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
Ultimately, we found ourselves able to get used to the massive size of the Note 8, and that’s because its size is big, but it isn’t so big that it’s completely unnatural. Sure, our pants were not super approving, and the moment you put this phone in a case, you’re aware that you’re carrying a bigger...- Massive and lovely screen Improved specs, The S Pen returns!, Still water resistant, Still includes a 3.5mm headset jack, Decent battery life at a little over a day, Improvements to camera and camera software, Iris scanning feels faster, Case in the box (yay?)
- Massive size, Fingerprint sensor placement isn’t fantastic (still), Expensive

Samsung Galaxy Note 8
With the Note 8, Samsung is indeed back with a bang (pun intended). The Galaxy Note 8 is the best Note the company has ever made.- S-Pen
- Great camera
- Beautiful design
- Expensive
- Just a work day's battery life
- Fingerprint scanner placement can be frustrating
After the unfortunate debacle of the Galaxy Note 7 last year, there were rumors that Samsung may ditch the Note series altogether, and that the Galaxy Note 8 may never happen. On the contrary, even after the Galaxy Note 7 battery fiasco, Samsung's image hasn't been dented much, and people seem to...
Samsung Galaxy Note 8 review: Bigger, better, less flammable
Samsung Galaxy Note 8: The Galaxy Note 8 rises from the ashes of its predecessor; but can Samsung get back in your pocket?- Incredible bezel-less display
- Superb dual cameras
- Refined stylus
- Painfully expensive
- Weaker battery life than S8 Plus
Samsung Galaxy Note 8 review: Sunshine after a dark day
Yes, the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is slightly thicker than its brother the Galaxy S8 plus, mostly because it has to accommodate the S-pen. 3,300 mAh of battery juice provides just 22 hours of work time (nominal use with Wi-Fi on).
Great phone
The battery was a big concern before buying, however while not an improvement on previous Galaxy phones is certainly no worse despite the larger screen size. The camera is the main reason for me buying this phone and i'm not disappointed.
Being Samsung's flagship-tier device, the Galaxy Note8 is armed with an Exynos 8895 SoC, ARM Mali-G7 GPU, and 6GB of RAM. This combo should mean that the Note8 crunches numbers very well.
- Inarguably beautiful
- Powerful enough to run most tasks smoothly
- Rear camera setup is good
- IP68 S Pen allows for underwater doodling
- Plenty of biometric locks
- Fingerprint sensor is poorly positioned
- Sets a new high for smartphone prices
Samsung Galaxy Note 8: Full, in-depth review
With the arrival of the Note 8, the brand has finally - and maybe inevitably - risen from the ashes to reclaim its past glory. A cutting contrast to the usual rigamarole of flagship products, it’s fair to say Samsung‘s Galaxy Note 8 exists in a very “unique” context.- S-Pen
- QHD+ Display
- Battery life burns down fast
- Exynos can't keep pace with Snapdragon
Samsung Galaxy Note 8 review: The return of the Note series
Samsung Galaxy Note 8 review: Priced at Rs 67,900, this smartphone is one of the best flagships in the market. For Note fans, this upgrade might be worth it.
