Samsung Galaxy Note 8 64GB
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.
A newer model Samsung Galaxy Note 9 128GB was released in May 2018.

Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Review
Cellphones used to be big and heavy. Then, they started getting smaller, thinner and light. Now, they're starting to be bigger again. The Galaxy Note 2 is a good example of a big phone. At 5.5 inches, we bet half the population will have a hard time holding it with one hand.- Impressive and powerful specs
- Long battery life
- Great front and rear camera
- Large HD display
- Jellybean out of the box
- Inclusion of the S Pen
- Not for single-handed operation
- Plastic construction
Samsung Galaxy Note II Review
In a smartphone market that's expanding at a breakneck pace and offers a wide variety of choices, Samsung's Galaxy Note II is somewhat unique. For the longest time, companies were offering phones which sacrificed performance sets in order to achieve the smallest hardware footprint possible.
Samsung Galaxy Note 2 review
In the end, the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 is a great big salad of good and bad things. On the one hand, it has solid internals which translates to excellent performance in most aspects – on the other hand, there's the poor choice of external design and mediocre-feeling materials, along with the bloated...
Galaxy Note II
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.
Samsung Galaxy Note II (GT-N7100) Review
This is a big one! Quite literally as it turns out as Samsung continues to push the limits of what we consider an acceptable size for a smartphone. The Note II or GT-N7100 polishes off most of the shortcomings of the Note N7000 along with a little flavour from the Galaxy S III and a sprinkle of...
Samsung's Galaxy Note II can be accurately described as a Galaxy S III on steroids with a similar design but a much larger 5.5-inch screen and S Pen stylus. The device takes most of the features and apps of the Galaxy S III and offers them on a grander scale but also adds some unique features of its...

Last year, Samsung single-handedly transformed the hybrid phone/tablet into a viable form factor with the release of the Galaxy Note . The huge, stylus-toting smartphone was a surprise hit with consumers, amassing sales of more than ten million units worldwide.
Samsung Galaxy Note 8 (64GB, Black) - Excellent review
Fed up with the likes of Apple and Google stealing its tablet thunder, Samsung has launched the latest in its stylus-powered range.
Samsung Galaxy S4 vs Samsung Galaxy Note 2 review
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.
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
