I am really satisfied with the purchase of this phone. For half the price of an IPhone 10, It has most of the stuff on the IPhone 10 plus more.

Upgrated from an iPhone 6 and have no regrets. It has expandable storage up to 256gb, which is great for those who want to take their music collection on the go. I've also noticed that there are a lot more customizability and personalization options when compared to an iPhone.

First, take this how you will but I upgraded from an S5. Your mileage may vary- upgrading from an S7/S7 Edge will likely impress you less.
For me, this upgrade was pretty phenomenal. The S8 is better in basically every way- it has more than double the battery life (I can go 24 hrs on one charge), fast charge, wireless charging out of the box, better water resistance (my S5 towards the end basically leaked like a sieve), a way better screen, more CPU/RAM and internal storage, and a way better camera overall- better focus, clarity, picture both front and back facing. And of course, it just plain looks cool.
Only cons I can think of: it is noticeably heavier, longer, and does not have a removable battery. Also, it definitely looks more fragile due to the glass on both sides- I would not want to use this without a case for sure. Lastly, I have had a heck of a time finding any kind of screen protector that works. For my S5 it was easy- the first tempered glass protector I got was the last, it lasted 3 years. For this one, I've tried 3 of them already- one glass, one wet application, and one film. All had problems- the glass reduced touch sensitivity and collected lint, the wet app peeled off at the edges, and the film gave the screen a grainy look. I'm actually thinking of giving it up and going bare screen.
One last note: if for some reason you're getting this for Bixby, don't. It doesn't really do anything, I use Google Assistant. Also, the biometrics are kind of so-so. As many have noted already, the fingerprint sensor has a weird location, and I've also found it isn't much more reliable than the S5's despite lack of swiping. Face unlock only registers one face, and it can't tell if it's you when you put on glasses (or vice versa, depending on what look you registered). Iris scanning can't be used in combination with face unlock, which is weird. Fortunately, Android 7.0 also has auto unlock at location, so I can have the phone just stay unlocked at home or in the office.
Overall though, I'd say the downsides to this device are quibbles. It's a darn good phone- best one I've owned. Virgin is offering it pretty cheap too, relatively speaking- and it comes in whatever color you want (as long as it's black).

So much faster, so much longer battery life! I waited until the price was reasonable, and was surprised it did so quickly. Hats off to the staff at Best Buy and Samsung for making the switch from my Samsung S3 to the S8 so easy.
