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 (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.
The Galaxy Note8 is just not a larger version of the Galaxy S8+. Samsung has adopted the Infinity display and the design of the S8 series, added unique Galaxy Note features such as S Pen and dual rear cameras that make it one of the best premium phones in the market.
- Brilliant display
- Good camera
- Good performance
- S Pen stylus is now more precise
- Fingerprint sensor placement makes it useless
- Battery life is not impressive
- Priced on the higher side

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.
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
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.
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.- Premium build quality
- S Pen a standout
- Fast processing and multitasking
- Superb all-round camera
- Design not as eye catching
- Pricey depending on model
iPhone X vs Samsung Galaxy Note 8: Clash of the flagships
The Note 8 has a bigger (and notchless) screen, but this means it's a bigger and bulkier device; both phones have good screen-to-body ratios, with minimal bezels.The Note's screen is also sharper, but both are fabulously sharp as it is and we don't think you'd notice much difference in practice.
Fan'tab'ulous Beast !!!
