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

‘Infinitely' expensive

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

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

The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is the device you expect it to be. It's blasting with both barrels, offering all the glory of the Galaxy S8+ with new enhancements to that beloved S Pen and a new dual camera to keep driving Samsung's smartphones forward. We have...
In the past, the Note series has always offered a huge step forward over the regular ‘S' line of devices, but that doesn't appear to be the case anymore. In fact, the Note 8 doesn't really offer much over the S8 and S8+ at all. That's not to say the Note...

Our first impressions of the Galaxy Note 8 are generally positive. It's effectively an extension of the S8 range with a larger screen, S Pen stylus and dual cameras. A lot of that is attractive but whether you want to pay extra for it is another matter, e...

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 dis...

Samsung's Galaxy Note 8 will be a touch faster than the Galaxy S8, but much more expensive when it arrives. Buy the Note 8 over the S8 Plus only if you'll use its S Pen stylus and dual-camera, since the difference in screen size and battery capacity will...

The Note 8 is the true goldilocks device of Samsung's ever-growing Note range of tablets and smartphones. It offers excellent performance and it's also rather eye-catching. We're just not sure whether it's worth more than the iPad Mini, however....
