Samsung's best camera x2
Fast with 6GB of RAM
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
Bixby needs work
Difficult to operate one-handed
The price
Rating
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

So, does the Note 8 do anything drastic to shake up Samsung's now-familiar Galaxy Note formula? No, not really - but then it doesn't have to. It just has to avoid blowing up.Sure, the iPhone might have won over a few ex-Galaxy owners when the Note 7 disap...

Premium build quality, S Pen a standout, Fast processing and multitasking, Superb all-round camera
Design not as eye catching, Pricey depending on model
As mentioned before, the Note 8 will cost you R18 499 for the 64 GB model. That's not a small sum by any measure, and places this device in the same bracket as competitors like the Huawei Mate 10 Pro and Apple iPhone X. When it comes to specifications, it...
Abstract: Camera quality has improved with updates.No sign of Android 8.0 Oreo update as yet.Occasional lag sort of ruins the experience. It's already been a little over six months since Samsung launched the Galaxy Note 8, which was crowned as one of the best...
