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.

My note 4 quit charging. The note 8 had just came out. I absolutely love this phone. The iris scanner is very cool. The S pen is so much better that the one with my note 4. The cameras take beautiful pictures. I know not everyone like Bixby, but I do. Especially when I'm driving.

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
Arrived a day early packaged well, easy to open and activate from my Verizon and down load from Verizon cloud. I encourage people to purchase a Samsung thru their ASURION insurance, buy the phone thru AMAZON it arrives quickly and easily to open and download if you have patience and a computer...
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
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 have been using a galaxy S 2 for the past year, so I was excited when I first unboxed my brand new Galaxy note 2. First off, let me confirm this- the phone (or should I say phablet) really does amaze you by its sheer size.
Think the iPhone 5 is a weakling of a mobile, and that even the Samsung Galaxy S3 could do with gaining a few curves? The Samsung Galaxy Note 2 may be what you're after. Thanks to its 5.5in screen, it's a phone so large that some people can't decide whether it's a phone or a tablet.
S Pen stylus feels accurate and comfortable; Fast processor and loads of RAM; Great screen
Will be too large for some; A bit plasticky
Sci-fi films from the 70s have us speaking into phones the size of thimbles by the 21 st Century, but recent trends amongst high-end mobiles have swung well the other way. Samsung's Galaxy Note II is one of the biggest around, rocking a massive 5.5-inch screen, but we love its S-Pen stylus and wide...
Spacious, vibrant screen; Smart pen and tools; Quad-core power; Fantastic battery life; Great 8MP camera
Bulky and heavy; Niche target audience
The Galaxy Note 2 is the successor to the, erm, Galaxy Note, which is predictable. What wasn't predictable was how we would feel about this new handset. The Note, you see, is a bit of an enigma. A massive phone, or really small 3G tablet.
Fantastic screen; pen is great; loads and loads of power; great battery life
Handwriting recognition needs some work; it's expensive
Generally technology is getting smaller – but some of the high-end smartphones are taking things the other way – take a look at the Samsung Galaxy Note II for example. Here's one of the biggest phones on the market, with a huge 5.5-in display, as well as a whole host of features and an S-Pen stylus.
Large bright screen; S Pen stylus and other tools; Quad-core processor; Impressive battery life; Great eight-megapixel snapper
Big and weighty
