I've had the phone for a couple of weeks. The inbuilt app for the transfer of data and photos from my old phone to my Note 8 was very easy and complete. the note facility before opening the phone is awesome andextremely useful.

Everything abt ths beast is top notch...Jst a mere complain...Samsung if u r listening then we r waiting for a stereo speaker...

The Galaxy Note 8 retakes the throne as the ultimate Android phone for now, but some intense competition is just over the horizon.

The Galaxy Note 8 tops Samsung's already excellent S8 and S8 Plus with dual cameras and a boatload of stylus tricks; It's the most feature-rich Android phone you can buy

An expensive phone, the Note 8 has more features than most people will need; Samsung's portrait mode can be finicky; The poorly placed fingerprint reader repeats the Galaxy S8's worst design flaw

So we all know what happened to the Note 7 , but the past is the past and Samsung has moved on. The Korean electronics giant however, did have the guts to continue with the Note series and just a few days before IFA Berlin, announced the new Note 8, a smartphone series we once thought, we would...

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

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

Bought this phone from online Argos, received it well on time on the first day of arrival for everyone in the UK. Everything run smoothly, fast charge, really deep colour screen based on my own setting, expended memory to 256gb as advert and battery last for 24 hours.

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

The Samsung Galaxy Note is an excellent smartphone. It has one of the best displays and the fastest camera on the market, a powerful processor, up-to-date software and perfect craftsmanship.

Excellent display; Fast performance; Fantastic dual camera with lightning-fast autofocus; S-Pen

Large; heavy and awkward to hold; Battery is just average; Biometric unlocking options not stable enough for daily use

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...
