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.

The iPhone 14 isn’t much of an upgrade over the iPhone 13, but it’s still a great device and an upgrade for anyone coming from the iPhone 11 or older.
Great camera, Good battery, Emergency features are cool, Still excellent performance
Display could use some upgrades
Apple has given select media outlets and YouTubers access to the new iPhone 14 ahead of when it begins arriving in customers' hands on Friday, September 16. There are two models of the iPhone 14, the standard 6.1-inch iPhone 14 and the larger 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Plus.
For the people who crave larger screens and don't want a tablet, the Note 2 is the best choice available right now.
Design minimizes bulk; keeping this big phone slim-seeming; Android 4.1 Jelly Bean available at launch; Camera app includes robust feature set; User-replaceable battery; Improved S Pen functionality; Speedy peformance; Available on all major carriers; Long battery life
TouchWiz gets in the way of Jelly Bean too much; Some S Pen features only work in Samsung apps; Display resolution lower than previous generation
The Samsung Galaxy Note II is big. Colossally big. Comically big. Write down any adjective you can think of to modify how to describe something large and it will most likely fit the description of the Galaxy Note II.
Excellent camera and unique software capabilities because of S Pen and 5.5-inch screen
Large size may be too much for many users to overcome
The unusual form factor will put some off but, in every respect, this is a superb device
What ever happened to smartphones that were comfortably pocketable? Don't ask Samsung, as it's still too busy raking in the profits off its Galaxy Note range of mini-tablet-sized handsets. Phablets, as most people call them, have risen to dominance in world smartphone market.
A year ago, I wrote that the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 was the best big phone ever made. It had excellent performance, a great camera, and a refined design that was surprisingly manageable for a device with a large screen.
Lovely display; Fast performance; Reliable battery life; Excellent standard camera
It's enormous; It's expensive; Secondary camera is far inferior to main camera; Terrible fingerprint scanner placement
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
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
Even with those minor flaws, the Note 8 still has the Android crown in our minds because of its comprehensive quality of components and features. Hardware-wise, it doesn't just tick all the boxes, like waterproofing, microSD expansion, wireless charging, but gives us the best screen, the best dual...
