I really appreciate the S8. Also, Samsung has some sort of trade-in deal going for $150 off the price of the phone†, which is what convinced me to grab it.
I'll offer a warning I wish I'd received a week ago. I've had mine for a week, and the shortest of drops (about a foot) resulted in a badly cracked screen. This is after two years with an S6 with hardly a scratch. I've read that it's one of the most fragile phones on the market[1], which doesn't make me feel any better, but does make me wish I didn't switch until I got my screen protector the next day.
Due to the shape and how new the screen is, I'm likely to have to pay about half the discounted price of the phone to get it fixed.
Otherwise, it's an excellent phone and a fantastic upgrade from the S6. Just make sure you get a screen protector.
