The battery isn't the best but it charges really fast so doesn't really matter. Sure it may be over 3 years old but it's way better than any other phone Samsung has to offer and cheaper than the newer S and Note phones that cost a fortune. The S8 will for sure give us atleast 2 years of good use.

Might sound surprising, but I ordered this phone in October 2020. I was told by my friend that S series are sleek and look stylish and also have curved glass. I went to a samsung store near my place and after hearing the price of S10, I purchased Samsung M01 and returned. :D. But couldnt remove S series from thoughts and started searching for S Series mobiles on Google. I was looking for S series mobiles with low price range. And after continuous search I saw this Samsung S8 mobile burgundy red color and cost was around 33K. I was so very interested that, I forgot the basic sense that purchasing this 2018 release at this price is a foolishness. But i didnt have a choice, mainly because of the size of the phone. 5.8inches is still worth in 2020 especially because of the size. When i first received this phone, it was consuming battery like anything., I was disappointed with the performance. But later i googled youtube and online and started battery saver options. And it was better. I dont really do gaming or watch movies on mobile cause my main purpose is mails and calls. Even now i use my phone is optimized mode due to which the calendar doesnt sync. But thats fine. I am not a huge fan of syncing calendar. After the pie latest update in November, I feel the battery is little better but still continue using in optimized battery save mode. It serves my purpose. I am sure S10 and other new models have a better battery backup. The fast charing option or the normal charging option doesnt really have major difference. The normal charging also charges pretty quick. Also, I use dual sim. And i have tested in S5 that if you are using single sim the battery performs better and if you are using dual sim there is some pressure on the battery. More than personal calls I receive lot of office calls. So the secondary number is on full use. In 2020 it doesnt make sense using a second phone for second number, unless you have 4 sims to handle :). It also came with Dual messenger option. I never use Bixby button so its kind of dead button for me. The camers is really good at this price range. I was told that this November patch would be last update for S8 so not sure, how long it will support me. But so far I am happy but would not say extremely happy.

Using this phone since April 2017, still going good, just had to replace the charging base once, as it was giving problems and was not fast charing,luckly it was still under warranty, and Samsung replaced it with an hour,other then that no issues what so ever :)

Only thing is sometimes notification sound soft even set at max, maybe it's the tone i set. But am sticking with it for a long time as still looks premium to-date. Hate the new punch hole style

You will also find that the battery does not deteriorate/degrade as quickly over the same period of time as S6's S7's. I was using the S8 Plus (now have S20 + 5g) for over 3 1/2 years and still getting decent SOT from it. The S8's are great.

WiFi connectivity is just great no heating issues and doesn't lag. Stay with S8 in fact about the only other phone i will consider is the S10 but don't see the need to change. Go for it

Ok. A tad extensive, but here goes:
- Really great phone and a massive upgrade from the S7 Active, I had before!
In terms of IPX-rating, they are the same, but battery life is MUCH better on S8 than S7 - probably down to S8 running Android 9 (which improved my old Xcover 4's battery life markable!).
The bigger screen is in no way needed but works really nicely - and as the frame is smaller, phones are similar in dimensions.
It's annoying with the curved screen (finding protective film is hard and the curve makes the screen easy to crack - panzer glass is, however available), but buying an armored case solves a lot - not least the queerly placed fingerprint reader.
I would any day replace my S8 with an upgraded Xcover (preferably with Xcover 3 frame) if they focussed upgrades on the camera; the S8 is brilliant, but Xcover-phones features changeable batteries, properly good built frames, and sizes that will actually fit in your pocket.
But S8? Better sound quality, better build quality, better WiFi connectivity, and, frankly, a better experience than the S7.
I doubt the difference between S8 and S9 is as great as the S8 to S7...
Don't buy the newest - you'll be fine with S8!

S8 is getting security update file size over 400 mb . My note 10 is getting normally 200 mb approximately. For s8 this much size is not normal i think.
