Worth it!

Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2017

This phone is amazing! 1st of all because it was unlocked and I already have metro PCS. I took it to them and they were easily able to get it set up. One TIP is that this come with a european plug, but all you have to do is go to the website and send an email explaining that you need an american attatchment and they will ship you one for free, I recieved two! This is what I sent them, "Hello, I recently bought an international version of your unlocked Samsung Galaxy S8. It said to contact you if I was in need of a charger that fits American plugs. How do I go about getting one of these and how much are they from you?" This is what they replied with, "we will ship you USA plug for it free of charge." All I did was click on seller information and put it in an "ask a question." As for the phone it is very smart and connects well with other devices, such as a smart TV especially a Samsung Smart TV. Bixby is the "siri" for this device and works great. It adjusts to your needs and even tells you people who you frequently contact at a certain time. This phone is easily customizable and the more you explore with it the more you will find. Battery life and speed of charging is also phenomenal.

Fraudulent description, locked to a totally different provider.

Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2019

The Galaxy S8 is a great phone, if it would work on your provider's network. I'm currently using another Galaxy S8 which I have bought from another vendor and it works perfectly. So I wanted to buy this one as a gift for my wife on our anniversary since it says on the description that it's unlocked. Unfortunately it did NOT work on my carrier (Metro) while on description it says that it's compatible with it. Metro representative advised us to check with Samsung's website itself and we were shocked to find out that this product was Locked to AT&T, that misleading description ruined our anniversary. So I had to return it. Not to mention that it cost me screen protector and a wallet cover which are hard to return since they were from 3rd parties and the fact that the phone was locked to a different carrier unlike the item's description would have nothing to do with the vendors of its accessories and of course the won't return their product upon other vendor's fault. Thanks a lot for the fraudulent information and the multiple loss of my time, my money with accessories and most importantly, RUINING MY ANNIVERSARY.

As you can see in the pictures the condition is excellent and I got what they promised (an international phone that activated OK with AT&T)

For all those haters that just like to put bad stuff without being informed

International phones will show sometimes the logo, boot image, sound etc of the last sim card that was previously used in the phone

Once you put your sim card it configures the phone and changes all so you get your carrier packages of apps etc..

Mine went from t-mobile to AT&T with no issues

Last note : the U at the end of the model means unlocked! (See pictures attached)

About the seller not replying... I had that impression too but stupid Amazon app won't tell me when the seller has replied my requests

I checked my email linked to my amazon account and he did reply the very next day.

So stop it.. Pls and Google things first

Good day!

I have the phone for more than a month now, it's a beautiful phone, the display looks great, I can copy my photos and music and whatever I want freely to the computer and back unlike on an iPhone. The fingerprint sensor is on the back - not as comfy as the front facing old iPhone sensor but it's usable. it's not a one-hand phone it's a bit bigger than that and I have big hands. I love the pairing with the S3 Gear and the Samsung Health App. It has face unlock and fingerprint reader and passcode. I miss the dedicated silent button from the iPhone this needs to be UNLOCKED before I can silence it but there is a completely unnecessary Bixby button. There should be a silence button instead of that. The camera the iPhone camera is markedly better I'm sorry to say that but looking at the photos I took and I take now I can see it. Overall I think this is the best Android phone you can get I might also get an iPhone but not the X that is hideous with the notch the protruding camera and the glass back - maybe a 7 or 8. Hope they'll come out with something better and I also hope Samsung LISTENS to users. We don't want the Bixby. We want to be able to remap and reconfigure anything this coudl be your true ace vs iPhone that will never allow it.

Exactly as advertised. I was nervous due to lack of reviews, that's why I am putting this.

SM950F Upgrading from an S5 using straight talk bring your own phone. I did have to get the $59 pack from walmart but only used the nano sim to replace the existing sim that was too large, so I still have the service plan for next month. Switching from one phone to another was a breeze using supplied cables and adapters. Although it did transfer apps but not passwords, for example my wink hub app went over keeping all switches and routines but I had no clue what many of the passwords were. As I was dealing with a dead old phone i could just reset them via that before wiping it. The mains charger has European prongs but I have many USB wall chargers so no big deal. The factory headphones are worse than my $30 ones. But the phone itself is a dream compared to an S5. So much quicker and no lags

Phone is dope as hell , battery is no so good but it's tough as nails , the autocorrect has gotten me in big problems when I'm trying to write is Spanish or Spanish names, also when I'm using my notes and it changes the numbers I just wrote down very annoying so watch out for autocorrect with this phone

Epic Connectivity

epic connectivity. I am currently writing this review using a Bluetooth keyboard, and old fashioned wired USB mouse (connected with the Samsung includes USBC to USB connector), wired headphones, and smart link connection to a SmartBeam Laser projector. so basically what I'm saying is that Samsung has achieved the desktop experience through a smartphone. and all of this was set up in under 5 minutes on a Sunday morning.

only criticizm I have, which has frustrated me for years with Samsung, is that the phone form factor is still too big. yes, I knew this when I ordered it, but there's no other way to get all these features with a smaller screen. maybe one day Samsung will make an iPhone SE Slayer in the S9 mini?

Much easier for calls, messages and data transfer. I found it to be much easier to use than the iPhone 5. So far I have not found anything I have not liked other than having to go on the internet to get good instructions on how to use.

If you plan to activate the phone with US carriers you will not get 4G data service. You will get HSPA which is a little slower and good enough for most people. Everything else will work. For example if the phone's IMEI number is not in AT&T's database , then LTE will not be supported. AT&T does not provide a solution such as adding the phone's IMEI into their database when you contact them. This is how they and others discourage people buying phones from others. The sellers won't tell you this. AT&T and Verizon will not tell you this. Your congressman will not do anything about it. Oh well there are other things more important in life.

UAE Duos Version Received

Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2021

UAE Duos version received (not the single SIM version I ordered). 2nd sim slot shares the space for the memory card and it is either/or. You cannot have 2 SIMS and external memory at the same time. Fast performance and it is a nice looking item. Don't really prefer the curved screen edges. Bixby capability is not interesting to me but is hard to ignore. Touchy performance and I make unintended actions often.
