Design
The phone is sleek and thin
But weighing in at
Not a Full HD screen
So-so video performance
High price
Old version of Android
Uninspiring design
Samsung software
Battery life
Poor design
Lacklustre screen
Phone addition is pointless on such a large device
No flash player
Browser zoom and reflow needs work
IR Blaster range poor
Mediocre camera offers fewer possibilities with the stylus than the Galaxy Note 10.1
Low gaming capabilities
Lags
Edges could have been made thinner to make it easier to handle
Universal Remote mode not really worth it
Quite expensive
Screen resolution a disapointment
Not all the features work as they should and it's a good £60 more expensive than its rivals
Battery life isn't class leading
The price is high
Fingerprint scanner placement needs a rethink
Galaxy S8+ a serious consideration if S Pen doesn't appeal
The Galaxy Note 8.0 is a great device, but would I recommend you picking it up? That's a tough question. There are many tablets coming out. In fact, around 5-7 new ones were announced this week at Computex, not to mention the Nexus 7 should be getting a r...
Abstract: For years, we've seen iPhone killers come and go, then iPad killers. Now, the target is the iPad Mini. Never mind that the iPad Mini was late to the game for small tablets -- Samsung has had seven-inch tablets for years , and Google's Nexus 7 popularized ...
Abstract: Page 1 of 2 Samsung's Galaxy Note 8 has a few things that the current crop of non-Windows tablets will never have. One is the ability to split the screen between two applications and float a third window on top. Another takes control of media component...
Abstract: Posted in Mobile Device Reviews, ReviewsI’m a Huge fan of the Samsung Note 2 so I was interested to see the differences between that and this Note 8. I really love having an S pen. AT least for me it makes preforming certain actions way more natural an...
Fast SoC, Very bright display, Lots of RAM, Price, Phone functionality
No FullHD display, Contrast too low and black value too high, Battery life not that satisfying, Power adapter gets warm under load
The new Galaxy Note 8.0 is quite impressiveDuring the course of our review, we've called the Note 8.0 a tablet, a smartphone, and a tabphone since we didn't quite know what to call the device. At this point, we are still not sure. The Note 8.0 is too larg...
Samsung's S Pen is great, smooth performance, good for multitasking, plenty of storage
Screen isn't great, poor design, Samsung's Touchwiz user interface can be overpowering

Abstract: I love my iPad mini but after I borrowed a friend's Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 recently I had to buy one. The Note 8.0 has a similar size to that of the iPad mini but the resemblance ends there. Samsung has added features that are unique to the Note 8.0 that...
Excellent battery life, Useful multitasking controls, Stylus is very accurate and handy for note taking
Very expensive compared to alternatives, Poor camera quality
The Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 is a beautiful little tablet, there's no doubt about it. It has a nice screen, great battery life, and some very unique features. Unfortunately, it's also a relatively expensive tablet. At a $400 base price, it's one of the mo...
The 16GB, Wi-Fi only version of the Galaxy Note 8 is available in the United States for $399, a price that isn't exactly cheap, but not unreasonably high either. It's clear that Samsung made some compromises in the specs and features department to be able...
Blazing fast in benchmarks, S Pen and display are very responsive, Great for note taking / annotation
Can be tough to use one-handed, Plastics are underwhelming, WatchON app incomplete, Expensive
Performance Analysis: From a pure performance standpoint, it's really hard to knock the Galaxy Note 8.0. With its 1.6GHz quad-core Exynos SoC paired to 2GB of RAM, Samsung has created a top performer on the benchmark track. It blew away the single- and du...
