Samsung Galaxy Note 8 review: Back in the game By GSMArena Official

What's up guys, Samsung has taken the flagship game to the next level, with the no date both in size and in price, but if you're not into the s-pen, is it worth choosing over something like the s8 plus I'm, wolf or GSM arena? And this is our Samsung Galaxy Note 8 review, with its polished, aluminum frame covered by Gorilla Glass, the Galaxy Note 8 has a glossy Sheen that really catches the eye. It's a big phone built around a 6.3 inch display. The no date is a little larger than the s8 plus it's a bit boxy or two with his squared off corners and the edges of the screen are less curved. Making the phone easier to hold onto no date is definitely a two-handed affair, though, and with this tall aspect ratio it may stick out when you put it in your pocket. Still, the build is solid in with an ip68 rating water. Isn't a problem for this phone on the back, there's the dual camera setup and next to that, the fingerprint sensor it wakes up and unlocks the phone really fast, but like the s8 plus is placement is way too high and hard to reach.

It is further away from the camera lens, though, which makes you a little less likely to smudge it. We really prefer to use other unlocking methods like the iris scanner or the face recognition. We both work fast and the iris scanner even works in the dark. Just like on the s8 there's a virtual home button on screen pressing. It offers a subtle, haptic vibration.

The sim slot is located on the top of the phone you can find both single sim or dual sim versions of the no-date and storage is expandable. A single speaker on the bottom has good loudness levels and sounds about the same as the s8, but it makes a question at this price point and sighs. Why not have a stereo setup? There is a 3.5 millimeter jack on the bottom, for your standard, headphones and next to that are the USB type-c port and a spring-loaded s-pen dock. The style is called. The s-pen is the signature of the note series, along with the pressure-sensitive digitizer built into the screen, just click the pen pull it out, and now you can immediately start taking notes, no need to even turn your screen on pressing the button on the side of the S Pen brings up the Air Command menu to access features.

A new one is live message. It turns what you draw into a GIF, which you can then message to your friends. Some other functions include automatic translation, magnifying the screen and capturing scrolling screenshots there's enough sensitivity to make decent sketches on your phone and the stylus offers you much more precision when using the interface to the UI is the same as what we've seen on Samsung's other phones. This year, Samsung experienced running over Android 7.1.1 new get a single swipe opens the edge panel, giving access to apps people and tasks split screen mode, get some love here. You can now create a shortcut to launch a particular pair of apps together, didn't forget, Bixby's, Samsung's virtual assistant and with a dedicated button on the side.

They want to make sure that you don't forget it either. We found it to be not that intrusive, unless you accidentally press the button, and it can be useful but Bixby vision, which is a feature built into the camera interface, is still not so great at recognizing things like the essay, the no-date brings Samsung's curved infinity display the 6.3 inch AMOLED is gorgeous with a HD resolution, and it feels almost the whole surface of the phone. Everything looks spotless and sharp on this screen. It's the best we've seen yet from Samsung. It's super bright and really easy to read in sunlight and when the phone's asleep the always-on display, gives you the time and notifications at a glance our Galaxy Note 8 has an X in US, 8, 8, 9, v, chipset and 6 gigs of RAM, but depending on the market, you can find it running on a snapdragon 835 in benchmark snow days with both chipsets perform equally well and are near the top of the pack.

For this year's flagships. The node 8 opens apps just fine ?, it's one of the snappier phones, we've seen at 3300 William hours. The battery in the node 8 is a bit smaller than the one in the s 8, plus it's a bit strange as it's a larger phone. Its battery life is just as good, though, and scored 89 hours in our proprietary test, routine, with quick charge, 2.0 recharge the battery from 0 to 40% in 30 minutes, and it also supports wireless charging, which is pretty convenient. The node 8 has the same math 1.7 camera found on the galaxy s 8, but for the first time for Samsung, there's also a second telephoto camera. This one at f/2 point for both our 12-megapixels and both have IS pictures come out with great detail, high dynamic range and really low noise.

Colors are vibrant. There may be a bit over saturating. The telephoto camera allows for two times lossless zoom on your subject. Shooting through this camera is a little slower and softer than the main camp, but is still one of the sharpest telephoto cameras we've seen after it gets dark shots, have low noise and lots of detail. Helping, oh, is on the telephoto lens really helps.

If you want to zoom at night, though, the phone will switch the wide-angle if it gets too dark. The dual cameras allow you to create a live focus, shot with a blurred background behind your subject. The effect is great, but sometimes a piece of hair might get blurred out. You can adjust the level of blur anytime in post, and you can even switch between the telephoto and wide-angle after the picture is taken. The eight megapixel front-cam also has autofocus.

So it's easy to get a nice selfie selfies, a sharp and really detailed.4K videos are great with lots of detail and the same saturated colors as still shots. We did notice some focus hunting when using the telephoto zoom, though 1080p videos are perfect too, but with a little more noise than 4k the Galaxy Note 8 is an impressive piece of technology. Bringing some of the best we've seen in a smartphone and unlike PS, 8 plus, is dual cameras, give you both shots and lossless zoom, but the big size isn't for everyone, and a lot of what it can do is flush. A competitor's can do as well. The evening feature you're getting here is yes pen a streamlined way of interacting with your phone, which you won't find anywhere else.

This is something that would fit your lifestyle. Then, despite the high price tag, the Galaxy Note 8 could be the right choice for you, thanks for watching, don't forget to Like and subscribe.
