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

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

Painfully expensive
Weaker battery life than S8 Plus

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
ConclusionThe Galaxy Note8 is without a doubt the best Samsung smartphone ever. It's also the most powerful and most beautiful S Pen-wielding device in history, and that's important to note for fans of the stylus. You don't get such a built-in accessory w...
