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

It's the best camera phone I've used and it's everything a highend phone should be. You can feel where the money's gone
Extremely thin bezel means you get a 6.3in edgetoedge screen
But the phone doesn't feel uncomfortable to use in one hand
The phone lets you open two apps at the same time
Using half the screen per app so you watch a video while composing an email

How long will the battery life be?
It'll be EXPENSIVE
Fingerprint magnet
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

Bixby needs work
Difficult to operate one-handed

High price tag in context to similar devices
Nonpremium built materials
Bloatwareladen
Plastic build
No 4G option
Display could be better
Expensive compared to similarly specced WiFi devices (Nexus 7
IPad Mini
Asus Padfone 2)
Expensive
Troubling battery life
Painfully expensive
Weaker battery life than S8 Plus
Display not as sharp as some rivals
Average media battery life
SO expensive
Easily-smudged rear
Very expensive
Overly similar to S8 Plus
Small battery
‘Infinitely' expensive
Battery life held back
Weak speaker
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
Erittäin kallis
Akunkesto ei ole kummoinen
Heikko kaiutin
Galaxy S9+ a serious consideration if S Pen doesn't appeal
Massive and perhaps somewhat unwieldy
Awkward to hold one-handed
Facial recognition is hit and miss
Do you really need a device this big
That's awkward to operate one-handed? Bixby is also a work-in-progress and
Oh
The price. The eye-watering price
Battery life could be better
Live Focus needs some work
Poor fingerprint sensor placement
Only Android 7.0
No USBPD
Fingerprint scanner placement awkward
Very big for pockets
Location of fingerprint sensor
The fingerprint scanner is hard to reach and the face/iris scanning alternatives are unreliable
The battery life wasn't as long as some other flagship smartphones on the market
Display suffers from fingerprint marks and the screen is hard to see in bright light
Abstract: Gaaaaaaaaah, it's the Samsung Galaxy Note 8, in house! Finally! We'll get to the review to you here shortly, but for now, it's Galaxy Note 8 unboxing time.Like the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ before it, the Note 8 ships in an all-black box with matching bl...

Who is the Samsung Galaxy Note8 for? Stylus lovers and shutterbugs. If you demand the added functionality of the S Pen and hanker for one of the best-possible cameras on a mobile device, then the Note8 is the handset for you.Samsung crafted an impressive...

Abstract: Between the explosions, the recalls and its subsequent afterlife as airport PA system fodder, it's easy to lose sight of the fact that the Galaxy Note 7 was a very good phone. In fact, the line has always been one of the industry's best and most innovativ...
Premium glass and metal build, Gorgeous and large display, improved S Pen features, Excellent camera quality, microSD expansion, IP68 certified, Fluid performance
Most expensive Galaxy Note to date, Phone is very tall, Fingerprint sensor still awkwardly located
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 trigg...
A successful first foray into dual cameras, Attractive design builds off the GS8 while going in new directions, Some of the best performance you can get from a smartphone, Samsung's new software is really coming into its own, Big, flexible, beautiful disp
Price, price, price, Tall hardware makes reaching certain spots difficult, Battery life is sufficient, but not outstanding, Wideangle camera really not that wide, Screen brightness could use a tiny kick
The Galaxy Note 8 is at once a safe, almost obvious phone, and one that still manages to show Samsung reaching out into new, untested waters. By taking the look of the Galaxy S8, scaling things up a bit from the GS8+, and adding in S Pen support, the Note...
Modern, striking look with thin bezels, Impressively versatile and capable, S Pen drawing instrument, Superb apps & software support, Better system coherence and performance, More affordable price
Between the Galaxy Note 8 and the iPhone 7 Plus, it's the Note 8 that currently has the 'wow!' advantage. This is exclusively due to its modern, almost-bezelless design, as well as smooth, glossy finishes and fresh color options. When you pick up a Note 8...

Abstract: Forgive me for passing up the chance to beat the exploding battery joke into the ground. Lets get straight to the point: Samsungs once dominant flagship phablet is back after a two year hiatus. Sporting a stunning extra-widescreen 18.5:9 display, the ne...
Prodigious price, Fingerprint scanner is awkwardly-placed, Bixby button is annoying
There's nothing quite like a Galaxy Note. Samsung's flagship may not stray wildly beyond the Galaxy S8 and S8+ we've already seen, but the changes it brings – S Pen, camera, and more RAM – pay dividends in all the right ways. Certainly it's not a cheap de...

Best, brightest phone screen ever, Fast, lag-free performance, All-day battery life, App pair and Live Messages are so much fun, Beautiful, perfected glass and metal design, Dual camera system is best in class (sorry, iPhone)
At first glance, it's pretty easy to underestimate the Galaxy Note 8 on account of its familiarity after months of seeing the Galaxy S8+ in the wild. But the big thing to remember is that the Galaxy S8 and S8+ are Samsung's best-ever selling flagships, so...
