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

It seems like consumers have a relatively short memory. It was a little over a year ago that everybody was taking pot shots at Samsung following its Galaxy Note 7 fiasco. After the release of the Galaxy S8 , all the jokes were quickly replaced by awe and wonder.
Pros:
  • Premium build quality
  • S Pen a standout
  • Fast processing and multitasking
  • Superb all-round camera
Cons:
  • Design not as eye catching
  • Pricey depending on model

Samsung Galaxy Note 8 (64GB, Black) - Excellent review

So the bottom line is, the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is a really good phone - with strong performance, useful S-Pen capabilities, multiple biometric security options, that IP68 water and dust feature (even the S-Pen!), superb camera modules and good battery life.

The Galaxy Note 8 is the most powerful phone from Samsung that you can buy today. On the face of it, the phone combines the best of available hardware, offers an innovative design pushed to the limits, comes with a capacitive stylus, and has the highest rated dual camera system on a phone.

Samsung Galaxy Note 8 (64GB, Black) - Excellent review

Samsung had a really rough last year after the Note7 release and recall. I don’t bring that up to try and shame the company, I think they handled it well and it doesn’t seem to have harmed them. You just need to look at the Samsung Galaxy Note8 for proof of that.

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.
