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.

Galaxy Note8 review: An overpriced S8+ with a pen is still a pretty great phone
The Note8 is a very good smartphone for all of the same reasons the S8 and S8+ are very good smartphones. It has an amazing display, stunning design, is packed with features (some useful, some not), a powerful chipset, lasts a long time on a charge, and works on every carrier in the US.- Display Absolutely gorgeous
- The best smartphone screen on the planet, now slightly bigger, Battery life If you had concerns about the downsized battery and the upsized display, put them to bed - the Note8 lasts plenty long on a charge, Camera The primary rear camera takes absolutely gorgeous shots.
- Camera The secondary telephoto lens is a little disappointing, and the live photo bokeh effect is hardly a game-changer
- I just don't think Samsung's made the case for a dual camera setup here, Cost The Note8 is ludicrously expensive, at $930 unlocked in the US.

Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Review
The Galaxy Note 8 is an excellent handset that dominates today's large screen (6.3"+) smartphone landscape. If you are a digital pen lover, this is the best you can get.

Forgive me for passing up the chance to beat the exploding battery joke into the ground. Let's get straight to the point: Samsung's once dominant flagship phablet is back after a two year hiatus.

Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Review: Is The Most Expensive Android Flagship Worth It?
It's also the most expensive Android flagship currently available, clocking in at Php 49,990 . That makes the phone out of reach for most people in the market for a flagship and honestly, for most of Samsung's fans. The question now changes from if you should buy it to can you afford it .
While it's large size means its audience is limited, those after a phablet-sized smartphone won't find a better device than this. The handset's 6.3in AMOLED Infinity display is stunning, its performance is unmatched and Samsung's improved S Pen - along with its nifty software tweaks and security...
