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 8 Smartphone Review
Even with those minor flaws, the Note 8 still has the Android crown in our minds because of its comprehensive quality of components and features. Hardware-wise, it doesn't just tick all the boxes, like waterproofing, microSD expansion, wireless charging, but gives us the best screen, the best dual...

Samsung Galaxy Note 8 (64GB, Black) - Excellent review
If you want a top-of-the-line, waterproof Android phone, start by looking at the Galaxy S8 , Galaxy S8+, and the Note 8. If you want a big, phablet-sized screen, the S8+ and the Note 8 are the way to go.- Top-of-the-line camera, Fun, intuitive stylus, Outstanding performance
- Poor fingerprint-scanner placement, Useless virtual assistant
Samsung Galaxy Note 8 (64GB, Black) - Excellent review
If you have kept up with my reviews throughout the years, you know I am a huge fan of the series. I was disappointed last year when the Note 7 was taken off the shelves. Needless to say, I was hype back in August when the Galaxy Note8 announcement came early.
Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Review: Best Phone to Buy in Nepal
The newest member of the Note-series, the Note 8 is finally here. With Note 7 burning down in flames, we thought the days of Note series were over. But the new device comes with a bang en route to claim the title of the best Android smartphone right now.
Amazing phone
I highly recommend this phone. It is extremely user friendly. I was concerned about the battery life but after a month of use, I find it he battery has no problem get through a heavy use day.

After two years South Africans finally have a new Samsung Note smartphone to buy. As you may recall the Note 7 never made it to South Africa due to a battery fault that caused many handsets to spontaneously catch fire.
