Revainrating 4 out of 5

I expected mediocre quality, but the product was pleasantly surprised.

This is a very good phone, only it rickets) If you take it, immediately get the most shockproof case, only it will look like an Optimus Prime, and not like an elegant expensive gadget. Has some pros I am a fan of Androids, and there is no better Samsung on the market yet. Everything is fine, universal in terms of multimedia, downloads from everywhere, reads, shares with everyone. But. With its cons. Despite the ultra fashionable design, it is slippery, even in a case, and crystal. I have never…

I am delighted, the product is really worthy.

I decided to supplement the review, since one jamb got out again: after a phone call, the device goes into silent mode, only a safe start with a further reboot helps, support said that this is the influence of additionally installed applications, which one I could not figure out, the bug gets out randomly. The vaunted AKG earphones are no different from the $300 earbuds, the only plus being the cloth-wrapped wire that won't snag on clothes. Despite the large list of cons, I can only highlight…

Pros
  • Beautiful appearance, pleasant materials, it is a pity that all this beauty still has to be hidden under the cover. I am glad that there is no Samsung inscription above the screen, as in younger models. Bright, juicy screen, with excellent resolution. Even after six months of use, I can’t stop enjoying the screen, I like to watch clips and videos with nature in 2K resolution, and it’s also very convenient to watch movies and TV shows on your phone while traveling. The brightness of the screen is enough on the sunniest day, but I would make the minimum brightness darker. The oleophobic coating is of high quality, the screen is very resistant to scratches. The size of the phone suits me, it fits in any pocket, fits well in the hand, but if you try to tie your shoelaces with such a device in your jacket pocket, it will cause some difficulties. The main camera pleases every day! I photograph nature, landscapes, sunsets, sunrises, perfectly conveys colors, at night I also take decent pictures, during lectures when shooting from Kamchatka, the photos are well readable, I think that the camera on this phone copes with all its tasks by 100%. The quality of the video recording is also at its best, the stabilization works well, I shot video while riding a snowmobile at a speed of 50 km / h and was satisfied, the shaking is minimal. The battery holds a charge well, charges quickly, enough for me for a whole day of active use, does not discharge in cold weather. The ability to broadcast sound via bluetooth to two devices with independent volume control is a cool feature, we like to use it with a girl in the kitchen when we cook. I like the ability to divide the screen into two working windows, I often use it when watching videos on YouTube.
Cons
  • Slow fingerprint sensor, unwillingness to recognize wet fingers, extremely inconvenient location, the camera lens often gets dirty, despite the fact that for quick (no) fingerprint readability, the finger must be positioned perfectly on the sensor. During a telephone conversation, the screen is often unlocked, in order to lock it back, you have to put the phone aside and bring it to your ear again. The face recognition sensor is very slow, compared with pocofone f1, it’s impossible to use, it doesn’t work in the dark, I had to turn it off. Perhaps for some it will seem like a trifle, but it’s hard to get into the charging connector without scratching the phone case, the wire is not inserted intuitively, in the dark I have to look for it, with other phones this problem has never arisen. Absolutely useless Bixby app and inconvenient location of the button of this app. I often confuse this button with the volume down button, the impossibility of disabling this button or assigning another program to it without third-party programs. The external speaker is not loud enough. The lens of the main camera specifically on my phone is installed crookedly (it does not affect the shooting). When you quickly launch the camera by double-clicking the lock button on the screen, sometimes a window pops up on top of the camera with a proud inscription that I just used the quick launch, which is very difficult for instant shooting. Because of the curved screen, almost any protective glass pushes the case in the corners, I had to cut the case, later I refused the protective glass in favor of the case, for half a year so far not a single scratch. On the upper edge between the display and the body, you can see the gap of the screen above the front camera in the dark. The location of the lock button is inconvenient, sometimes I involuntarily press it with my fingers from the opposite side when I want to change the volume, also when the phone is lying vertically on its side, when I try to change the volume, the lock button is pressed through, I would install it on the top.

The product is average, Im not sure its worth the money.

I used iPhones, but 3 years ago I bought myself a Note 4. It was awesome. Mini-ipad and phone in one :) yes, I liked this "shovel" and I miss it. Galaxy S8 seems small after him, from the habit of chatting it was inconvenient because of the rounded screen - it constantly accidentally activated the Edge buttons. It is sooooo slippery, for example, you can’t press your shoulder, you are constantly afraid that it will slip out. It constantly slips out of the pockets of your trousers when you sit…

Pros
  • - Already built-in wireless charging, as well as a new type of charging. - Design. Purely subjective feeling.
Cons
  • - Very fragile and slippery, because glass on all sides is perhaps the only downside. - Charging is so-so, but not critical. - Bixby is a separate button that cannot be remapped.

Not the best quality, but overall not bad.

It may be mega-technological, but not very convenient: the Bixby call button is pressed all the time; the fingerprint reader is located so that it has to be groped; slips out without a cover, especially if you hold it with one hand. But the most unpleasant, although natural, is that the new and cool screen very quickly lands a battery that is not outstanding in capacity - a powerbank needed. In general, a very compromised device. If you need it to be beautiful, take good pictures and be able to

Pros
  • Good camera. Not afraid of water. Bright, colorful screen.
Cons
  • Low autonomy. Non-switchable assistant call button.

The product is usable, I expected a bit more.

switched from S7 (it was stolen by villains) and was disappointed in comparison, I didn’t find anything new / progressive for myself Pros below: smart, there is wireless charging (sold separately), in a monoblock with a battery (you can turn off the gadget completely = plus when searching) Has cons: "blunts" when unlocking and when working with the main screen, the stupid remote bixby button for some reason . turned out to be delicate and fragile

Nice price, good quality.

In general, if you are in doubt whether to take this phone, I would not recommend it, just for the show Has some pros I have never bought flagships, but I wanted to try something, so there is nothing to compare with. The old S4mini has become completely stupid, annoying. Compared to him, the S8 certainly flies. Communication speed is flying. In Almaty, I was somehow passing through, 4g showed 65Mb. It seems I have a slower rate on my home optics. The battery holds a couple of days with an…

Disgusting, not happy with the purchase.

Before buying, I resigned myself to fragility, watched crash tests, but I don’t agree with such autonomy: Samsung claims 16 hours of video playback, and it won’t be able to last even 4 hours! I'm going to apply for a guarantee: let them do something or return the money! I continue the statistics: I set the battery mode to balanced, the total number of bodies after charging is 12 hours 47 minutes, the screen is on in total 3 hours 3 minutes, not a minute of games, only Internet viber…

Pros
  • Excellent design, very pleasant to the touch, very fast
Cons
  • The battery life is just terrible: the phone is turned on for only 13 hours, of which the screen is turned on for only 2.5 and only 23% are left and they are melting before our eyes ! This is the most expensive phone I have ever bought and none of my previous phones held such a terrible battery! The phone is very fragile : almost any fall and you can break the screen and/or the back cover, and they are super expensive I always thought that the fingerprint sensor at the back is inconvenient, for those who doubt it: it’s not convenient for PPC - it’s not easy to feel it from behind, it doesn’t work very well; when the phone is on the table you can’t press it in any way, there is also face recognition: but this is definitely worse than the front print - it works more slowly, you often have to bring the phone closer, the bright sun has a negative effect, it almost doesn’t work in the dark, and in general the manufacturer admits that when accelerated face recognition (if not accelerated, probably wait 5 seconds, did not try) phone security by this method is not very good There is also verification by the retina, I don’t know about security, but it definitely works worse than the first two methods: you definitely need to bring the phone closer to your face, it doesn’t work right away, so it’s more like a show off Its whole design, no matter how loud it sounds, is by and large primitive: it’s just a piece of soap ending in a pleasant glossy black color and slippery like soap and it resembles cars whose headlights and taillights are painted (pasted with a film) black Today (the phone is 3 days old) I noticed a glitch: it doesn’t send / doesn’t receive messages in viber: there is an Internet on both sims, wi-fi too, no matter what I did / rebooted - I haven’t figured it out yet

Unsuccessful purchase, I am disappointed.

If you decide to take it, then only in an offline store, carefully checking the display. I took it online, I can’t return it, I would gladly change it to an iPhone. It would be better if they burned, then Samsung would at least recognize the problem. Got pros: The camera is good, interesting chips, always-on display. Got cons: The screen is RED! No patches fix this, they only turn the balance towards blue-green, but at any deviation from 90 degrees (for example, when it lies on the table), it…

I recommend to buy. Has some pros Excellent screen (Bright, juicy, detailed). Excellent performance (never lagged or slowed down, I didn’t use it in games, only video, photos, other programs). The camera is good (but as I wrote earlier about the Samsung A6, the camera is better in the A6, although there are more settings in the S8 - a personal opinion). The battery holds (with intensive use - in my case, 1 hour of calls during working hours from 9 am to 7 pm, every 10-20 minutes I enter instant

The product is completely satisfied, performs its functions.

In general, the phone is normal, but little nuances eventually start to piss me off Wouldn't recommend buying now. Got pros: The screen is simply amazing. Tactile sensations and appearance - just awesome (if you wear it like me - without a case) Someone - a nest for headphones Overall camera is good Moisture protection Got cons: Worst of all is the fingerprint scanner. It's just awful. Not conveniently located, works 1 time out of 5 Autonomy - sits down pretty quickly, for a day only in the…

Good product for me, no problems at all.

- The BixBy button does not interfere at all, I have never accidentally pressed it. You can reassign to call any application (or nothing) right in the settings. - E-books are quite comfortable to read, round edges do not interfere at all (on the contrary, they create the effect of "liveness" of the book) Sort by cheapness here on the Market - naturally got a bunch of "gray" dots. In one of them, I was almost "pricked", so I broke through the rest of the jur. bases: everything is very unclean…

Pros
  • I bought a Galaxy S4 after a long use, so make a discount on it - I, like after a bike with 3 gears, moved to a varnished Mercedes. - The first thing that fascinates in this smartphone is ergonomics. When you hold it in your hands without any covers, it's like a single piece of smooth glass in your hands. The rounded edges are so nice to touch that you want to cry. (Feeling like you're living in the future) - The glass is very cool, almost not easily soiled (choose it). You just need to take a piece of chocolate and move it to leave at least some traces. - The cameras are chic: I'm not a frequenter of instagrams, but for myself I took pictures with both the main camera and the front camera - it turned out wonderfully. All sorts of filters, hyperloops, super slow motions are included. Photos / scans documents (via Google Drive) perfectly - Side panels that are swiped out of the rounded edges. I use it all the time, it's very convenient. - Software buttons. I removed all the buttons on the screen, made them swipe, which I advise you. The entire screen is occupied by content, always - Regular ates; the phone is ated in 3 minutes - Millions of options! For example, you can download large files at the same time via Wi-Fi and 4G, which is really faster. Protected folder, night mode, etc. etc. - Defenders: prints, face, pupils. Works great, everything is fine with Samsung Pay. WORLD does not accept o. O. - No lags, freezes, reboots, overheating were noticed. I even distributed Wi-Fi from it and downloaded 30 GB Mortal Kombat X via Steam - the smartphone got a little warm - Charging holds for several days, very rarely I charge, although I constantly sit through 4G and distribute Wi-Fi. It charges in less than an hour (thanks to Fast Charge. all kinds of adapters are included so that you can take their microUSB from friends and use it) - I'll put BixBy in the pros - a small last point. More like a toy, but cool: in real cases it’s hard to imagine how you can use it.
Cons
  • - When you hold the smartphone horizontally, sometimes you pinch the speaker with your hand: there may be slight problems with games - There are no standard themes, and those that are are terribly ugly. I put myself a children's theme "Picnic" from the theme market, at least it looks aesthetically pleasing - Headphones in the set are so-so, although I did not expect anything from them. Their only plus is a chic wire that can not be tangled and you want to hold it in your hands (can you rearrange the speakers of my headphones in this case? hmm .) - The resolution is very non-standard, but all applications work perfectly. I decided to add it to the shortcomings, because the video has "black bars" along the edges, although you can stretch the video and crop the top and bottom. After half a year of use, I can say that in most videos you don’t need top and bottom :) For example, I watched musicals with subtitles and everything was perfectly visible

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

I am the kind of person who has always used Apple products. This is not paid, but a real review of a person who is tired of this lawlessness from the apple company. The days of Steve Jobs are over and I'm disappointed. Products have become monotonous, the quality is terrible, there is no support from Apple. ates come out every 2 weeks. In which they only patch holes from the jailbreak and compete with hackers "who has longer", well, they add new smileys :). It is a fact. Well, the trend now is…

Pros
  • - undeniably AMOLED screen; - widescreen and borderless. I will note this separately; - the design is just a nightmare; - IP68 - moisture and dust protection; - dimensions and weight; - 3000 mAh battery; - interface design, highlighting frames, buns from Samsung, applications, etc.; - a kit (2pcs adapters, charger, cable, AKG headphones! Well, where did you see putting headphones for 3k in a kit) transferred data from iPhone 6 to s8 in just a few minutes (photos, videos, documents, contacts) and all with the bundled cable and USB-TypeC adapter. Ambushurs; - performance (a fan of iOS, but due to the fact that the trend is just to release a new version of iOS every 2 weeks, I began to be disappointed in the operating system; - 12MP camera will not leave you indifferent; - samsung pay.
Cons
  • - unlocking the phone is a dance with tambourines. I use face recognition and fingerprint (I’ll tell you about the work separately); - few accessories (it's more a matter of time than a drawback), at the time of purchase there was only a film; - the camera frame sticks out (it will begin to wear off over time if you do not use the bumper or case)

I have been using it for more than six months, and still causes the most positive emotions with every touch. Attracts to itself with one appearance. Gorgeous photos are obtained, especially in daylight, and even with the restlessness of children. Unlock accustomed to fingerprint, you need to draw a picture only when you restart. It works quite fast, if I take my xiaomi husband’s phone after my phone, I feel like I took some old brick, although before that I used it myself and didn’t complain 😂

Pros
  • Camera, design, ease of use
Cons
  • There are blunders left

I was surprised by the quality for the price.

About the fingerprint scanner: with a slim carpet case, it is easy to use and convenient to use, but I don’t like the rear location. Its pros: 1.5 years of free service. VoLTE on MegaFon Camera, fire display. The Samsung shell does not look bad and ates come every 2 months. Wireless charger. MST chip. The iris scanner does not work perfectly, but it works well, and most importantly, it is safer than Face ID. Some cons: The run time is average, better than an apple, but the cheaper Chinese keep…

A nice option for the money, one of the best deals.

Haha, found my old post. I have been using this phone for almost 3 years now. And it still works great, nothing lags, everything is super. BUT! He's really, really fragile. I fell three times and every time it was tragic. The first is a strong chip on the screen and a cobweb in all directions. Changed screen. Then some slight fall and the rear window also went into a cobweb, although it was under the cover. And the very last fall on the asphalt, the top corner crumbled, it’s not even…

Pros
  • Yes, overall it's great! Outwardly, it’s just space, I use almost memory and still have not tired of admiring. For me, the screen is perfect, I love bright and vibrant colors. It lies very comfortably in the hand, I can easily reach everything I need with my right hand. The camera is just fire. Even in low light, the pictures are very good. Particularly pleased with the front. performance. I hope Android will not let you down, and over time, the smartphone will not start to freeze. Battery. That's what I didn't even expect, to be honest! My old galaxy s4 on the 4th year of life became very bad, the battery was not enough for half a day of active use. And here, the settings are at maximum speed, the Internet is on all day, nfs, music, vk, some kind of toy periodically and the charge is enough for the whole day. But it's practically not looking up from the screen. And if you use it adequately, then 50-60% of the maximum will be spent per day. The coolest thing is fast charging. I see no reason to charge all night. In the evening I loaded it, if you stick to the screen before going to bed, then in the morning these percent are 15, but at least 40 are charged up to 100 while you are going. Pleased with all sorts of branded chips. The blue filter after 23 hours is simply not replaceable, it is much more comfortable for the eyes. Always on display is a very handy feature, it cures addiction to constantly check the time, etc.😀 The face recognition function works very well. I don’t want to look at the eyes, it’s easier on the face, he recognizes well at an angle, and in a hat and in semi-darkness. Works in conjunction with a print. I realized that the main advantage of such recognition is on the street. Now it's cold, you can read the message without taking out your gloves.
Cons
  • Some quibbles, more related to habits. The speaker is a little disappointing. The sound is not bad, but it is one, if you block it with your finger, then the sound completely disappears. Headphones are good, but not the best either. If the phone is on the table, then you can’t just unlock it. Finger scanner on the back cover, the face at this angle is not scanned, only if you enter a code / pattern / password. Or, pick it up. There is no standard player at all initially, but I downloaded it, it is so-so. Bixby - it's not terrible, but it's annoying that it pops up on the lock screen too. It is a pity that it is difficult to match the film with the case, since the case basically lifts all the films due to the curved edges. And here is the main disadvantage so far - fragility. I never dropped it, but nevertheless micro-scratches appeared. On the back cover it is not clear why scratches appeared, and a scratch appeared on the screen after talking on the phone, and apparently from an earring! I was so shocked that I immediately pasted the film. Although on his s4 for all the years not a single film.

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

This is my first Samsung phone, before that I always wanted something with an apple, then I sat down on a Sony, paralleled with all sorts of Chinese phones (budgets) So, despite the fact that the phone has been bought very well to this day for more than a year and the wow effect is present, like you and other people !@ Headphones in the kit are just slag ! My Sony headphones it does not support 5-peak (faceted) and now I don’t know which earpieces to buy so that this phone will play at least…

Pros
  • Screen, camera, convenience
Cons
  • It heats up noticeably, the sound in the headphones is just a crash

Matches the description completely, very satisfied.

I bought it on January 5, I got the version for the UAE, with their charging plug, which is different from the European one, with Arabic inscriptions on the box and an Exynos processor inside. I took this one consciously, since there is no trust in Qualcomm after the disgusting Xperia S in 2022. I didn’t like the headphones in terms of sound, but this is subjective and only compared to the Beats In-Ear Tour. At my level of use, it lasts a day and a half. I did not find a matte film in the 2022,

Pros
  • + Fits in your hand + Small width + High performance + Bright screen + Sufficient operating time
Cons
  • - Includes Type-C cable with output to USB 2.0 - Arabic fork

I'm disappointed with my purchase, products are no good.

I used it for half a year until I dropped it, I took out the pink screen, dancing with tambourines did not help at all, with a magical replacement in a wonderful service center, the new screen was also installed with a red tint, and according to the service, this is not a marriage, although all the phones in the showroom - with a normal white screen color! a month later it starts to slow down, cleaning and dancing also do not help, only a hard reset. Samsung service is a separate song, posted a

Poor quality, I will not buy this product again.

Ordered on pre-order about 1.5 years ago. At first, the horse is fire, the screen is a bomb, it does not slow down, it pleases, it is a convenient size, the sensor is only in an inconvenient place. I ordered a case and glass. As a result, the glass did not fit, a bad touch due to the air gap, the buzz of the screen disappeared, I decided to stick a film. The cover sat down as it should, the sensor was faster and it was clear which side the screen was on. As a result, dust accumulated under the…

I like everything, the quality is good and the price is reasonable.

Pros: I chose this model for my daughter, because I myself have been using this one for more than a year, the phone is super, I’m not overjoyed after a stub, I’m always in touch, the charge is enough for the whole day, you don’t look like an abnormal socket at any opportunity. Everything suits, the only color ordered was gold, gold is written on the box, but it is natural steel. Of course, they were upset, there was even an impulse to return, but they decided not to waste time, or maybe the ner
