Crisp display
Stylus adds a massive potential for functionality
Familiar interface and feeling to the device
Impressive overall performance of the tablet
The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is comfortable to hold and has the best-looking small tablet screen yet. Writing with the S Pen feels natural and is preferred over typing on a tablet screen. Storage can be expanded via microSD

The editors didn't like
Disappointing battery life
Despite capacity
Limited storage space – just 16 GB
Front facing camera is poor quality
The $399 price is a lot for a small tablet
No matter its features. It's not as thin or as light as the iPad Mini
And some people won't appreciate the highly saturated look of the OS. Also
Its face buttons sometimes get in the way and there are occasion
Below average battery life
Slippery
Plastic build
Too expensive
No flash player
Browser zoom and reflow needs work
IR Blaster range poor
Plastic casing still isn't premium for us
Screen resolution is a little dated and could be better
Fast SoC, Very bright display, Lots of RAM, Price, Phone functionality
No FullHD display, Contrast too low and black value too high, Battery life not that satisfying, Power adapter gets warm under load
The new Galaxy Note 8.0 is quite impressiveDuring the course of our review, we've called the Note 8.0 a tablet, a smartphone, and a tabphone since we didn't quite know what to call the device. At this point, we are still not sure. The Note 8.0 is too larg...
Samsung's S Pen is great, smooth performance, good for multitasking, plenty of storage
Screen isn't great, poor design, Samsung's Touchwiz user interface can be overpowering

Abstract: I love my iPad mini but after I borrowed a friend's Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 recently I had to buy one. The Note 8.0 has a similar size to that of the iPad mini but the resemblance ends there. Samsung has added features that are unique to the Note 8.0 that...
Excellent battery life, Useful multitasking controls, Stylus is very accurate and handy for note taking
Very expensive compared to alternatives, Poor camera quality
The Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 is a beautiful little tablet, there's no doubt about it. It has a nice screen, great battery life, and some very unique features. Unfortunately, it's also a relatively expensive tablet. At a $400 base price, it's one of the mo...
The 16GB, Wi-Fi only version of the Galaxy Note 8 is available in the United States for $399, a price that isn't exactly cheap, but not unreasonably high either. It's clear that Samsung made some compromises in the specs and features department to be able...
Blazing fast in benchmarks, S Pen and display are very responsive, Great for note taking / annotation
Can be tough to use one-handed, Plastics are underwhelming, WatchON app incomplete, Expensive
Performance Analysis: From a pure performance standpoint, it's really hard to knock the Galaxy Note 8.0. With its 1.6GHz quad-core Exynos SoC paired to 2GB of RAM, Samsung has created a top performer on the benchmark track. It blew away the single- and du...
The Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 brings features a-plenty and the beauty that is the S Pen to the small tablet form factor. But is the $399 price too much to justify?The Galaxy Note 8 is Samsung's latest small form-factor tablet, and it checks in with a $399 p...
Light, thin, attractive, Strong performance, advanced multitasking, Robust stylus-input support, Worthy modifications to Android OS, Works as a universal remote
Stylus time-consuming to master, No dedicated HDMI or USB ports, Short battery life
This compact pen-enabled slate feels snappy, and it comes with several highly effective multitasking and stylus-input features. Short battery life is its only real shortcoming. ...
There are a lot of negative points up there, but keep in mind, pointing them out is my job. I really enjoyed using the Galaxy Note 8.0, with the form factor, performance, and a few of Samsung's software enhancements populating the "plus" column. The on...
