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
At first glance, it's pretty easy to underestimate the Galaxy Note 8 on account of its familiarity after months of seeing the Galaxy S8+ in the wild. But the big thing to remember is that the Galaxy S8 and S8+ are Samsung's best-ever selling flagships, so...
Abstract: When the Note 7 went under, the entire Note brand almost went with it. But shortly after the fallout, Samsung executives discovered something interesting: Note fans are a passionate bunch. Encouraged by what it heard from past and present Note owners (som...
Bright, brilliant 6.3-inch screen is a stunner in any light, Dual camera is a big step up from the S8 and Live Focus is a winner, The S Pen is better than ever and truly complements the Note's screen, Battery life in excellent despite a decrease in size
Bixby button and fingerprint sensor are a nuisance, It might be a bit too big and heavy for some users
The Galaxy Note 8 is nothing less than a triumphant return for Samsung's flagship phablet and the best phone it has ever rmade...

Prodigious price, Fingerprint scanner is awkwardly-placed, Bixby button is annoying
There's nothing quite like a Galaxy Note. Samsung's flagship may not stray wildly beyond the Galaxy S8 and S8+ we've already seen, but the changes it brings – S Pen, camera, and more RAM – pay dividends in all the right ways. Certainly it's not a cheap de...

Gorgeous 6.3-inch Infinity Display, Fantastic dual cameras, Fun and useful S Pen enhancements, Handy App Pair feature, Strong overall performance, Very good battery life
Awkward placement of fingerprint sensor, A couple of early bugs, Very pricey
Spending nearly $1,000 on a smartphone seems a bit nuts when you can get a very good phone, like the OnePlus 5, for less than $500. But the Note 8 isn't just very good — it is awesome. The combination of its glorious 6.3-inch Infinity Display, excellent d...

Huge, beautiful display, Excellent, water-resistant build, Great dual camera, S Pen is now more useful and fun
Very expensive, Bixby can be flaky, Not a huge improvement over the S8 Plus, US version gets less storage than other regions

Abstract: Annnnd I'm back from the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 event after spending a good amount of time with the latest do-everything phone. I ran through the software, the S Pen features, felt that premium glass and metal body, and dove into the camera, since this is...
