I like the long-press contextual menus for apps, and that the app drawer is just done by swiping up. I particularly enjoyed the “edge” menus: you can swipe in from the right and see a favorite apps and people menu.

I may be softening in my old age, because I didn’t find the skinned version of Android Nougat that annoying (Oreo will come to Samsung at some point). I am constantly harping on how much I hate custom skins on Android. Writing that above note felt exactly like taking notes on paper. I’m still not a pen guy, but I can see the argument. The ability to write up to 100 pages of memos on the locked screen is clever.

The software aspects are cleverly baked in too. The pen itself is comfortable and easier to use than past versions. While the camera may be trickling down, you can be sure the S-Pen stylus will not. So the Note 8 is still a fairly rare thing in the Samsung ecosystem. Note that while the newly-announced Galaxy S9+ will indeed have a dual-camera too, the normal S9 won’t. Then that picture of Saint Patrick’s Cathedral was so great till I had to resize it. In the hands of a real photographer, I can see the Note 8 camera making some fantastic pictures. Also? I am kicking myself for not bringing this review unit to Toy Fair 2018. Since I’m not so gifted with a camera, I thought I would let the below sample images speak for themselves. If you are a serious photographer though, this may frustrate you. So it’s a perfect phone for someone like me, who doesn’t crave as much control over his camera. Instead, the Note 8 auto-senses and switches.

Sadly for shutterbugs, there’s no manual way to control what camera you’re using. The two lenses are a wide angle and a telephoto, but that 12 MP. Other reviewers are calling the Samsung camera the best dual system they’ve used yet. I’ve been a fan of dual-camera setups since I first used one on the Honor 8. This is the first Samsung phone with a dual-camera rig, and it’s impressive.
#Handy note 8 plus
Where the Note differs from the Plus is in two ways – the included S-Pen stylus and the dual-camera setup. It lasted days at one point, while I was distracted by other reviews. Can you blame Samsung for playing it safe on the latest Note battery? Still, even with that minor difference, battery life is insane.

The battery, on the other hand, is technically smaller than the one in the S8+. In tests, other people don’t see a difference, but I suspect over time it will be helpful with more demanding apps and games. Samsung also put a large amount of RAM in, 6 GB vs 8 GB in the S8 and S8+. Once you plug those in, sound gets quite good. Thankfully, Samsung has bucked trends and included both a headphone jack on the device and a pair of decent earbuds in the box. Sadly, the sound is not as “big.” The audio on the Note 8 is basically typical smartphone audio. I don’t know that you’ll notice a difference, but it’s fun that you can.

I’m not enthused about that, can you tell? By the way, the screen runs at Full HD+ but can actually go higher resolution if you hit settings! Yup, you can go up to 2,960 x 1440 pixels, aka WQHD+. They also have the same annoying, non-mappable Bixby button, for calling up Samsung’s virtual assistant. They both have the same edge-to-edge “Infinity Display”, and both render things stunningly. Heck, even Samsung has a Samsung Galaxy S8+ phone with a 6.2″ display. So much so that other companies have copied it with “Plus” sized phones. Clear calls, fast data, and just a happy little device. Sprint in the NY Metro area can sometimes be spotty. A recall was had, and Samsung lost precious market and mind share.Īs this phone was provided by Sprint, I want to start with a note that the service on the Galaxy Note 8 was great. Stories of exploding batteries engulfed news sites and sales dropped. It’s important to remember the failure that was the Galaxy Note 7. I know the real phone geeks in the room are drooling over the just announced Galaxy S9, but let’s focus on the attainable here, ok? Sprint was kind enough to lend me a Galaxy Note 8 to review. It’s been a long time since I’ve had the pleasure of reviewing either a Samsung phone or a phone on the Sprint network.
