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

Under the "Trade-In" program, they exchanged a defective and because of this Samsung S7 that had been in repair for a brand new "black diamond" S8. I have been using Samsung for a long time, before S7 was S5. The phone is incredibly beautiful, not at all big. You understand all the charm of a limitless screen only when you use it: games, movies. Truly limitless. In black, it looks rich and attractive - you just want to hold it. As an Apple fan friend said, "Doesn't look like a piece of…

Pros
  • - Screen - Camera - Power - Design - Very loud
Cons
  • I would like a more powerful battery Price

I like the product very much, fully consistent with my expectations.

In general, I paid 38,450 for black in Hong Kong. Don't forget to read any articles on how to set up your new Samsung S8 and get the most out of it. With its pros. I just bought S8. I put in two sim cards. I liked absolutely everything in the new phone, I join the previous reviews :) Especially the reaction of users with 7 iPhones and their sad faces when comparing the quality of technology :) I ordered it via the Internet immediately with a cover, I didn’t even hear about the marriage of the…

Good quality product, the price is commensurate with the quality.

I have a very good attitude towards Samsung, there was Note 3, Note 4, Note 4 edge (when the unsuccessful Note 5 came out), last year the two-handed size became boring, I decided to reduce the form factor and took S7. A cool, convenient smart, it easily fits into your pocket and does not delay, but the screen still began to seem small for viewing various content, then the S8 and S8 + came out. I went to the point of sale and twisted both, S8 + - the same shovel in size as the Note series (wide…

Pros
  • Display, camera, and everything else. The fingerprint sensor is criticized a lot for its location, but I'm used to flying in (for a right-handed person, that's it), probably subjectively, but it works more accurately and correctly than in S7, I liked that you can still unlock it in parallel both by fingerprint and face, or iris (did not check this), that's what I often missed in S7 - this is when my hands are wet / dirty and the print does not work and after several attempts to unlock the smart asks you to enter the password with the same wet / dirty hands (long and tedious), there is no such problem here , hands are wet - framed the face to the screen and voila.
Cons
  • My wife and daughters said that because of the elongated screen, the smart looks like a TV remote control, I think it's all envy :-)

A little bit not what I expected, generally fine.

At first I was happy, but then the shortcomings began to outweigh. The undefeated problem of autonomy, a maximum of 2 days is sad for such a monster. Out of the box, in the background when the phone is waiting, something unknown (not applications - system processes) constantly eat as much as 8% of the processor time, judging by the monitoring of resources. And the consumption, respectively, is not less than 20-50 mA in anticipation.

Pros
  • GPS works great, a big plus for that Water protection is a useful thing. The rest of the iron is quite on the level and works quite stably. What can you say about the software.
Cons
  • A spy phone sends all the contents of the memory to the clouds to the Samsung servers and you can’t just turn it off . Forget about privacy altogether. Ruth is hard to get. Non-switchable bixby delivers, moreover, Samsung in ates is struggling with bixby disable programs. Well, there are simply no words. The charge eats like a cannon. Although it was bought on the basis that the processor is more energy efficient and the android is new with improved energy saving. But if you forgot to turn off the data transfer, it eats the battery like a cannon. Autonomy is 1.5-2 times worse than that of the old LG G2 under the same conditions. Hope for root and custom firmware. But there is a chance to kill the phone, while I do not risk it.

Overall good, but expected more.

For a whole month I went with the phone, could not get enough of the beautiful device, constantly wore it in a case, but once I could not keep the slippery device - and all the beauty went down the drain. DROPPING THE DEVICE IS STRICTLY IMPOSSIBLE ANYWHERE, EVEN ON THE PARQUET. I have never seen such a fragile phone before! Pros: A beautiful screen, bright, juicy, I think the color reproduction is the best I've seen lately. A huge number of high-quality programs from Samsung, which more than…

A good product, I advise you to try it.

Summarizing the above - a very good device is literally stuffed with everything possible, but it looks cool and status, the only serious drawback is the battery. But now there is probably no one on the market with good autonomy. Separately, I would like to say about unlocking the screen - here the situation is extremely strange, the device can do as many as 3: "face recognition", "fingerprint scanner" and "iris scanner". The first is not usable at all, the second works, but badly, the iris…

Pros
  • - Design - I was very surprised, because I'm used to considering Samsung not the most successful iphone clones, and here is a very stylish original device that you can’t confuse with anything, looks 5+ (IMHO much better than the vaunted iPhone X), lies in your hand excellent with a rather rather big screen diagonal. A special plus for the fact that they finally removed the inscription from the front panel. - The screen is very clear, very bright. The best I've seen - Virtually no accidental taps on the screen. I was afraid to take a bezramochnik just because of them. It turned out - in vain. - Samsung Pay is better than Apple Pay and Android Pay, since it can MST, you can pay by phone on almost any terminal that can use magnetic stripe cards, contactless cards are not required. - Retinal scanner - you can unlock your phone just by looking into it. - The camera is very good. Pictures are 9.5 out of 10. - Build quality - no questions at all, attention to the smallest details. - Fast charging - slightly compensates for a weak battery. - Wireless Qi charging. Convenient, but must be purchased separately. - Always-On-Display - convenient, no need to turn on the device to see the time. - Usb Type-C, easily plugged in either side even by touch in the dark. - Protection against water IP68. Strictly speaking, you can swim with your phone. I did not check, but the very fact that you can not be afraid to wet it is very comfortable. - The shell of Samsung Experience pleased - I can’t even believe that the same people did as the unkind memory of TouchWiz. Doesn't slow down and looks nice. - Edge side panels, at first I thought a useless thing, but it turned out to be convenient, I got used to it. - Samsung Health - can measure heart rate, stress and oxygen levels in the blood with a built-in sensor. Not that it’s really necessary, but it’s good for playing. - They left a 3.5 mm audio jack, of course I still have more bluetooth ears, but I'm still glad to have a choice. - Equipment. Lots of adapters included. - Able to 2 Sims. - Price-quality ratio. If you take the gray device of course. Officials break inadequate.
Cons
  • - Battery !, very small and eats straight at cosmic speed. I am deducting one star for the battery. - Looks pretty fragile. Glass straight on all sides. It’s scary to drop it, I want to put it in a case in which it is no longer so beautiful. - The fingerprint scanner is bad, and it's not even a bad location (it's really bad, although it seemed normal at the first touches), you get used to it more or less, and in the fuzzy operation of the scanner itself, it usually works from 2-3 times only. - Face recognition (not to be confused with a retinal scanner) is pointless. This is not the iPhone X, it works poorly, is not stable and does not work in the dark, but if you have a retinal scanner, you don’t need it. - You can also say about 4 gigs of RAM (many Chinese already have 6-8), but for now I have enough of a non-dual camera, but I don’t really need it.

Good product, good quality, not bad.

I switched to this phone from iPhone 6, I switched to iPhone 6 from Samsung from 6 Edge, so there is something to compare. Disappointed by the rumor that they released the fingerprint on the back only because there was no time to make it on the screen, because they need to release this phone faster than the EPL. Maybe true, maybe not, I don't know. The WOW effect of the phone is present even after a month of use, I really like this screen. Provided that I am not a fan of a certain brand of…

Pros
  • -Superior design -Nimble stuffing -Quality of workmanship -Completeness of the phone - Latest anti-scratch glass
Cons
  • - The newest non-scratch glass! it is very slippery! yesterday for this reason broke the phone. He took it out of his pocket, and just like soap flew out of his hand. Of course, I myself am to blame, but I think it was possible to make at least the sidewalls of the phone less slippery. -I think the big drawback is the fingerprint on the back of the phone. Of course, you can get used to it, but with everyday use this is a minus. - HUGE MINUS for Bixby not being ready yet! the phone has been released, Bixby has been advertised, but it's not ready yet! By the end of the year they promise only.

A really necessary purchase, I'm glad I found this product.

Great device, I took it after Note 8, I can't get enough of it. I did not feel any difference after Note 8 both in performance and in the camera. Lies in the hand much better, actually because of this, and changed. The only plus of the camera in Note 8 is the portrait mode with bokeh effect. 6Gb RAM has such an impact on performance in Note 8 that I have never felt the difference. I took S8 in the color "Yellow Topaz", at first I doubted it very much, but when I saw it live - I just went nuts…

Pros
  • 1. Camera tower, without any dispute! 2. Display tower, amoled one love! 3. Any toys go. 4. Excellent sound in the supplied headphones (whoever says that they are bad - they simply do not know how to cook them). 5. I use contactless payment every day. 6. I also use wireless charging every day. 7. Water protection allows you to shoot videos right in the pond, personally verified!
Cons
  • One and only: the volume of the battery, of course, I would like more, but I already have enough.

The average product, you can find a better one.

Bought in February 2022. The GPS broke after a month. The arrow of the navigator is in a blue circle and stands still. We replaced the main board in the service on Hong Kongskaya, because flashing didn't help. Not under warranty it would cost 20 sput. I rejoiced - what a service! And in vain. In August, a WATERPROOF phone fell into a fountain in a bag. Was there for a minute, the pocket of the bag (which floated without drowning) filled with water. The phone is dead. I put it in rice to dry…

Pros
  • Cutting-edge at launch, camera, bezel-less screen, size
Cons
  • No reliability, no moisture protection, no warranty

An ideal product for any type of consumer.

I don’t have much to compare it with, until c8 it was mostly budget Chinese. After them, it seems to me a nanotechnological device, especially a camera and a screen. And with its small disadvantages, it is worth your money and attention. Some pros: - Screen. He's just great. Clear, the number of pixels just rolls over, the eyes never got tired (even if you watch the video all day). I have never seen such brightness anywhere else, even on the sunniest day it is more than enough. The phone itself

I am amazed! It was definitely worth the money!

As a result of this review, I would like to say the following: despite the fact that this device has been on the smartphone market for two years, it still has not lost its relevance. And it will be deservedly popular with a huge number of buyers for a long time to come. After all, it is rightfully considered one of the best smartphones of all time in the Samsung Galaxy line.

Pros
  • I have been using this smartphone for a very long time. June will be exactly like two years. I would like to share with you the attitude to this device. At the time of purchase, the S8 cost 55,000, but now its price has become an order of magnitude lower (you can also find it for 30,000). And even despite the appearance of the continuation of the Samsung Galaxy line, it is still extremely popular. The question is why? I think it has the following benefits: 1) The price-quality ratio as a result of its cheapening sharply skewed towards quality. For the money this is a great option. 2) The phone has good performance. For almost two years of use, he never let me down in this regard, which pleases. 3) Memory - the available 64 GB of memory were always only half filled by me. And this amount of memory in my opinion is optimal. 4) Camera - for a phone of this level, the camera looks quite appropriate. The photo quality is on par with its competitors from the 2022 era. 5) Screen - many people complain about problems with the screen. I haven't had this problem in two years. In my opinion, the screen of the S8 is to be commended. 6) Design - for me, as for a person who has used both Samsung and Apple devices for a long time, the design of this phone has become the most advanced at that time. Compared to the S7 Edge that I had before the S8, the phone's exterior design has undergone significant and extremely positive changes. 7) Fast charging - charges from 0 to 100% in an hour and a half. It is very quick and has helped me throughout my life.
Cons
  • In the course of such a long operation, I found several significant shortcomings in this device: 1) Fingerprint scanner - inconvenient location, does not always work. As a result, I had to stop using it. The iris scanner also sometimes fails. Traditional graphic keys turned out to be much more reliable. 2) Battery - problems with the charge. The phone has been draining very quickly lately. This has become a major problem. But at the same time, fast charging often saves. But even after almost two years of use, the battery could have lasted longer.

I like the product very much, fully consistent with my expectations.

I must say right away that before that I went through all Sony from ZR to Z5, and then all Samsung's latest S6, S7 and S7 edge. Do not read the reviews of those who watched this phone only in the store or in video reviews, the phone is really cool. 1. The retinal scanner works 100 percent and for the especially gifted, who have no eyes, you can play it safe with a finger or a code. And you don’t need to make any faces there, even in a dark room it worked. 2. I was worried about the fingerprint,

Pros
  • Comparing with the best Android phones - it is the BEST!
Cons
  • 1. At first it was small - a fingerprint on the back, but I got used to it in 1 day. 2. There is no way to answer calls with the Home button, as in 7 and 7edge, but I'm also used to this.

I am amazed at how well the product is made, just magically!

I was afraid to switch from Xiao "" because I liked it very much and was very used to it, I used it for almost 2 years, but after buying the Galaxy S8, I forgot about everything) Smart is really cool. Also for those who say that Sams is stupid . for 5 months I haven’t caught a single tupac, I always have a bunch of online games with the Internet, the built-in memory is packed almost at 0, it works perfectly, after ating to Android 8 Oreo, it began to work even faster and more stable.

Pros
  • The speed of the smartphone is simply amazing. Cool camera takes great pictures. Very easy to use, both for left-handers and right-handers. Moisture-and-Dust protection, you can not be afraid to take a bath or get caught in the rain)) Great sound with or without headphones Good price for this device.
Cons
  • The battery, it didn’t make me very happy, when compared with the famous Chinese miracle, which could keep the battery up to 3-4 days, then there is 1-1.5 days “there is no buzzing”, especially when you are on a trip . The battery is lithium-ion, you have to keep the charge constantly in the black.

Return my money! Disgusting product and poor quality.

I bought a Samsung Galaxy S8 on 11/05/2022 at Amazon, the problems started with the fact that it’s hard to find bulletproof glass for it, which is glued to the entire surface of the display, and not along the edges. In August 2022, problems with the battery began, spontaneous rapid discharge and shutdown at 15-25% charge. Battery changed under warranty. After a few days, fast charging disappeared. Samsung said that moisture got into the charge connector and oxidation occurred. Warranty denied…

Pros
  • The pros turned into cons over time.
Cons
  • The high price and the manufacturer's deception at the expense of dust and moisture protection.

I didn³'t expect the quality to be this good.

In general, I am very satisfied, the phone is super, I like everything, I don’t understand who it hangs and bugs there, for 4 months I have never rebooted and turned it off 3 times, in general everything is fine. the only lack of smoothness when calling the card is pay itself, but here iPhone lovers are expanse . only the lazy one didn’t get a taste of it . all devices have +/- and minuses, everyone is free to choose, I’m happy, but a little less in length and would be ideal . but I’m…

Pros
  • Yes, a lot has been written about them, I join everything that has been said.
Cons
  • 1-size for use with one hand (if it were 1 cm shorter, it would be ideal, otherwise it sometimes causes inconvenience, I don’t understand how even bigger phones are used, I always disliked shovels)) 2- the finger sensor in percent 70/75 works clearly, it’s fair that it also works for me on 7k, maybe the fingers are not the same, but I won’t change it yet. 3-no circular scrolling of working screens, oddly enough, I got used to this feature in alpha, I still can’t understand why it’s wrong here . third-party launchers don’t count. 4- the iris scanner is stupid . not very convenient, but worth the money.

In general, the phone is very cool, I advise everyone))) Got pros: Of course, the main advantage is the screen 🤗 impeccable design, all this leads to great delight!) The camera takes excellent shots, before the S8 I didn’t use the camera on previous phones at all! there is more than enough memory! 9 am to 7 pm, with almost continuous use of the game on the phone. With quiet use or even non-use, I took the phone off charge at 11 am, it's almost 6 pm, the phone has another 88 percent! I always…

Not my best purchase, you could have found something else.

The screen is really cool: bright, nice looking with curved edges. Great camera. Not very large, it is convenient to work with one hand (and there is also a special mode for this, which reduces the image). There are a number of useful pre-installed programs. Samsung pay works great. Until it slows down, there is enough memory for everything. Battery. The charge melts before our eyes, sometimes at a rate of a percentage per minute. And this is with minimal lighting. Now you can not part with…

Pros
  • Screen (in terms of color reproduction / brightness) Some pre-installed programs (AoD, Samsung Pay, one-handed operation) The size
Cons
  • Battery. The screen is heavily scratched Poor fingerprint scanner

The goods are normal, money is not wasted!

Before that, I used Sonya Sol for 5 years, yes, yes, there are such people who do not change phones in six months. I suffered from the first days with Sony, it slows down, it's buggy and completely turned off, I chose for a long time what the next phone will be, the choice is great, but it's useless. As a result, it hit me in the head to buy for 50 oblique, to try what the beast is so expensive. Yes, the camera is cool, but it does not slow down (yet) smart. Although the aversion to dormouse…

It can't be worse! A waste of money.

I encounter such a problem for the first time, pass on "experiments" and walk for 3 weeks without a phone, it's ridiculous, but buy a replacement at your own expense ?! I don’t live in Hong Kong, I don’t have time or desire to take a NEW phone to a service center! Give for examination without a similar substitution?! Not an expert, but after replacing the camera module or a banal opening, the phone will become restored, and this is after 3 weeks of use

Pros
  • Acquired samsung s8 29.04. I use a little more than 3 weeks, there were only positive emotions, since the phone is really good, but .
Cons
  • After exactly 15 days, when turned on, the camera began to work every other time, it does not find focus, it just shows a blurry image over the entire area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe frame, I attach an example. The restart does not work, but after tapping (lightly) on the phone, the focus comes to life, and this is on a 2022 device, which is ONLY 2 weeks old, the phone did not drop, from the first minute in the original bumper ! In the store where I bought this device, they said, leave it for examination (21 days), without providing a replacement!

Great product, a pleasure to use.

Used the phone for two and a half years. I decided to change to S10 + mainly because of autonomy and three cameras.
