This is the Phone of the Decade
I am honestly astounded by how beautiful and advance this phone is. Coming from an iPhone 6s, this is truly an upgrade worth getting for the price.Firstly, the screen is absolutely the best you can get on the market on any phone right now. It has a beautiful 5.8″ Quad HD+ Super AMOLED (2960×1440 resolution). This makes the colors, contrast, and blacks more vivid and pure. The pure black is pixels turned off when they aren’t needed. This gives an amazing black color and helps a bit with the battery not needing to display extra pixels. The screen also employs Samsung’s “Infinity Display”. This creates a nearly bezel-less design on the front screen which gives can provide more information on the screen. They have removed their physical buttons, but it’s really noticeable after a few minutes. A feature that I have come to use quite a bit (with widgets and fast opening of certain apps) is the Edge. I am very glad they’ve introduced the Edge screen onto the regular S series. If you don’t prefer it, you can also turn it off. Samsung has also added an Always On Display. This shows the date and time along with notifications you receive. This doesn’t consume hardly any battery life (with only losing around 1% an hour)Software: Out of the box, it runs Android 7.0 (Nougat). It also does come with Samsung’s ‘controversial’ TouchWiz skin. However, they’ve greatly improved the experience and fluidity of the software. I have not noticed any lag with using it for some time now. It’s responsive and I personally enjoy the look of it. You can always download different launchers to your liking. S8 users should be able to get Andriod 8.0 (Oreo) within early next month.Hardware: this phone sports 64gb (along with MicroSD slot of up to 256gb of expandable storage) and 4gb of RAM. I am really happy with the amount of RAM and space that’s offered. With my iPhone, I’ve always had to load up the pages I was on again due to the low RAM, along with the very disappointing 16gb of Space (12gb in usable). This limited to using my old phone for daily news and chat apps, while hardly being able to play many games. This is definitely not an issue with the S8! I’ve downloaded many things that I previously couldn’t and I still have a beast amount of storage left. It’s also IP68 certified dust and water resistant.Charging: I love the Adaptive Fast Charge that Samsung offers for their products. It charges my phone quickly without it getting hot. The battery capacity is 3000mAh and fast for hours. I can go around 4-6 hours of Screen On Time while going around 12 hours in general. I am very happy with this as regular charging seems quite dated to have it on any (premium) phone.Camera: This Camera is truly beautiful and very detailed. I am surprised by how much I am using it. The photos are clear and crisp all with just one snap. Selfies are also detailed and great to look at. 8MP AF for Front and Dual Pixel 12MP AF for the Rear.Security: The S8 employs two different biometrics for unlocking your phone (along with the regular number/line password). The one we’ve known for some time is the fingerprint scanner (to which they have moved it right next to the camera. This is not a preferable location as I do hit the Camera often) and the new Iris scanner. The Iris scanner has been quite convenient, though you do have to be a bit close (and in light) for it to work.Voice Command: Samsung has added a new ‘Bixby’ to their phone line that is to be used similarly to Amazon’s Alexa, Apple’s Siri, and Google’s Assistant. There is a dedicated button on the left side of the phone that allows for Bixby to hear your voice for your questions/command. This button will also open Bixby home, which shows some news, events, personal widgets, and Bixby ‘levels’. That is right, you can increase the levels gained on Bixby by using it and helping it with feedback. This doesn’t lock you behind any level requirements to use it to the full. This only allows customization unlocks. This has been a controversial feature so far (as many find it unnecessary), though I have been fairly enjoying it. I really use it for screenshots. If you don’t prefer it, there are apps to redirect the Bixby button to use it for other apps.Overall, the experience is astounding and I wouldn’t trade it for anything else really. This is a phone that will feel premium for years to come. If you’re holding out, don’t wait! It’s an experience unlike any other.NOTE: I have covered the broad specs of the S8, however there are also smaller details that you can view on Samsung’s homepage if you want all the specs and information.

Amazing phone
I upgraded to this S8 from my S6 Edge since I was getting fed up with the capped storage capacity at 64GB otherwise I probably would have waited another year or 2. (And sun spots which burned permanent purple dots on my front facing cam. . .)This phone has some upgrades which I personally enjoy:-Battery Capacity. Holy cow. This thing actually lasts me over 10 hours of almost constant Netflix streaming with brightness at 75% with bluetooth wireless earbuds and that only bring its to about 30-35% battery. It then still lasts the rest of the day at 25% brightness taking it down to just about 15% battery. (I normally start charging it up once it hits 20% though)-Camera Function: Incredibly fast focus and quality. (Only minor con is that it’s not amazing in low light, using ProMode helps a bit though)-Smooth touchscreen with a lot of customization features within the phone itself.-Being an unlocked phone, minimal bloatware comes on the phone. (Sadly there are some things…)-You can easily turn Bixby off if you don’t like it. (The camera item search/translator is pretty fun though!)-Always on display is actually really helpful for me since I don’t have to reach over to see the time if I randomly wake up in the middle of the night. I keep it simple without a background and just colorized text, so it doesn’t seem to consume much battery even if it’s. . . always on. (You can also set it up to show during certain hours in a day.)-It still allows your to insert microphone jacks.-USB-C, I personally like it since I dont have to worry about turning it around to fit anymore. (Box also comes with some adapters.)-And obviously the MiscroSD storage. Stuck a 128GB card in there upon arrival.Some downsides on the phone:-Fully made of glass. It’s not cheap feeling in the slightest, but it makes you a bit more paranoid if it does fall. (Highly recommend a good case for this phone)-Wish this came with a non-Edge version. Honestly don’t enjoy it that much and causes issues with a lot of screen protectors, but I couldn’t pass up the sale on the phone.-Comes pre-installed with Facebook. I don’t use facebook so it’s just an annoying app chilling on my phone which I’d rather have completely uninstalled instead of just disabled.-Bixby button. . . well that thing is just kinda there. I don’t hit it often but when I do it’s just mildly inconvenient. Thankfully my case has little ridges on the button which make it easier to locate the volume when needed. The button can become an issue on some phone stands though.This phone was able to hit all the things that I want in a phone: Good camera, long battery life, adjustable storage, crisp display, and functional.All in all, I very much enjoy this phone with only minor gripes which aren’t enough to make me dislike the phone at all.(Yes, this phone works with most if not all carriers. That includes Verizon. You can even see this written on Samsung’s fine print for the phone. You may need to have the SIM card activated in another phone first then switch it into your S8.)
