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
Right now, consumers are spoiled for choice when it comes to top-end smartphones. I've used a lot over the past few weeks and months, and pretty much all of them offer something appealing – if different – to photographers.The Note 8 manages to combine two...
Samsung's Note line continues to be the company's dominant phone in terms of mind share, if not market share. Excellent hardware is filled with top-end specs and all sorts of hardware features that you desire, and the icing on the cake is the super-powerf...

Raw performance, Speaker quality, Onehand friendly option, More polished software experience, Stylus input, Fast recharge times, Storage expansion, Headphone jack
When you're spending around $1,000 for a smartphone, you're going to want to have a lot to like – and both of these handsets very much deliver. They're at the top of their games in performance, camera quality, visuals, and offering software that feels cus...
Abstract: Reason No. 297 why waterproof phones are handy.A few years ago, you'd be hard pressed to find an elegant, premium phone that was also waterproof. Aside from Sony's Xperia phones, most waterproof phones were clunky-looking with mid-tier specs.These days th...
Abstract: Samsung has bested the already awesome S8 and S8+, with the new Galaxy Note 8. After the battery issue that nearly killed the Note series, Samsung has risen from the Note 7's ashes to put forth a brilliant device with the Note 8.Samsung has given a lot of...

Abstract: As a preface, I've been on HTC phones since 2009 at least, and rooted HTC phone since 2010, so some of these observations are probably a little out there for a stock phone user, but here goes.I've been using the Galaxy Note 8 nonstop since a repair place...

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...
