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

The Galaxy Note 2 is the successor to the, erm, Galaxy Note, which is predictable. What wasn't predictable was how we would feel about this new handset. The Note, you see, is a bit of an enigma. A massive phone, or really small 3G tablet.
Pros:
  • Fantastic screen
  • pen is great
  • loads and loads of power
  • great battery life
Cons:
  • Handwriting recognition needs some work
  • it's expensive

Impressive.

I'll admit, I was one of those people who said the original Galaxy Note was just too big to carry around. But after playing around with one a friend had I decided to give it a try. What really sold me was the battery life.
Pros:
  • All-day battery
  • beautiful screen
  • pressure sensitive S-Pen
Cons:
  • a bit big for some and no kickstand (get a case

overall a brilliant phone, again another win for Samsung.

I fell in love with this phone the moment my partner came home with it. The S pen is a brilliant feature, along with the ability to split the screen for example using facebook and youtube together. The camera is amazing at an 8mp quality.

"Samsung GALAXY Note II - Best"

I bought Samsung GALAXY Note II around 2 years ago. Since then I have been using this without facing any difficulties. In my opinion , it is the best android phone in the market now due to its "note" feature. The s-pen feature allow you to write on some notes very quickly in your handwritten style.
Pros:
  • s-pen functionality
Cons:
  • bigger size

Samsung Galaxy Note 8 review

As ever, the greatest shortcoming of Samsung’s Galaxy Note series is that these phones aren’t for everyone. Some people will want a smaller handset. Some will want one that doesn’t require them to remortgage the house. Others are going to take one look one look at this behemoth and cough up the necessary dosh on the spot. In smartphone terms the Note 8 does everything. Its dual lens camera takes a great photo even when zoomed in, its huge 6.3in screen is an awesome surface to work across and relax with, and that S Pen remains a smart accompaniment to ridiculously powerful package. Only some hit and miss facial recognition holds this phone back from being a perfect all-rounder. So would I buy a Note 8? No. It’s a bit too big for me too comfortably hold, and I’m not going to use its stylus in the long run. Still, you can’t help hold this phone and be impressed by just how much it’s capable of. For anyone in need of a super phone, there is no better alternative.
Pros:
  • Gorgeous, big screen
  • Awesome camera
  • Power to spare
Cons:
  • Awkward to hold one-handed
  • Facial recognition is hit and miss
