How's your S8/S8+ running now after 4 months? Performance wise or physically
 
Runs great no issues at all now my daughter has it. Would not think twice about purchasing another one.
 
So far the phone runs the same as it did on day 1. Physically it is still pristine. I only use a Spigen Neo Hybrid.
 
Mine's running great, and looks better after I had added a dbrand dragon skin and Ghost Armor screen protector.
 
So far don't regret chaging from apple. As much as I would still prefer an Ipad (business related), im currently using the iPhone separably as an ipod with apple music, seperatly to play in the car.
The only issue I have is the audio/bluetooth keeps loosing the settings/media sync so I have to re-enable that constantly.
Besides that Its a pleasure to use with Nova and the phone looks and acts how I set it up. Interacts well with Gear s3 watch that works perfectly as well.

If that audio is fixed I would have no reason to go back to apple. It is an issue when im driving and the headphones/airpods keeps loosing audio settings.
 
I had some consistent glitchy issues after getting my S8+ on April 19th: auto sync wouldn't activate, phone rebooted 3 or 4 times, and lastly the phone became non responsive with just the aod screen working for about 30 minutes. I did a factory reset and added items back manually and have been pretty much glitch free since, which has been about 2 to 3 weeks now.

My s8 is running great. No slowdowns. Battery running strong, especially for a phone with so many features. No scratches or dings with screen protector and tech 21 case.
 
Still works great. My only disappointment was that I had to replace my wireless chargers with ones that were compatible.

Just moments ago, I managed to drop it 2.5 feet onto concrete in just a slim Spigen case. Somehow, it is fine, with no cracks or scratches.

Since April I've dropped mine probably 3 times, alwayd had a case on, and no phone issues. There's on screen scratch but I can't see it unless I turn the screen off and look for it
 
mines has been a beast since day one can't complain still fast an still has that wow factor

Even with the glitches, I really enjoy it. Since the factory reset it has been great. Use it heavily for work and home
 
My phone has been running great. I did have the SD card issue a while back, but an update fixed it. My phone still lasts me the entire day on one charge and has been running great no matter what I throw at it. Best phone I have bought, thus far.
 
No complaints here. Best of what Samsung has created thus far. Waiting to see when the blue Note 8 going to be available. Making the move on that one for SURE.
 
I got mine two days before launch (so I got it April 19) and it currently works like new, and looks like new cosmetically as well. However, that's not saying much since I've had to get three warranty replacements due to an issue I documented in this thread: https://forums.androidcentral.com/s...r-usb-peripherals-my-s8-plus.html#post5912893

Despite the offending issue, I have no regrets and this is otherwise the best phone I've ever owned. I wouldn't trade it for anything...except a Galaxy Note 8. :)
 
Mine is flying just as fast as day one, even with heavy user and many apps installed. Especially with my system wide ad blocker installed, it's buttery smooth and chrome is just as fast and smooth as safari was on my former iPhone 7+. I could never say that about chrome on a non-stock Android phone before. I love this phone and I have a feeling I will love the note 8 even more when I do a jump on demand T-Mobile upgrade to it next month.
