The Galaxy S8 and S8+ have always been some of my favorite Androids, definitely sad to see them already 2 software versions behind. But still, the phones feel premium, and that display is as gorgeous as ever. Join the discord! --- www.discord.io/91Tech​​​

S8 users where you guys at?

S8 was like 2 years ahead of its time at least. still feels like a high quality phone and a leap over the S7 by a mile.

I miss my S8. It's my very first android phone and I always enjoyed how it perfectly fitted with my hands cause mine are small. Lost it when I made a few cracks on it from dropping and water accidentally went inside. Didn't bother to fix it anymore as my father replaced it with S9+ purple which I'm currently using now. This feels rather nostalgic. Missing S8 and my father who died last year from Covid.. have a great day anyway if you're reading this. :)

Had it for almost four years now, it's AMAZING how it still feels like I just got it, got used to it so much that I still buy cases for it and I don't want all 30+ of them go to waste by buying a new one

Geez can't believe it's 2021 2017 feels like yesterday

I still have, use, and love my S8+.

"the camera is awful"? Omg, this camera is even better than most 2021 phones, even some flagships

This is the most beautiful piece ever. No other phone caught my eyes till now. Maybe I'm obsessed with this phone. I wish Samsung relaunch this model again without notch or punch hole.

Bought s8 in 2017 still no scratches no bugs works perfectly. I love it!

100% still worth it. Still runs like a beast and after having it for 3 years, my battery health is at 97% capacity. Love this phone!

I just traded my S4 for a refurbished S8 a few months ago. It does everything I need it do and more. Not everyone needs the latest and greatest. Besides, I'm cheap and don't want to pay an arm and a leg for a phone.

Got my S8 in 2017 still using it and am perfectly happy with it. Does everything it needs to do perfectly. Battery life is very decent. Love the brilliant screen; only one teeny tiny almost imperceptible scratch. Love the soft round edges. Since I use a case thee accidental touch is not a problem. Software: fast and reliable. I would say the camera is actually better than described in the video though -very pristine and sharp pictures. -Very happy with my S8 in 2021. =)

I still have a Galaxy S8. I've had this phone since it was released.

Actually, the Iris Scanner is really super secure, and the camera still takes good pictures and video to this day.

I've had my S8 since launch, I'm still pretty happy with it despite it not being on the latest OS and I, unlike so many, actually do love the placement of the fingerprint sensor.. When it's held in my hand my fingers naturally over it. As for the camera, well, I don't really take any photos. it's mostly only used as a chat phone for when I'm outside doing IRL. I can't complain, the battery does still last the better part of the day even though it's 4 years old. Screen still fine, not really seen any obvious burnin yet.

It was a revolutionary phone! One of the best phones I ever had...

This is literally the phone I'm using now

It's funny reviewers pushed so heavy that the fingerprint placement is almost a fatal issue. It took me about 2 hours to get used to it and never had an issue. With a case on it's especially easy to pinpoint.

I love how the comments section has so little negativity for this phone. It really is a beautiful piece of tech! It has my heart and mind! 💜

I had one till December last year. I upgraded to S20 5G and gave the S8 to my daughter. She loves it.

So, the fingerprint sensor never gave me an issue as far as placement and I need my headphone jack🤷🏾‍♀️

I've had the S8+ since the day it was launched. works like magic to this day. not gonna replace it until it turns off and won't turn on (unless the new S22+ will be worth the upgrade in a major way)

I still have my Galaxy S8 in 2021 I bought my phone the same month within the same week of hitting the market. It was the 1st time I ever researched, including all the phones on the market. for me and my needs it was the best Bang for my buck. That 1st week in April when the phone hit the market I made the purchase. It really stood the test of time for the whole 4 years I owned it. Only recently in the last month have I noticed the software where the reliability time start to break down. I think 4 years it came down to a $1.23 a day For me that's an unbelievable deal. I'd say if you're desperate yeah get the phone but set your money aside for something new. If you're like me the financial impact was better to buy the phone outright and do a prepaid plan. I intend to buy the Galaxy S21 outright and continue to do the prepaid system hope this helps this helps if you're reading this

I´ll never forget this amazing screen after years of small screens with large bezzles. This phone will ever have a special pleace in my smartphone history.And by the way Samsung gave the january 21 security patch. amazing.

Been using the S8 since 2017 still works with just about every app... though the battery life isn't as good as it used to be but that is to be expected...

Got my S8+ new in 2017, runs great still. Over the years battery life has slowly diminished (and it weren't for that) I honestly doubt it be looking to upgrade. Images from camera with minimal Google-Photo/Photoshop image enhancements still produce stellar shots.

Just replaced my Battery for $60. Good for another 3 years 👍

Really small thing that is underappreciated. Making your videos slightly smaller in frame so we can zoom in full screen without losing content. Thanks Josh

Watching this video to see if what I'm holding in my hand is still good😭

My friend just got a samsung galaxy s8 recently as a hand me down phone and he loves it!!!!

Still using it, still loving it. It can keep up and still run like a beast in 2021.

watching your great review on my s8, working like a beast after 4 years💪, if it ain't broken why change it

Remember that the snapdragon versions can’t use custom roms :(

I have S8 and this is amazing phone! Good size so its perfect to my small hands and works really good.

I've bumped into this channel 3 times. But I'm subbing today 😂 🌹

I've been using a S8 plus since 2017 and it still runs perfect battery life is really good despite having this for about 4 years now this is still a beast

i miss the ability to use the rear scanner to bring down notifications

Best phone I've ever had since brand new 2017 still using it and still loving it

I bought my S8 when it came out. It was and is still an amazing phone. Unfortunatly i lost it recently, so I have to get new phone, but S8 was amazing and hold a special place in my heart.

I like how honest is this guy. Keep it up!

I'm using it and still satisfied with it🍂

Love it. Running like a champ!

EXCELLENT VIDEO! Saw the recent all-points-bulletin that support for this model was stopping and pundits recommended immediate purchase of a new phone. After a cascade of events in attempting to purchase a new one [brand/model withheld... errors were no one's fault but just the way things go sometimes], I ended up buying, receiving 2 [wrong] phone models with all related goodies...but just returning them since. I never got the newest, latest and greatest...and now that I found your wonderful video, I see that for my needs, I am okay to keep this Samsung S8 for awhile longer. I'm bookmarking your show and will now check to see if its more advisable to buy a replacement battery vs. a new phone for someone who uses their phone 98% for very few calls and some occasional GPS direction. Thanks!

Watching on my S8 plus. Love this phone. 3 years and counting right now

My S8 still performs like a champ up to this day! A huge improvement over my crappy vivo 😌 still beautiful to look at even though it's a 2017 flagship 😁 only gripe on it is that damned fingerprint sensor beside the camera, it's an ergonomic disaster imo 😪 Watching this on my Snapdragon Galaxy S8

Still great! Almost every feature i need (nothing out right now can say that). I miss the ir blaster though

As a S8 user to this day, mine is absolutely amazing and is still running almost like new, I've had it since launch

I had this phone for 3 years. After I got the iPhone 11 I gave my s8 to my mum. She loves the phone and the only problem she has is battery life.

ive been using the s8 for about 4 years and i'll continue to buy it to this day. i fuckin love this phone

Am glad to have come across this coz it's the same phone I have been planing to buy and I can read many positive comments concerning it.

Watching on my S8. Best phone I had so far. 3 years and fighting!!!

love my S8, just replaced the charging Jack and battery (using KZbin vids). now good as new...

Watched this video on my S8+ and my phone is still working fine. The software update is a bummer especially when you see the newly released low end A series getting the latest Android 10!

Honest review out there ! Been using this gem since 2019, the resolution and colors are appealing

I have one and working excerllently. Cheers

Watching this on my snapdragon S8 and i still love it. Ill always love the display

I actually just upgraded from an S8 to an S21 one week ago. I have to say, the speed difference is very noticeable. Also, the battery is much better, lasting over 5 hours of screen on time (maybe even 6 if you push it), while my S8 maxed out at like 3.5 hours. It is much better overall. My S8 served me well though. I had it since October 2017 and it served me pretty well. As someone with an interest in software, it bummed me out that it didn't get Android 10 while my previous iPhone 6S still gets updated. I'm glad Samsung is promising 3 years of updates now. My S8 served me well though. It was decently fast, but did hang at times. I loved still having a headphone jack. I loved having a Pro mode on the camera to flex my night star shots that iPhones couldn't take. There was a lot I loved about my S8, but it was getting about time for an upgrade, and I'm happy I decided to get the S21. Despite the lack of a headphone jack, plastic back, and 1080p screen, it is a much better phone overall in pretty much every way apart from what I mentioned (but honestly the 1080p and plastic back I am fine with since I can't really tell the difference). It is way faster and not having to charge my battery before bed is nice, plus I'm interested to see what the 3 cameras can do, and I like the in screen fingerprint scanner. I would not recommend people to buy the S8 now, but it was a great phone for what it lasted me for. That's much of what made me stick with Samsung. I still have my S8, and it is quite a difference, but it is still an okay phone and was a great phone 4 years ago.

I might actually get one soon so I'm lucky to see this.

Your videos are very helpful. I still have a Samsung Galaxy S8 Smartphone. I like your suggestions on the Smartphone. Thank you 👍🇨🇦

i remember 2017 like it was last week. wow times have changed

Changed the battery. Its the perfect spare phone. Great video btw!

Man I’ll never forget when I from my s7 to this. Talk about upgrade??? Mannnnn this phone was on another level. The build design and display smh epic! The smoothness and everything. It was just all new and fresh

I still feel that no phone has beats it's design and it's feeling on hand

I always love that music intro...

After 4 years of using (and loving) my s8, I just got a new phone yesterday. It still worked perfectly but looks a bit beaten up as I dropped it a lot... i am really sad to say goodbye though. It was and still is a really good phone~

I've been using my S8+ for 2 years now and never had an issue with accidental touches. Also also, Install GCam if you want to breathe new life to the camera's performance but hey, for me, it still take good shots even with the stock camera app.

Good video Josh. Still using my S8, but seem to have lost the edge features. Miss the ruler. Andree

I haven’t asked in a while, but how are you doing Josh? Also great review from what I see so far!

I remember when my friend said dont buy the iphone X , get the s8 😂😂 . Shame for samsung demaning near 1k for less than 2 years of app support . While the iphone 5s still getting security updates

I have had an S8 since it was introduced. It is a fantastic phone. When it came out, it had features the Apple product didn't have, and I had fun asking my Apple friends if they wanted to see what the next generation iPhone would be able to do. I will be upgrading to an S21, or an A Series, fairly soon. The trade-in offers are attractive, and I can go from a phone with no software updates to four years of updates ahead, along with the camera and battery improvements.

I have this phone, I have the s10e as well, the s8 is still fantastic for watching videos on to this day.

Downloading GCam drastically improves the camera

My mother is still using her s8 and its in really good condition. Can u do a video on the 1st gen iphone SE

I'm watching this video on my Galaxy S 8 Active. The Active was made more rugged no rounded sides like the S 8s. Been using this S 8 Active for 3 years now and loving it.

I loved my s8! Unfortunately it suffered from an overcharge last night due to the little chip responsible for regulating the charge shorted out and I lost mostly some pics and stuff but lucky it was backed up (S8 users make sure you backup your data more often as the overcharge issue is a common discrepancy to that phone). I brought a Note 10 after that and I enjoy it but I do miss the headphone jack.

Great video! Btw my S8+ work very well! Everything works perfectly, the design is beautiful and I still have my HEADPHONE JACK!! Too bad that Samsung removed this port even if they have enough space to put it in...

Yep still got my S8+. Still happy, even with a loss of battery power. Still get about 8-10 hours with medium usage. But thinking of getting a 2020 galaxy note ultra by end of year.

It's amazing! Also can't believe you didn't mention it having the DEX mode...

Thought about getting the S8 this year when my old S7 broke, got another S7 instead tho. I love it so much and it holds up so well!

I have an S8+ with LineageOS installed, the performance is definetly better than my Galaxy S9+ and almost better than the S10+ with the Stock Samsung ROM, only thing that is bs with custom roms is the fact that you can only watch Streaming Services in SD Quality because it loses the Widevine L1 Certification

For me personally, I am not too bothered about Samsung warning you about higher brightness levels. Not just because it drains battery but also because my eyes can get irritated by the high brightness. It may be just me though. I understand your point though.

I have the s8 since 2017. It is a wonderful phone. I have people complimenting my photography skills(which I have none) using the s8. I agree with 95 percent with what you said in the video. Burn in is a big problem especially if you are using the Waze GPS on roadtrips during hot summers and the phone needs to be at the highest lighting and basically frying the phone. I still see the miles and the navigation stuff slightly on the screens. Also true that unless you have a great deal, which I came across this past weekend, I would keep this phone for a couple more years. But overall a really good analysis .

Thank you for the great vid! About to buy one for $55 with a little burn as a backup. Planning to Root and install Lineage as well.

I always wondered what would happen if Samsung adopted their own Tizen os and gave their phones 4 years of support. That would be pretty cool considering they make their own chips and their main competitor is apple

This was the time when the exynos version of the s8 was onpar with its snapdragon variant. Still my main phone. Can pretty much handle multi tasking. Battery is the only prob. can still hold up against some new midrange phones imo.

I've had my S8 for a few years now and have always loved it. The main problems I have with it are that certain apps (like RPGs) make it super hot, battery drains pretty fast usually , it charges really slowly with longer cords. Besides that, everything else is great. I've been thinking of getting the S10 but I'd most likely have the same problem with that regarding gaming lol (getting hot). I might get one though simply because it has better storage and better battery, along with all the other cool improvements. 💛 Also, did you just call that "burnin"?? When an image stays on the screen despite being in other apps and stuff. I've had that for a while too because most of my screen is pink and the top of it shows a search bar but it doesn't really bother me because most of the time I don't even notice it haha.

Still using my S8 and love it!

Wish I could still use this phone again, used it for 4 months then lost it,can't Afford one

Bought mine last year and I love it, it works flawlessly and I really don't care about the updates.

I had an A21 for a while. Just bought a S8 refurb this past summer. Feels like a massive upgrade.

this still performs even i use it at work, never had any issue aside from battery when many things are done simultaneously

I just bought a used one and I’m really loving it, especially utilizing Dex while on the go 👌🏾

I bought an S8 plus bleu when i turned 19, i turned 23 last November and i am still really happy with this phone. it isn't the fastest but the screen is amazing, also the battery life is like half what it used to be (6 hours of screen on time), but i'm planning to replace the battery for 15 euro's.

Still have my original S8, & take it everywhere I go. The OtterBox Defender case it's in is an absolute MUST!!! Still love this phone.

Got my s8 cheap on eBay a couple years ago- love it. Although I did get a notice from my carrier Pure Talk (on the AT&T network) that it might not be compatible after Feb 2022 when they switch to 5G and voLTE tech.

it was super expensive, didnt age well, snapdragon version has locked bootloader to, kinda sad since its a beautiful phone

S8 Samsung's best curved screen compact phone. For apple I like the 1st se and xs

I'm still using it! I take countless close-up pictures of minibeasts such as dragonflies and surprise all my friends with the sharpness and detail, scenery and people picks are very good too. I added extra storage as I take so many pictures - my actual camera is obsolete now! However, one corner of the phone is a little damaged, a screen protector is holding it all together. After watching your video, I'm not sure what I would get next, I like good value and don't need too many gimmicks!

Still using this..Works like a beast..4 years and more to go..no plans to upgrade in near time😌
