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 Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is comfortable to hold and has the best-looking small tablet screen yet. Writing with the S Pen feels natural and is preferred over typing on a tablet screen. Storage can be expanded via microSD, and the Watch On feature has pote
The $399 price is a lot for a small tablet, no matter its features. It's not as thin or as light as the iPad Mini, and some people won't appreciate the highly saturated look of the OS. Also, its face buttons sometimes get in the way and there are occasion
The AT&T version of the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is a quality tablet, but the Nexus 7 offers contract-free 4G LTE support with better performance at a much better price....
Finally, Samsung is using the microUSB charge port for its tablets; Mobile edition of Android actually works better in this size than the tablet incarnation; Included S Pen means drawing and taking notes is possible in a useful size; Functions as an 8 inc
Plastic casing still isn't premium for us; Screen resolution is a little dated and could be better; No NFC; Performance is a little slow, especially in comparison to Samsung's smartphones;
Despite its plastic casing, Samsung's mid-sized Galaxy Note is one of the better Android tablets we've played with, feeling balanced in the hands, and supporting the S Pen with a more notepad-like experience.It could do with a touch more performance and s...
We really liked the Galaxy Note 8.0. Its stylus framework works very well in the 8″ form factor, and this is a powerful and well-designed little tablet which represents a strong competitor to the iPad mini, Nexus 7, and other mid-sized tablets. Perhaps ...

Crisp display, Stylus adds a massive potential for functionality, Familiar interface and feeling to the device, Impressive overall performance of the tablet
Disappointing battery life, despite capacity, Limited storage space – just 16 GB, Front facing camera is poor quality
There's plenty of competition in the market at this size – most notably the Nexus 7 and the iPad Mini, both of which are great devices with their own pro's and cons. The biggest plus that the Note 8 has over the competition is the Wacom digitiser, S-Pen a...

Abstract: Samsung is riding high at the moment as the world's number one Android mobile device maker, and you can see why the Korean company is doing so well when you take the Galaxy Note 8.0 out of its biodegradable bamboo packaging.Our test device was the A$459 W...

Abstract: Our test device was the A$459 Wi-Fi only version (3G and LTE versions available later) which is nicely designed, slim, and fairly light-weight at 340 grams. It is built well and for some people, just the right size with its eight-inch (measured diagonally...
Fast and zippy performance, Some genuinely useful software features, S Pen works well
Below average battery life, Slippery, plastic build, Too expensive
The Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 is a handy tablet with some nice software features but it's let down by a slippery, plastic build and an expensive price tag. Unless you desperately need the S Pen, buy a Google Nexus 7...
Intuitive and fluid OS, Good keyboard, Great for watching media, Lightning fast browser
No flash player, Browser zoom and reflow needs work, IR Blaster range poor
Samsung has created a very worthy device here. The Note 8.0 may not be able to put 'phone' or 'tablet' solely on its birth certificate (remember, the cellular version will allow calls), but in using the Wi-Fi model under the tablet moniker, we can see Sam...

Maybe. The main issue is that it's quite expensive for a fairly average device.In Australia the Galaxy Note 8.0 costs $459 for the 16GB, Wi-Fi-only model. That's $90 more expensive than the equivalent iPad mini and a whopping $210 more than the Nexus 7, b...
