Battery life burns down fast
Exynos can't keep pace with Snapdragon
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
Lovely design and build quality, Impressive dual camera, Excellent display, Good performance, Plenty of useful features
Location of fingerprint sensor, Very expensive
There's one element of this phone that has to be mentioned. It's very expensive. Sure, most people will be getting it on contract so that extra cost is gently spread out but there's no getting away from the fact that this phone is pricey. Part of that is...

great battery, impressive screen, water resistant, great camera, great stylus, microSD card slot, wireless charging
only Android 7.0, no USBPD, fingerprint scanner placement awkward, expensive, very big for pockets
The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 feels like a greatest hits for the Note series. It has every feature that made previous Notes worth buying and slams them into the new Samsung smartphone design ushered in by the Galaxy S8, but as a consequence doesn't feel parti...
The Samsung Note range pretty much invented the phablet market, and it still makes the best use of the form factor. The S-Pen remains a standout feature which helps differentiate Notes from their rivals, and the addition of a DeX dock can literally make t...

Abstract: Forgive me for passing up the chance to beat the exploding battery joke into the ground. Let's get straight to the point: Samsung's once dominant flagship phablet is back after a two year hiatus. Sporting a stunning extra-widescreen 18.5:9 display, the ne...

Excellent performance, Gorgeous screen, Camera quality is superb
Expensive, Troubling battery life
The Samsung Galaxy Note 7 is a truly excellent phone - but unless you really need a stylus, there's little here to elevate over the similarly-superb Galaxy S8...

'Infinity Display' is excellent, Samsung's best camera x2, Fast with 6GB of RAM
‘Infinitely' expensive, Battery life held back, Weak speaker
The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is the best big phone you can buy. For once, it's more than just the size of the screen and the power of the S Pen that count. It also captures superior telephoto and bokeh-rich photos with its new dual-lens array, and it clocks...

Display performance, plenty of power, waterproofing, software refinement, so many clever options and customisations, camera performance is excellent, S Pen's expanding skills
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
There's no doubt that the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is one of the best phones of 2017. It takes everything that the Galaxy S8+ offers and pushes it a little further. This is bigger, a touch more powerful, packs in more camera and adds the S Pen, as well as of...
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
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
The Galaxy Note 8 retakes the throne as the ultimate Android phone for now, but some intense competition is just over the horizon...
Eye-catching design, excellent display, performance and camera and, most important of all, it didn't go up in flames. Or, at least, it hasn't yet
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
Yes, it's a large smartphone - probably too large for most people's uses, and that criticism extends to the price. However, if you are after a 'phablet' sized smartphone this is probably the very best that your money can buy. The display is genuinely stun...
