Display is exceptional especially on the plus.
The display is crisp and clear. Runs smooth and looks great.
Not too heavy and the display is crisp and beautiful.
Best resolution on phone screen I have seen. Apps load quickly and run smoothly.
I enjoy the screen resolution and like the new update

Samsung Galaxy S8 Unlocked Mobile Phone

The S8 has the best display on the market. The phone is lightweight and powerful. Gaming and video playback are very smooth.
Awesome display and smooth interface.
I just bought a phone and first thing i liked was display with edge and sharp colors! Also when you watch videos on youtube, video will take full screen on phone and show you more view!
The edge to edge display further enhances the screen. Perhaps the best feature of the phone.
Love the edge display and how it works very well with the phone both locked and unlocked.

What customers say about "Processor"

Apple iPhone 8 4.7", 64 GB, Fully Unlocked, Space Gray

Processor is very fast so there is no lag in the performance.
Love my iPhone 8 plus, the processor is extremely fast my apps pull up very quickly.
The processor is very quick. Definitely noticed the quicker boot up time. I like the simplicity of Apple.
Love the faster processor. Everything is blazing fast.
So far I am undecided phone will shut off while in use haven’t figured out if it’s the new processor or an update that Apple has not sent out yet.

Samsung Galaxy S8 Unlocked Mobile Phone

Love processor speed, resolution and everything in general.
The graphic is amazing and processor of the phone is fast.
It has fast ram that makes it efficient to run many apps at the same time. It also has enough memory to download several apps.
Zero lag due to 4gb Ram and QS835 processor. Definitely the best video quality in the market right now.
The processor is nice and fast, and I feel that the storage space is adequate. Should storage ever become an issue it's upgrade-able with Samsung bringing back the SD mini card holder again!

What customers say about "Features"

Apple iPhone 8 4.7", 64 GB, Fully Unlocked, Space Gray

Louder stereo speakers: This might not be significant to everybody, however, it is worthy to me.
I really like the fingerprint scanner.
Water resistance is great and came in handy the week I purchased it, thanks to a rain storm while playing outdoor sports and my phone was left in my belongings.
No back button and menu area on the touchscreen like the android.
Just wish it still head the headphone port.

Samsung Galaxy S8 Unlocked Mobile Phone

Great phone. Love the iris scanner. Not impressed by location of the finger print scanner and the curve of the phones edges.
Excellent smartphone, with ip68 protocol for water issues.
Great Phone, Samsung has a lot of great features especially their Samsung pay feature.
I love the personal assistant "Bixby", the camera is fantastic, and the Samsung health feature lets me record my vitals and keep track of eating and sleeping habits.
I dont like how the speaker sounds. It´s a poor mono speaker.
It's a great phone, but wish Samsung would allow this phone to have the dual SIM card feature for their US version.

What customers say about "Power"

Apple iPhone 8 4.7", 64 GB, Fully Unlocked, Space Gray

The standby time for the battery feels like forever.
Battery can easily last a few days. Great improvement from my older phone that I was charging multiple times a day.
Battery life is better than my 6 plus and is faster.
This phone is good but the battery doesn’t last as long as previous iPhones.

Samsung Galaxy S8 Unlocked Mobile Phone

This is my first Samsung phone. I love it. The display is crystal clear. One full charge of battery lasted for > 24hrs.
I particularly like the long battery life and the cordless charger.
The other things are perfect but my only issue is regarding to the battery performance and it's not as I saw from the reviews and some YouTubes.
The only weakness I can find from S8 is the battery life. It cannot last for one whole day without charging. But the functionality is really much more powerful compared with iphone.
