To avoid conductance (shorting it out), cut a pointy plastic sliver (wedge) off a plastic hotel room key or old credit card, and get in there and scratch the bottom of the charging port until you get all the lint, grease, dust, dirt, insects, and small animals out of it. When you're done, the bottom will be clean and shiny and your charging port will work again. Did mine, the cord 'snaps' in again and doesn't fall out, and it works like new. Took about 15 fussy minutes, made a hell of a mess..

          maggie, 28 Mar 2023trying to find out if the S8 can be used with the 4G/5G net... moreYes 4g will be OK but NOT 5g as the S8 is not a 5g phone. So in short -Yes it will work but you won't get 5g.

            Have this phone since the end of 2017/early 2018. Battery never replaced, a bit of burn in, never cracked the screen. A big pity that the charging port barely works anymore but it has wireless charging. No idea when basic apps won't work on android 9 anymore.

              Old but gold.
              Using this phone for a good 4 years now without any problems and 2 years with cracked screen.

                Luca183, 09 Apr 2023Old but goldYes i agree. I bought one used. Screen has a little bit burn but i like the speed and the battery life.
                12-15 hours pleasant use.

                      SamsungLove, 01 Apr 2023very good phone!! I still use it as my main phone eventhau... moreThe S8's battery life was never the best but it certainly was competitive when compared to other phones on the market with similar specs. I would seriously consider a battery change if you are intending using this phone for the next year or so. Ok, the phone will probably never last the whole day, even with a new battery fitted, if you are a moderate-hi user. BUT I think you will see a big enough difference to justify doing it.

                        very good phone!!
                        I still use it as my main phone eventhaugh I have a newer galaxy A53 for two reasons:
                        1- I costum rommed my S8 to android 13
                        2- even with android 13, the S8 feels faster than the A53

                        the only problem is the battery. It can barely get 70 minutes of battery life while gaming.
                        Note: mine wasnt repaired since bought in may 27 2017
