I have this phone for almost 2 years (since Sep 2018)
+ Camera is nice. I wouldn't change for a mid-ranger with multiple cameras.
+ Screen is nice and shiny. I've been using without a screen protector for a year and no disturbing scratches. I can spot very light scratches under light coming from a certain angle.
+ Processor is still going strong. I still have no problem regarding its processing power. However I must say that I don't play games.
I switched my iPhone SE because I wanted a decent camera and a screen at a reasonable price back in 2018. And S8 delivered exactly what I needed. Magnificent front and back cameras, gorgeous AMOLED screen, faster LTE connection.
But now things have changed. First the battery. I can still get 5 hrs screen time but stand-by usage increased without any doubt. I have to charge daily, even if the screen time is at 2 hrs. I'm not a heavy user; only communication needs and some browsing. Phone gets hot quite easily. I believe these two conditions are connected somehow.
Even though I've been using the device with almost identical apps installed, the phone has become sluggish. It stutters on screen animations and at certain tasks like switching to the task manager or jumping to the home screen.
I believe this phone was the most balanced design of Samsung in recent years, and I had a happy two years with this device. But right now, I wouldn't recommend if you're looking for a new device at a low price point. It's good to keep if you already have one, but it's too late to get a new one.

Hi. After the 1 April 2020 security software update, my battery started draining like there's no tomorrow and gets warm with normal usage. I get 60% of usage compared to before. I did a factory reset as well - and you know what a task that is.. And still no difference.
It was running really well before that.
So I would urge you not to do the last update. It will mess up your phone really badly.

Although I've always had Samsung phones, the prices have just become crazy now...

Yupiii, 15 Apr 2020please tell me, is it still worth buying for 2020I suggest S9 is better choice than this as it has Android 10 and 1 more year support than S8 and price is almost reduced to that of S8. Also you can go with other phones available for same budget

Yupiii, 15 Apr 2020please tell me, is it still worth buying for 2020I would say no. It doesn't get any Android updates anymore and monthly security updates will be quarterly next year. And after that there won't be any more security updates.
