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...

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.

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'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 Note8 takes everything that was great about last year's Note7 and simply improves upon it in all the right ways but with a bigger Galaxy Note came a bigger price and consumers may have to contemplate even harder before pulling the trigger this time around.

Most expensive Galaxy Note to date Phone is very tall Fingerprint sensor still awkwardly located

The newest member of the Note-series, the Note 8 is finally here. With Note 7 burning down in flames, we thought the days of Note series were over. But the new device comes with a bang en route to claim the title of the best Android smartphone right now.

Do Bigger Things The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 has a huge 6.3" Super AMOLED Infinity Display with Quad HD+ resolution (2960 x 1440 pixels at 521 pixels per inch).

If what you're after is a high-end Android smartphone with a giant screen, there isn't much not to like about the Galaxy Note II. The performance is excellent, the screen is superb, the camera is fantastic and the AT&T LTE speeds are mind-blowing. Just make sure it fits in your pocket!

The Galaxy Note II Is A Massive Phone

My note 4 quit charging. The note 8 had just came out. I absolutely love this phone. The iris scanner is very cool. The S pen is so much better that the one with my note 4. The cameras take beautiful pictures. I know not everyone like Bixby, but I do. Especially when I'm driving.

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.

All-day battery; beautiful screen; pressure sensitive S-Pen

a bit big for some and no kickstand (get a case

First off ill start saying that the galaxy note 2 is a great phone and with this dock makes it even greater. This is the best dock I have seen on any platform. Worth the money if you want to charge and output to a television or other display device.
