Back in 2011 when the original Galaxy Note was released, its 5.3 inch display earned it the ‘phablet' moniker, hinting at the fact that it straddled the line between a phone and a tablet.
The new 6.3-inch Samsung Galaxy Note8 resembles the S8 Plus phone and the processor and many other specs are the same. Note 8 does contain some new features like the 12 MP dual camera and the more sophisticated pen.
The dual rear cameras contain a wide-angle lens and a tele lens. This combination yields ten times better digital zoom and twice the optical zoom. Both cameras support optical image stabilisation, which results in crisper photos. The performance under low-light conditions is especially noticeable. The dual cameras enable the Live focus feature, whereby it's possible to zoom in on an objected located close while the background remains blurry. This feature makes Note 8's cameras behave like a system digital camera.
One of the main selling points of the phone is its productivity-enhancing capabilities. The pen plays an imperative role and extends the functionality of Note 8 beyond notes taking and drawing. It's possible to take notes in screen-lock mode thanks to the Always on display also found on Galaxy S8. A click on the pin icon positioned in the lower right corner of the screen gives instant access to a maximum of 100 notes. Hence, it's easy to check items on the shopping list while shopping in-store.
The Note 8 phone sports 6 GB of RAM memory, 64 GB of storage and comes with dual sim slots. It's powered by Samsung's own Exynos 8895 processor. The battery has a capacity of 3,300 mAH and the phone is waterproof with an IP68 rating.

In the last few years, Samsung has created an amazing success story with their Galaxy S phones, and more recently the Galaxy Note range – the first Galaxy Note phone was popular, and the Galaxy Note II was nothing short of a genuine success.
Crisp display; Stylus adds a massive potential for functionality; Familiar interface and feeling to the device; Impressive overall performance of the tablet
Disappointing battery life; despite capacity; Limited storage space – just 16 GB; Front facing camera is poor quality
First off ill start saying that the galaxy note 2 is a great phone and with this dock makes it even greater. This is the best dock I have seen on any platform. Worth the money if you want to charge and output to a television or other display device.
I'll admit, I was one of those people who said the original Galaxy Note was just too big to carry around. But after playing around with one a friend had I decided to give it a try. What really sold me was the battery life.
All-day battery; beautiful screen; pressure sensitive S-Pen
a bit big for some and no kickstand (get a case
"It's damn good, everything that was expected. Much more than value for money. 5 stars "
Product arrived in good time and was as advertised.... (cracked screen)subsequent additional cost to repair screen made total cost marginal value.
I fell in love with this phone the moment my partner came home with it. The S pen is a brilliant feature, along with the ability to split the screen for example using facebook and youtube together. The camera is amazing at an 8mp quality.
I bought Samsung GALAXY Note II around 2 years ago. Since then I have been using this without facing any difficulties. In my opinion , it is the best android phone in the market now due to its "note" feature. The s-pen feature allow you to write on some notes very quickly in your handwritten style.
s-pen functionality
bigger size
Screw falls of inside after a year of use. Microphone jack attached to motherboard is loose. Lot of junk apps. Even the Samsung stock apps are of poor quality and hardly updated.
Good look
Poor quality hardware and junk apps
Extravagantly priced, but with a feature set to match. We find out if the new Galaxy flagship is worth the outlay in our in-depth Note 8 review.
