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.

Poor quality hardware and junk apps

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.
Pros:
  • Good look
Cons:
  • Poor quality hardware and junk apps

"Samsung GALAXY Note II - Best"

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.
Pros:
  • s-pen functionality
Cons:
  • bigger size

overall a brilliant phone, again another win for Samsung.

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.

Impressive.

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.
Pros:
  • All-day battery
  • beautiful screen
  • pressure sensitive S-Pen
Cons:
  • a bit big for some and no kickstand (get a case

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.

Still a little too large for some, it's still a great device to help users enter the phablet market at a reduced cost.
