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

Plastic build
No 4G option
Display could be better
Expensive compared to similarly specced WiFi devices (Nexus 7

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

Sexy design, Premium build quality, Amazing display, Fluid performance, S-Pen options for those that need them, Amazing camera, Battery life lasts the day and then some, Priced to compete with its peers
Speaker isn't very good, Fingerprint magnet, Price may be too high for many, Bixby needs work, Fingerprint sensor placement is just wrong
The Samsung Galaxy Note8 is without a doubt one of the best smartphones of 2017. It's not for everyone though. Android purists need to just walk away because the Samsung Experience will just irritate you. iPhone users who are used to doing things Apple's...

Add it all up, and Samsung's phones remain a cut above, sharing top honors for design and display. The Galaxy S8+ gets the nod over the Note 8, because it's a little less expensive and you're more likely to find a deal on this slightly older phone. Even i...

Beautiful design and solid build quality, Small bezels, Speedy Iris/Face scanning, 64GB of storage and microSD card slot, Always On Display, Samsung Pay, IP68 water/dust resistance, S Pen, Headphone jack, Wireless charging, 6GB of RAM
Software experience is convoluted and buggy, Performance stutters/inconsistent, Fingerprint sensor placement and performance (slow, inaccurate), Old fast charging tech doesn't charge while screen is on, Bixby is lame and you still can't remap the hardware
Like the Galaxy S8 and S8+, the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is the Swiss Army knife of Android phones, but it's not quite perfect. Fingerprint sensor is still awful, the phone is oversized, software is clunky, but no smartphone is perfect.The Note 8 quells some...
Abstract: For Samsung, the big one is here: the next Galaxy Note release. A lot is riding on the Galaxy Note 8 because of its predecessor's massive failure a year ago. The great success Galaxy S8 earlier in the year proved that the Korean giant could effectively tu...

As I stated, the photos weren't touched up or edited in any way, but during the resizing and compression process, some details can be lost. Still, from what I can tell, each phone has an incredible camera, with all three being very versatile in varying co...
If the Note 7 left you doubting Samsung, then the Note8 will definitely restore your faith in the company. The phone is solid but is definitely not for everyone. Many won't use the Live Focus camera feature or S-Pen features. For the price of nearly $1000...

The Samsung Galaxy Note8 is truly in a class of its own. It is the only phablet in the world with an electromagnetic stylus, an Infinity Display and a dual-lens camera. Nothing else, not even the new Apple iPhone 8 Plus, is in the same league. It builds u...

Abstract: I'd contemplated before that it's possible I don't need root any more beyond wanting to play with a very few apps that come along. With the HTC 10 I'd gotten ticked off at the bloatware by day three and rooted it to remove it. However it turned out that y...
