Samsung Galaxy S8 In 2024! (Still Worth It?) (Review)

[@Sci-Mon1]

i remember when i got my S8 in 2017. it was like holding a piece of art. such an insane design at the time.

[@Itx_alex_wink]

wgat are u doing here bro ? today

Nothing better than going back to an older phone to appreciate the insane technology that we take for granted

My samsung s8 worked beautifully for a while. However, it started to lag a lot and the battery didn't last long at all. Like in just a few hours it would be drained. How is your battery life on your S8 particularly these days?

[@fiber_king2334]

Mine doesn't have any burn in. And my eyes are perfect for things that are near.

[@Editor_Hound]

Still have it since early 2017. Still runs great. Yes, the battery lasts about 8-9 hours of hard use, yes, I have screen burn-in from Waze because I use it a lot in my weekly commute, but it's still a gorgeous phone and a testament that a fantastic flagship, if taken care of, will last a long time. Great build, feels really sleek in hand, really light.

[@ammo8581]

Does the phone still receive updates?

[@Editor_Hound]

@@ammo8581 Software updates? No, not since 2022. Same goes for security updates. But I have bought Bitdefender Mobility for the security. In terms of app support I still have the mainstream apps still available and receiving updates.

Does samsung last this long normally? Is it because it's flagship? Also, how you get 8 9 hours of sot? That's great.

[@Barry_Blaak]

My s8+ plus still works to date, I replaced the screen from dropping it too much the battery drains like an old iPhone 12

[@Eknowledge7]

I loved this phone so much before I switched over to iPhone. Now, I switched back to android, using the Motorola Razr 2024. I got an amazing deal on it and makes me feel just as good as I did when I got the Galaxy S8 but honestly better.

[@SteveRayDarrell]

waiting for the s8 vs s24 comparison!

[@sburton015]

I think a more interesting comparason would be the S8 vs A05. Both in like new condition you could buy for around the same price like $100 to $120. However the S8 was one of the top tier flagship phone from Samsung in 2017 while the A05 is the lowest tier budget phone of this year 2024. My guess is that the S8 will still perform better and have better screen quality and features than the A05, however, the A05 will have much newer software and a better battery life.

[@kusov4748]

Even today I think this phone looks better then new galaxy s24

[@maciejwolkowicz.]

Of course, old samsung designs like S8/S9 and Note 8 and 9 are the best in my opinion, you really knew that you gave flagship phone in your hands, now almost all samsung phones look the same and their deisgn is boring as hell compared to crazy S8/S9 era.

Still waiting for some reasonable model to retire my s8. One good camera (why I need 3-4?), not oversized, stylish look with edges, nfc, wireless quick charge, minijack, usb type C. It's not even nostalgia, just practical approach.

I just fixed my old s8 which I stopped using because I cracked the screen. But i wanted to bring it back to life so I bought it a new display and a 6000mah battery and it runs pretty smooth, bummer on the software side tho it is stuck on an old android version but other than that I have no complaints. I love the size and it's so easy to handle single handed, they don't make small slick phones anymore

I was using my s8 up until last year when half of the screen had a green tint, i thought it was just something i was watching but when i woke up the next day the screen glitched out and fully turned green, the only way i could use it was by completely lowering the brightness. Sucks, it was such a good phone. Anyway got a note 20 ultra now so😁

Remember this new in 2017. Destryoed it in 2019 and picked up an 2010. I just ordered a new battery for the s8. Both phones have terrible burn in to facebook messenger lmao

[@sburton015]

I guess in my life, I kindof feel like the Samsung Galaxy S8 where I am technically physically able to do work that pays well. The only problem for me is the software support, many companies don't want to hire me because my recore isn't perfect and my accent doesn't sound good when I speak and my self esteem issues. Just like the S8, it can technically handle a much newer version of Android, but the only problem is that Samsung never gave this device the opportunity.

[@xentiment6581]

Does it matter? Getting a custom rom on it is simple as hell.

[@JosiahMuwanguzi]

How much

[@DinoTheDinosaurROAR]

So, question for ya man. Does the curved edges bother you while trying to use this Samsung Galaxy S8??! Do you accidentally click shiit, do you hate it because that's the biggest issue with the phone?? Is the curved edges the worst part about this phone due to accidental touches and clicking on shiit??!... I'm asking because I do wanna buy it for myself and my wife one too, but we want to know from someone who has had this phone or reviewed it, and just aks like do the edges caused issues by accidentally clicking shiit or exiting out of apps or opening apps randomly just for holding it... Like WHAT exactly is wrong with this phone and do these Curved Edges cause ANY problems at all while holding it or while in your pocket??!!... Etc.. Etc.. Edit: PLEASE let me know what you think as far as your personal experiences with this phone and/or with experiences from others that you might've know that has had this phone in the past, thanks!!... Edit #3:... She just had to a GREAT question to ask you bro, how does the phone perform after the "Security Updates"??! 😅😅😅HAHAHA cuz we ALLLLLLL fkn know that as soon as you start "Updating the Security" on any phone after a year or two of purchasing a phorn, you go to update the security bullshit jdit for it to purposly start messing up and making you end up purchasing another brand new phone after a short couple of years!!! LMFAOOOO we all know their dirty trucks bro.. Also, Same Difference here, it's just like when Car Dealerships such as Jeep, Ram & Dodge for example because they're absolutely fkn FAMOUSLY NUTORIOUS for this shiit, they purposly make youbgo to THEIR Shops Dealership in the back, because they have secretive tools that only THEY can use to fix up your vehicle, tools that no one else is allowed to make & and sell or they'd get sued cuz the tools have patents on them and they can't legally be remade type shiit and I ly THEY can do the oil changes as well. Smfh 😅😅 it's totally fkn ridiculou bro!! But ANYWAYS, ANYWASY, Haha! MY POINT IS: This is how certain companies make their money the majority of their money, cuz not every day someone's buying a car! But every day you'll have people and their card fill up the shop bay getting shiit fixed cuz it mysteriously breaks down and needs repaid after only a year or two of driving off the lot and doing nothing but going home and yo work every day. Smfh 😅😅Hahs it's so stupid, greedy rich elites man.. Anyways, Lmfao, These cell phone companies purposely do "Security Updates" and to "Protect Your Phone" 😅😅 but in reality they fkn update you shiit download viruses, makes ur phone crash out in various ways per person so the system don't seem rigged/done on purpose!.. Each phone gets it's own issue to make them all seem real type shiit and the information that gets downloaded into the phone can't be opened unless you're from the phone company somewhere up high in corporate!! LMFBO BRUHH!! I'm so tired of We The People gettin fkn scammed by out OWN fkn Government bro it's just insane!!.. It's all done for money, like the current wars. And money laundering as well.. This is how the DUMBocrats get rich.. But ANYWAYS that's a whoooole diff story hahaha I'm just making crazy funny comparisons!! Lmao.. But yeah, we never do the security updates and just leave them at the top of the screen and key them keep popping up till we cns change the date on it to remind us a month later lmao then it pops up every fkn minth remindinh us to allow them to download viruses and very specific issues per phone! All so we have to go buy new eohoens type shiit!! Haha ahh man.. ANYWASY, AGAIN HAHAHA, ANYWAYS!!... So, uhhh, does the Samsung Galaxy S8 here have ANY issues with clicking shiit on the sides due to the Curved Edges??! Does it purposely rearrange the apps just form holding it lmao cuz if so then wtf you supposed to do? Hold the phone by it's frickin ears??! (figuratively speaking hahaha) You supposed to just hold it by the very tippy corner of the Got Dayum phones bruhh??! With your two eiddo fingers??! 😅😅😅 Like foreal. Bro what's the issue with the curved sides bro??! Any issues at all?! Or can we just hold it like normal??! Lmao we never had this type of phone before lmao don't know shiit about no curved edges n shiit!!, MY own phone ain't even got that shiit.. And also the fact that phone companies haven't even crated phones with a curved edge on ANY other frickin phone EVER after that came out, then that just goes yo shoe that there's GOT yo bro issues with it???! Right, or wrong??! Idk you tell me. Please!! Lol I Thaaaanks!! P.S. Even tho I high as SHIIT right now, I still seriously need to know about any issues with this curved edge shiit on this S8/S9 phones... Thanks!! PEACE!! ✌🏽😎✌🏽 LOL 😂🤣🙏🏽
