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
Think the iPhone 5 is a weakling of a mobile, and that even the Samsung Galaxy S3 could do with gaining a few curves? The Samsung Galaxy Note 2 may be what you're after. Thanks to its 5.5in screen, it's a phone so large that some people can't decide whether it's a phone or a tablet.- S Pen stylus feels accurate and comfortable
- Fast processor and loads of RAM
- Great screen
- Will be too large for some
- A bit plasticky
Samsung Galaxy Note 8
The Note 8 is the pinnacle of smartphone technology right now. There is no better processor, no better screen, no better sound quality, no better reception, and no better camera. It costs a lot of money, but you're getting what you pay for. Will the new iPhone upend our recommendation of the Note 8?- High-quality, waterproof build
- Improved S Pen stylus
- Dual cameras
- Modem supports emerging networks
- Expensive
- Too big to work with current Gear VR headset
Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Review
You can't say Samsung's Galaxy Note brand isn't resilient: even explosions and costly recalls couldn't dampen enthusiasm for the new Note 8. Phablet fans are dedicated, though, especially those who demand stylus support too, which means the Note 8 arrives with an audience of eager buyers waiting to...- Huge
- beautiful display
- Genuinely useful stylus
- Excellent camera
- Solid battery life
- Prodigious price
- Fingerprint scanner is awkwardly-placed
- Bixby button is annoying
Galaxy Note 8 Review: Redemption Never Looked So Good
Is all of that worth about $80 to $100 more than the already large-and-in-charge Galaxy S8+ ? After living with the Note 8 for more than a week, I would say "yes."- Gorgeous 6.3-inch Infinity Display
- Fantastic dual cameras
- Fun and useful S Pen enhancements
- Handy App Pair feature
- Strong overall performance
- Very good battery life
- Awkward placement of fingerprint sensor
- A couple of early bugs
- Very pricey
Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Review
Representing the current pinnacle of smartphone technology, the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 phone has everything that's great about the Galaxy S8, plus dual cameras and an S Pen stylus. The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is a no-brainer. It takes the Galaxy S8, the best phone of the year so far, and adds dual cameras, a better screen, and the beloved S Pen stylus. It fills the shoes of the dearly departed Note 7 elegantly, and is certainly the best phone for creative types—but only those for whom price is no object. That's because, at $930 for the T-Mobile model we reviewed, the Galaxy Note 8 is currently the most expensive flagship phone in the US. Pricing and Design Depending on your carrier, the Galaxy Note 8 is about $100 more than the Galaxy S8+. It's $31.67 per month over 30 months on AT&T ($950), $40 per month over 24 months on Sprint ($960), $930 on T-Mobile, or $40 per month over 24 months on Verizon ($960). An unlocked model is $929. Physically, the Galaxy Note 8 looks and feels like a larger Galaxy S8 (or, more to the point, an S8+). Its body is smooth, solid, and rounded. The screen has the very narrow bezels of the Galaxy S8, with slight sloping on the back...- High-quality, waterproof build
- Improved S Pen stylus
- Dual cameras
- Modem supports emerging networks
- Expensive
- Too big to work with current Gear VR headset
Samsung Galaxy Note 8 (64GB, Black) - Excellent review
Samsung's new dual camera system sets the bar very high- It's the best camera phone I've used and it's everything a high-end phone should be. You can feel where the money's gone.
- The fingerprint scanner is hard to reach and the face/iris scanning alternatives are unreliable.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is unquestionably one of those devices that is greater than the sum of its parts. It's not just a powerful tool or a capable multimedia machine, it's a joy to use and it can do anything you'd expect any top-tier smartphone to do and so much more.
- Outstanding display
- Rich S Pen integration
- Excellent performance
- Impressive camera
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: 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
