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
As with the first generation Samsung Galaxy Note, if you don't mind a very large phone and your use tends more toward web, email and video rather than calling, the Samsung Galaxy Note II is a unique cross-over phone that works both as a small tablet and a phone.- Huge screen, but slim phone
- Digital pen, excellent custom software
- Removable battery and microSD card slot
- Big phone! Maddeningly slippery
- Screen tech doesn't wow us
Samsung Galaxy Note II LTE in-depth review -
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
Samsung GALAXY Note II
It's pretty obvious that design-wise, the Note II is inspired by the GS3. It's all about the plastic body, rounded corners, and thin bezels. In an attempt at the "premium" look, Samsung has added a flashy metallic finish (like what you see on Whirlpool refrigerators).- Brilliant screen
- Excellent performance
- Extensive multimedia support
- Great battery life
- Packed with features
- Uncomfortable for single-handed use
- Feels too plasticky
- S-Voice is worse than Siri
Samsung Galaxy Note II 4G LTE Review
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
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...
Bigger and better: Samsung's Galaxy Note II 4G reviewed
The second of Samsung's big phones to be released, the Galaxy Note 2 is one massive device. Featuring a 5.5 inch screen, you'll never call the 4.8 inch Galaxy S3 a big phone again, and while that huge display is one of the reasons to draw you to the Note II, it's the little things and performance...- Strong performance in the operating system
- Fantastically fast 4G connection
- Just over a day's battery life on 4G
- more if you use your phone less
- One handed operation mode makes it possible to use the phone's core functions with one hand
- Split-screen multitasking works a treat
- Homescreens that...
- Screen resolution isn't as high as last Note
- Not every app can go to split-screen
- Android exhibits the same bugs in the 4G S3
- so you can't switch out your dock shortcuts
wow
What more could I ask from a mobile. Absolutely brilliant. Plus Mobilefun , as usual, shipped and delivered within 2 days. Excellent service.
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.
