Samsung Galaxy S8+ (2017)

WOW Samsung S8 screen – 1- I was very satisfied with my phone ever since my husband purchased my Samsung S8 phone in 2017 . 2- the brightness was really good the only thing l did not like is when the battery was going low it will dim my eyes not being the best this could be so frustrating. 3-Yes l do lm a nurse and have my nursing app on there so so l use it for lots of… Read more

checking in my visits checking out ..lnstagram l do some content creating also on the side of nursing. 4-My Phone is really old now so not working as good as lt was going to get it fixed as l dropped the phone but haven't as yet as l was told it will cost me $300 for a new screen so waiting to have more funds for a new phone as the screen on the S8 is curved that was my only negative objection.

Faulty phone from Kogan, do not use Kogan!! – Fact... Phone was faulty. Fact.... Kogan are absolutely terrible. Fact....Eclipse BT technology are worse. Fact.... I have waited 6 weeks for these "people" to reply after claiming that Aust post is at fault. Fact.... I am down $379 Fact..... I still have no phone. Fact.....I email them every couple of days, hoping that "someone" will respond.… Read more

Fact....I will never use Kogan again, and I warn others not to, as this is the 2nd time this has happened. Fact... That pander to you with emails claiming they are treating as a priority, but in fact, I am still waiting..

Love it – I have had this phone for over a year now and not once has it let me down, it is a fantastic phone and the only thing I dislike on it is that It get used and have to charge the battery. The camera is brilliant - love the stabilization mechanism they have, the pictures are vivid in colour and dynamic and night time pictures are great also. … Read more

Speed of the phone is great, no freezing no problems, no lagging what so ever and when I bought it - literally not long after it came out I literally paid less than the S8 and mine is a S8+

I love the fact that Samsung managed to get rid of the bottom buttons, they used to incorporate on their phones, as they used to annoy me and with this phone I don't have that problem. I use it from turning on my air con to gaming to emails and off course music. It is very simple to use

The sound is fantastic - crystal clear - signal strength great

I took off 1 star for this reason, it is a type C USB - which is good - Type C USB is something like USB 3.1 - now unless you have the latest PC with these ports its not really useful, but they have advantage that the port is not one way insert you can insert it on both sides and the speed between a pc with a USB C port is meant to be faster - now after that long discussion on chord I will state that USB C is expensive I think its about 25 dollars for another chord, so this is a draw back to some degree having only 1 chord

Now would I recommend you to go out and buy one?

this is a hard question and have to answer it in regards to whats happening within the future - 5G is coming out, over 10 times faster than 4G, so in saying this and the fact S9 is out I would personally wait till 5G is out - in regards to S9 the only difference is the camera really and new emotes type of thing. But if you can actually pick this up for a good price and I mean really good price it would be worth buying and using it for a long time as even though 5G comes out you can hold off.

I am in love – What do I love about my phone? 1) the colour. a gorgeous, beautiful, lovely metallic purple. love it. Also the curved screen is super pretty. Plus I love a large screen. Dims enough to read without the lamp and not ruin your eyesight, bright enough to use on a very sunny day. 2) the camera! I surprise myself with the photos sometimes! Colours… Read more

are lovely

3) The OS. I am not an Apple person. Not even an android person. I am a Samsung OS person. I love it. It's so easy, consistent, and not too irritating in those areas where android does it better. I like that I can turn bixby off, because honestly google is better; and you know what? The samsung OS is totally cool with that. Plus there's all those little indefinable things that make android better than iOS... ability to customise, power saving, (Headphone Jack!!!). And samsungs edge menu is so handy. + the ability to close all your apps with one button!

4)the speed? I don't know how this goes as a category, but I can say my phone has never, ever frozen or run noticeably slower than usual or anything like that.

5) storage. between onedrive, samsung cloud, 64GB on my phone and 32GB on my sd card, safe to say this has not been a problem. I have my phone and photos backed up on samsung cloud and thats it; all my photos are saved on my sd card and my phone storage is not even half full despite all the apps and random documents and software

2023 & half the price of comparitve current models – Still working well with all features this S8+ wax built well Show details ·  1

Great phone best I've ever had – Great phone. Works 100% everytime i need it. Fast and easy to use. No lag whatsoever. Can do multiple functions. Doesnt miss a beat. Works EVERYTIME. I highly recommend this phone. Show details ·  1

Great phone, fast – My Samsung Galaxy S8+ has ran for years without a glitch. Still works great today. It may be a great second hand type phone if you can pick one up cheaply. Quality device all around. Also, removing or better disabling bloatware from Samsung phones is a must imho to save battery life. Show details

Head ache – I have been using Samsung for many years, until i got s8+, i have already paid more the $400 in repairs for charger port alone, And the funny thing is that still under warranty. First time they i took it to Sumsung, they said that i have damaged it, i said no problem i will pay, so i did, few months later, my phone had a notification that the… Read more

charger port is wet, i took it to Sumsung and they said that i have damaged it, so i took it to a repair shop to get another opinion, and guess what? The technician said to me in the exact words " i make my living from Samsung charger port mate" and he said get your self wireless charger cause you can never fix this problem and Samsung will always say that you damaged it like they tell the other thousands customers. I must say, the other samsung Galaxy i used where good, but not s8+ don't buy it.

Faulty product with very poor support – I have had this phone for 1 year in which time it has broken down twice. Samsung wont even give me a replacement phone to assess it in sydney, pathetic!

Samsung this the best – Since switching to samsung a few years ago i have noticed samsung has a easier more relaxed approach to what you can do with the phone such you dont need itunes to add music or videos or apps simple download and install Show reply

Still great in 2019 – I purchased this pre-owned in 2018 for $550. Considering it was released April 2017 at $1,349 I found that great value. Love the infinity edge display with high resolution and punchy colours. Single lens camera maybe lacking in this day and age but still takes top notch photos in day or night. Updating to 9 and One UI modernised the phone and make… Read more

it feel quite speedy. Overall, if you're not fussed about having the latest tech then this phone is still powerful enough for the average user in 2019.

All great but fragile screen – Love huge screen, long hours battery, edge display. But edge screen is very fragile, broken 3 times in 2 years. And repairing fee is over $300. Just geta nice protector. Show reply

Great Phone and good price – We bought this Phone one month back. after reading reviews i was bit worried. Thank god i bought it. Works great Camera best one so far i have had. Chagrining phone is dream 1hrs fully done

Awesome, but should be perfect – The camera, size and software are in general excellent. The only problem is the same one of almost all new smartphones, battery and it is fragile. But overall it is making me really happy. Show details

Great phone – This phone is excellent can't live without it I switched from Apple product to this phone and its the best ever phone very easy to use can't find fault with it Show details

Good phone - Good Size - Good performance – Have had this phone for a while now, bought second hand of off Ebay, First Samsung phone - besides the Nexus I have owned, Quiet happy with how the performance/features are, Lasted pretty well. However the shape has always gotten to me, pulling phone out of my pocket the wrong way around a hell of a lot and the stupid bixby button being pressed… Read more

all the time.

However for the money - $350 has been an outstanding handset. I wouldn't of bought this product new unless it was less then $500.

Camera is faulty and Samsung refuses to fix it – Many Samsung Galaxy s8/s8+ are sold with faulty cameras (google 'samsung s8 camera blurry'). I should get compensation/refund since Samsung sold me a blatantly faulty product but they refused it because of a small crack on my screen (unrelated to camera). Samsung is aware of the camera hardware issue. They need me to pay to fix my screen, before they can fix the phone's faulty camera (even though I don't need/am not requesting a fixed screen). Show details

I love this phone – The Samsung Galaxy S8+ is stunning from every angle. It’s easily the slickest Android phone I’ve ever held, and makes the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus feel old-fashioned in comparison. It’s futuristic – but it doesn’t sacrifice usability for style The 6.2-inch screen size sounds huge, especially since the majority of larger handsets stick to… Read more

screen sizes between 5.5 and 5.7 inches. The last flagship phone I can remember to sport a 6-inch display was the Motorola-built Nexus 6 – and that was a nightmare to use. But it’s a different story here. This is a big-screened phone that feels great, and credit has to be given to Samsung for crafting a phone that feels this good.

Great phone – I got this phone for work purposes and it it has been great never had an issue with it at all, it's easy to use and has a good amount of storage space. You can get them in different colors which I love and also the curved glass is a great feature as the screen feels bigger when your looking at it compared to other phones. I wouldn't recommend the Samsung s9  Show details

Beautiful phone and super easy to use – I'm happy with the quality of this phone. It is easy to use, good resolution, easy yo set up, nice size display and easy on the hands. I've had it for 4 months now, upgraded from the s5 and it was a nice change. Love the big screen, the quality of the photos and the features of the phone. Brilliant design.  Show details

Great phone – The big screen is great, and so is the full edge feature. The phone is fast and the quality of the screen is fantastic. The only negative is the reliance on Samsung to provide updates to android. If you are a IT guru maybe give it a miss and go for the pixel. However for most users it is great.  Show details

Big screen, great camera, Android software! – Bought this to replace an aging iPhone. It was instant regret for the 1st week. By week 2 I'd mastered the samsung basics and forgotten about the iPhone's user interface which nearly sent me mad. The drag keyboard is excellent. Battery life is outstanding with the best feature being the fast charge 0 - 100 in about 80 minutes. The only let… Read more

down is samsung only provide a 6 month warranty on theur accessories - the fast charger supplied with the phone died at month 7.

Best phone purchase I've made to date – Fantastic phone, owned it for over a year now and have never had a fault. I use it constantly for messaging, social media, 2D gaming and browsing web. Camera quality is fantastic in high and low light conditions. Fast charging has been a life saver and has never failed. Highly recommend.  Show details

Great photography at night – I bought it 3 months ago and so far I like it so much; Great photography Great voice recorder with transcribing feature High resolution screen Multiple screen feature Battery works for about 24 hours with moderate use Heart rate measure Negative point: the location of the finger print sensor is not easy to use  Show details

Perfect.! – It's is an excellent mobile phone and I'm so happy with all and can not live without it! The screen , quality of camera , menu and everything is perfect . Very fast connection with the car and can't compare with my previous mobile phone connection! I'm using my finger print to use this phone and so happy with it.  Show details

Good phone with clear picture – Very nice phone. Got it this year from one of the leading retailers. User friendly. Best picture quality and sound is also very clear and loud enough. Good one to get if yoi are into Android or Samsung. Happy to choose this one. No issues so far, been a few months. Really good and easy to use.  Show details

Good for work – The Galaxy S8 Plus is the Android phone you want if you like big and tall smartphones. The amazing display, great camera and slick software should make you forget about the awkwardly placed fingerprint scanner and the half-bake Bixby assistant. It is much better then the s8 great for work. Overall it’s a great phone  Show details

(Mostly) Great Phone, Terrible Customer Service – This is a great phone. Software has constantly been updated and it remains responsive 9 months after purchase. Unfortunately, I had an issue with the Charging Port corroding. Customer service attempted to justify this by saying that even exposure to sea air would cause this. Needless to say I was unimpressed. Phone repair took a long time as well.  Show details

Best phone in 2017 and still great in 2018 – Amazing specs and delivers every time. The battery lasts a day which is great. The price is a little expensive but what get is ridiculously good. Camera is excellent and gives crisp and vibrant colours. Also works with tons of Samsung accessories. Happy with my purchase and would buy a Samsung phone again  Show details

Great phone – Pros: Great high end specifications. Extremely efficient use of battery power compared to my previous Note 5. Good value for money. Great features. Works great with Samsung peripherals such as the latest Gear 360 and Gear VR. Cons: Camera could be better. Curved screen means it's hard to get a good screen protector to fit. Overall: Great phone for it's price compared to the latest Note 8 costing $1500 at the time.  Show details
