Picture quality No dancing with tambourines when transferring files through various interfaces Work speed Ease of use with one hand General appearance Photo and video quality Sound quality Has some cons Sometimes, due to the rounded edges, text close to the edge of the…

Don't buy it, it's not what it should be.

Oh that screen. Out of the box (it was bought at the start from an official dealer) it was defective (like my last S7, hmm) - a third of the screen was with white stripes even with a perfectly black background. What can not be physically possible on a normal OLED. They replaced it under warranty with no problems (Samsung still has great service). Everything was fine until a couple of months ago it cracked. Myself. Here he took and cracked. The phone has not come out of the case since the…

Pros
  • - Some characteristics of the screen and its framelessness; - The sound from the speaker is better than on S7; - Moisture protection; - Good camera; - Ergonomics (yes, I'm one of those who are comfortable with the location of the fingerprint scanner)
Cons
  • - Screen (details in the comment); - Battery (after 6 months of use); - Price; - Bixby and everything related to it

Matches the description completely, very satisfied.

Haven't even tried SecureFolder/Knox in Note7. Decided to smoke. The implementation, I can imagine, is very cool, but the user interface is bad. Why do I need all the same authentications for something that was called "secure"? Why can't you just protect everything and not torture me with additional authentication every time? Turn on the checkbox "close everything, if authentication data is lost or compromised - burn the Knox chip", and that's it! Looks like worms inside other worms.

Pros
  • - Display - SoC - Glass, execution, "ends" (body) - The camera was finished. There is nothing to compare, the best camera on mobile phones - LTE, communication, signal reception. Compared with other flagships and with previous Samsas - the best implementation, beyond praise - Collectively, the best device on the planet
Cons
  • - IRIS! Still like the Lumia 950 XL DS, the Note7 won't work in the sun - Not the best location for the fingerprint scanner - Clear View Standing Cover - magnets don't actually work - Software locks of a number of features. 835 SnapDragon is capable of QC 4.0, while only Fast Charge (9V * 1.67A max) is available and this is in 2022 . Further, according to the list, camera sensors are capable of scalding 960 frames at 720p, - this is not in the stock firmware. Some teardown makers claim that the frontalka contains a stabilizer, which is also not activated at the moment. 8022022 AD is also locked (60 GHz wi fi @ 7Gbps). nuff said. - A huge amount of marriage. 70% of marriage is a display stoned with ganja. Even at the office pictures where the devices are on charge - everything is under the ganja. Demo units in all salons - under the ganja. They promised an "extended range of correction." Funny, where do I get the equipment from? And how will it work for adaptive backlight mode? I had to change one of the two to a normal one . - Micro SD UHS-I. Accordingly, you can't jump above UC3, and there are frame drops when recording 4K@30 - it's normal, even for Sandisks.

Impressions of use - happy as an elephant. As for the bundled AKG headphones, I would like to note that they are comfortable and have a lot of potential. For some reason, they play quietly and inexpressively with the S8, but with a hi-fi player, they really surprise you. They sound a little bright; the mids are bulging; bass, rather, monitor; upper frequencies - "honest", not cut down for the sake of softness of sound. One thing is clear: Apple AirPods/EarPods headphones are torn to shreds…

Pros
  • 1) Just an incredible screen. Excellent color reproduction and brightness. The colors are saturated, but not acidic, there is nothing vyryglaznogo. High resolution: pixels are indistinguishable even in FHD+, let alone WQHD+. The phone is sharpened for two hands and with this use of accidental touches, rounded edges do not occur. I am generally not a fan of surfing the Internet, holding the phone vertically, but here I don’t even want to turn it - and it’s so convenient. 2) Almost the best camera on the smartphone market with a clear interface and a lot of fine-tuning shooting parameters. Shoots great; saves in RAW. So you can then process the pictures in Lightroom. 3) Cool sound from portable hi-fi headphones. The DAC here, apparently, is worth a decent one. Although, paradoxically, the complete AKG shakes badly. About them - a little later. 4) Face recognition and retinal scanner work stably. 5) The Samsung shell, in my opinion, has been brought to mind. It's nice to use. No performance issues have been found so far. 6) Open file system, the ability to install third-party applications. Yes, in 2022 you have to write down such trifles as pluses, looking back at what Apple is doing. 7) Slot for microSD card. Memory can be expanded to almost a third of a terabyte. 8) Dust and moisture protection. The phone, of course, is not diving, but it's not scary to get wet.
Cons
  • 1) The price is too high. Bought at a discount. To give 45-50 kilorubles for him would not turn his hand. As for me, the device costs 35 thousand, no more. I think that's how much it will cost and will be after the release of S9, because it is no longer a flagship. 2) From the point of view of body materials, it is extremely impractical. Glass, however tough and tough, is slippery; has a habit of cracking and scratching; collects fingerprints. Just imagine that your smart is entirely made of the same material as its screen! Although, this is the white of many modern smart phones, so the minus is not unique to this phone. 3) Bixby camera is useless. The idea, of course, is promising, but the recognition algorithm is still stupid: it recognizes objects, but the brand and model do not. Apparently, AI has not yet matured to this level.

Just super, the product is made wonderfully, very satisfied.

I thought for a long time before buying, there were several options, Honor 9, etc. I read a lot of reviews, compared characteristics, the choice is not easy - the price. The reviews wrote a lot of negativity about the Samsung, in particular about the ES 8. Of course, everything has its drawbacks, nothing is perfect. I always use samsung phones - S2 => S3 => S4 => S5 => s8 and this time I decided not to change the samsung, and I do not regret it at all!

Pros
  • 1. Camera - front and main! They shoot great! 2. Screen resolution, color reproduction! - super! 3. Sound. 4. Performance! Nimble! 5. Design, appearance! 6. Fingerprint sensor - responds quickly. Although some "reviewers" criticize because of the inconvenient location, it is necessary to "hand over" the prints in a way that will be a convenient location in the hand when unlocking. 7. Fast charging. 8. The absence of imposed unnecessary applications as in previous versions, although some are available. 9. Good sensor. 10. Network accelerator - simultaneous use of WI-Fi and mobile Internet. 11. Large screen with a small size of the phone itself.
Cons
  • 1. The battery does not match the performance, a little weak, although tolerable. 2. Vulnerable screen with a possible fall, you definitely need a bulletproof vest! Once I fell onto the asphalt from a height of 1 meter at an angle, in a simple silicone case, nothing happened. 3. For me personally, I don’t know about others, it doesn’t catch 4G (LTE) well, although it exists. Therefore, I work in 3G / 2G mode, which shows H +. 4. Lack of infrared port - can not be used as a remote control (on S5 - was). 5. Firmware 7.0 does not yet support some applications from previous versions, but this is a matter of time. 6. Unnecessary feature - Bixby. The function of the button can only be replaced by rooting . Personally, this button does not interfere with me at all, although some in the reviews write that it does not let them live)) 7. Memory card or second SIM - the choice is limited. 8. Iris scanner - thinks for a long time.

Nightmarish quality and complete inconsistency with the description.

Good afternoon! I bought a Samsung Galaxy S8 for my husband's birthday on pre-order. My husband couldn't wait. When the phone was delivered, the husband's joy knew no bounds. He liked everything: performance, camera, design. But, just the other day, the phone fell out of the pocket of the shorts on the floor, and the screen cracked :( The service center told us that mechanical damage is not included in the warranty and the replacement will cost 18 thousand ! For this money you can buy a new…

Pros
  • Good performance, camera and design
Cons
  • Very fragile screen glass

A great option for this money, I definitely recommend it!

He cited as an example pictures taken in low light. I bought a phone in Aliexpress. Pros below: The best camera and screen I've ever used or tried on a phone. Handy manual settings for long exposure shots, so the shots are very close to a SLR camera. Convenient samsung pay (there are some troubles, for example, if an ate or a 5% battery arrives, then what the hell are you paying for). The speed of work is excellent, enough for everything (I like to play). The iris scanner works great, it works…

The best price for such a product, I will buy more!

Subjectively satisfied with the purchase until I remember the price. Samsung seemed to skip one generation of their flagships and released not the S8, but the S9 right away. Compared to previous years, the jump in sensations is very significant. On April 1, there was a joke that Samsung would release the S8 mini. You know, if this was not a joke, then I would have waited and bought it. And finally, advice. If you are going to change your phone to a flagship in 2022, and now you have an…

Pros
  • For me personally, point by point: 1) Screen. Both quality and wow-effect - everything is present. The picture is juicy and bright. After Sony (xperia Z1/Z3 compact), the colors seem very saturated, I would even say too much. 2) Frames around the screen. In fact, they are. And not only from above and below, but also on the sides. Subjectively, about 1-2 millimeters. For me personally, this is a plus, since, unlike the s7 edge, there are much fewer accidental clicks. 3) Complete set. They put in more and more. 2 adapters, good headphones, adaptive charging at 1.5-2 amperes. Although regarding the topic of headphones, in my subjective opinion, you can buy very decent headphones with active noise reduction for 3,000, for example, from the same Sony, and they will be more convenient in everyday tasks. But there are some good people here, and thanks for that.
Cons
  • In addition to the price: 1) Screen unlock. There are 3 types of quick unlock - by face, by retina and by fingerprint. And all 3 curves: a. Retina. Firstly, for this unlocking to work, you need to make a face like from the video "the door was washed down with me", otherwise it will not recognize the retina. Imagine the comical situation when a person brings the phone right up to their face and SHOOTS at it. Well, the main problem of this unlocking is that you can remember only one retina. Of course, I understand everything, but often not only the owner uses the phone in the family, for example, family members take the phone to watch videos, surf the Internet, take a photo. And then it remains only to dial the pin code. b. face scanner. It is more convenient - no need to make an idiotic face, place the phone in the only correct position, as with the retina. But he can remember only one face, so for others, again, only a pin code. And no, you cannot remember one retina and one face at the same time - these types of authentication do not combine. At the expense of hacking this species through a photo. I tried it and honestly I will tell you that there is a level of "pulling by the ears", like the idea of ​​copying a fingerprint from a glass from which the smartphone owner drank. in. Fingerprint scanner. Better to forget about it altogether, consider it non-existent. 2) Phone size. It is narrow, which is convenient for the grip. But the screen is very elongated - reaching with one hand to the top curtain without intercepting the smartphone is unrealistic. It lies in the hand as firmly as a piece of glass with a slippery oleophobic coating can lie firmly in the hand. 3) Choice of colors. In 2022, 3 colors are presented - Black (one in one Jet Black), Gold (not quite "ay nane-nane", but not for men for sure) and Purple, which I bought. He, I would say, with the effect of a chameleon - depending on the lighting, it changes color from "grape" to black. A couple more flowers wouldn't hurt. 4) It's scary to wear. There is an underlying feeling that the phone has a life limit before the first hard fall. But we'll see.

Best price for this product, will buy more!

The phone is not something that would be used - I worked on it. Presentations, document editing, mail/messengers and 2-3 hours of conversations a day - screen activity is about 5 hours a day. And between meetings - youtube or streaming services. The phone lived in this hell for 1.5 years and never failed, unlike the iPhone 6S and Galaxy S5. Despite the fact that the screen is broken in three places, and the back cover looks like a Tupac car - it's all in a sieve. For a fairly long "telephone"…

Pros
  • Excellent set Design Normal adaptive sound through headphones As practice has shown - survivability in the presence of damage fast charging The most convenient unlocking system
Cons
  • In the pros - fast charging, and in the minuses - fast discharge, incl. fairly fast battery degradation; Little RAM from the factory - constantly under heavy load there were jamming; Slippery case, good with active use - it becomes rough and holds much better in the hands; The cost of original spare parts makes phone repair unprofitable.

My money is wasted, the product is terrible.

We were driving yesterday. The phone was on charge. More precisely lay. Before that, it was charging without problems, in the same place. Call. I take it in my hands and throw it back. Burn. The phone in the charging area is fiery. fire plug. Service workers give a conclusion: water got in, oxidation. non-warranty case. Violation of operating conditions. They took a picture of the cable, they didn’t even look at the phone itself. What about him? Works or not? Type pay we'll see. That is, if it…

Pros
  • I liked everything, except for the service.
Cons
  • Service.

I am delighted, the product is really worthy.

Excellent smart, for a year of use I do not remember any problems with software or hardware. Very comfortable form factor, thin and narrow, allows you to easily use one hand. But the phone is extremely susceptible to damage. The glass is scratched: the front is weak, and the back is quite noticeable. The fragility of the glass is a separate issue - cracks went down the display after the first and only fall, while the fall was on a coffee table.

Pros
  • Screen; optimal size for one-handed use; camera; equipment, which not every smartphone can boast of; oleophobic coating.
Cons
  • fragility; weak battery (enough for a working day of moderate use)

I do not recommend spending your money on this.

Overrated phone. Its pros: There was one pole. In the andryukha that came with the sale, it was possible to set a personal melody for the contact by SMS. After ating to the next version, this was removed. "You don't need it." Its cons: 1. He's nerdy. Since birth. Maybe I was unlucky, but before that there was Honor8 - in comparison with it, the SGS8 is a turtle. (if anything, he went to zero three times, it doesn’t help) Screen rotation works in the style of "as I want and I will turn."…

Not perfect quality, there is a small defect.

Very compromise phone. I really wanted him. Yes, he pleased me, especially when he was new and whole. But alas, we had to part not by mutual agreement. If you want to buy it, immediately take a book cover, glue the protective glass (even for 2-3 tr), insure against breakages and pray that it doesn’t fall out somewhere. My boss changed several S8s in a row due to a broken screen. And in general, for the first time in my life, I encountered such a problem - before, I changed phones only at will.

Pros
  • Speed ​​- bless you fly, games, applications, overall performance is on top, even in 2022. The quality of the picture on the screen - the screen without frames is a bomb, but there are nuances (in shortcomings). Videos, movies will delight you (as long as you don't touch the screen). The main camera shoots very decently even in the dark, especially in ideal sunny conditions, the video stabilizes well, the picture is juicy. Fast charging - really fast, faster than Xiaomi 5S was. Well, all the other goodies: NFC, Type-C, wireless charging, an abundance of accessories, a convenient shell from Samsung without extraneous advertising (hello Chinese phones :))
Cons
  • The fingerprint scanner on the back cover is practically useless, for six months I could not use it even once. I hammered one finger several times, under different positions, but still it is not read normally - too narrow and too high. The scanner under the screen is sometimes very dull. But you can live. The design of the phone is cool, but not very practical. When you sharply take it out of your pocket or bag, you won’t immediately understand which side you will have. Everything is very well blurred, dirty. The assistant button on the left side is simply meaningless and only interferes with accidental clicks, you cannot reassign the action using standard methods and you are unlikely to use it. The front camera is very lathering. A little darker than ideal conditions and that's it, the photo becomes useless even for insta. The biggest drawback (although it is also a plus) is the screen. Yes, it is beautiful, but bright and big, BUT! Inconvenient: if you watch, say, Youtube and the phone is on the table, then picking it up without switching the video or turning on the pause is almost impossible. The side faces are always active and will do their job. You hold the phone in your hands and always call something extra with a side press. Fragile - the phone will not survive even a small fall, just like that at all. If a chip appears, then that's it, Khan's screen. That's how I parted with the phone, fell out of my pocket on the ground (not on stones, concrete, etc., but on the trampled earth), a chip appeared on top and cracks started, the screen began to slowly close with a black spot. Then the upper bar stopped working and the end was the ingress of moisture. Just moisture, no direct exposure to water. (I was lying in the tent turned off, I think if it were in my pocket during the rain, it would have happened even faster) The screen turned into a touch-sensitive flashlight. Replacing the screen, if anything, costs about 18 (Hong Kong). The screen changes entirely and only to the original. You can even look at alik - it costs from 9 and then with a factory marriage. Now they don’t even accept it for spare parts, because everyone has the same problem - the screen.

A good product, I advise you to try it.

I bought it because of the interesting design - the screen covers almost the entire front part. The wow effect was gone in a week. The screen is just great. More than enough power. The charge is enough for one busy day. But the games do not go to full screen, which is a little embarrassing. I took it for 55 thousand. Well, it's not worth the money. The phone is a little raw - no one needs Bixby, the fingerprint scanner is poorly placed. The honest price of the phone is 30-35 thousand. It is…

Pros
  • Gorgeous screen, interesting design, gaming performance
Cons
  • Price

I like the product, the quality didn't let me down.

Despite the shortcomings, the phone leaves a fairly good overall impression. You get used to them (disadvantages), adapt to them and use the phone with a proper share of pleasure! Should I buy it? With such competition in the market, I would not be in a hurry, take a look at other models)) Different pros: An undeniably high-quality and bright high-resolution screen, its curvature allows you to take a fresh look at multimedia capabilities. Youtube videos or high-resolution pictures and photos…
