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.

No carrier IP Voice support / uncertain Samsung Pay MST

Stellar phone, Android 8.x, BT5.0, and it works on T-Mo voice and LTE no issues. One clarification, however, that should be noted in the product listing here is that (in my case) the International model 950F I got was from the UAE, therefore, it has their countrys firmware on it.

Amazing phone

My note 4 quit charging. The note 8 had just came out. I absolutely love this phone. The iris scanner is very cool. The S pen is so much better that the one with my note 4. The cameras take beautiful pictures. I know not everyone like Bixby, but I do. Especially when I'm driving.
Pros:
  • Cameras
  • Iris scanner
  • Pixel density
  • Memory
  • Design
  • Bixby
Cons:
  • None

The Samsung Galaxy Note8 takes everything that was great about last year's Note7 and simply improves upon it in all the right ways but with a bigger Galaxy Note came a bigger price and consumers may have to contemplate even harder before pulling the trigger this time around.

The list of specifications above put the Samsung Galaxy Note II among an elite group of smartphones. Not only does it pack a quad-core SoC and 2GB of RAM, but it's outfitted with a gigantic (relatively speaking) screen and the latest version of Google's Android mobile OS, a.k.a. Jelly Bean.
