Although I have to say the Note 8 is clearly the more advance phone here. I'm still leaning towards the Mate 10 Pro (even without sd slot and headphone jack input) coz the dynamic range of the camera is better (I'm a photography student and I'm planning an Instagram dedicated to smartphone street photography) and it has some handy unique features like the knuckle input, the switching of account with your fingerprint, IR blaster and in general I keep hearing people saying that EMUI stays fast and responsive overtime white touchwiz/Samsung experience (tends to slowdown).

Two main noticeable features of mate 10 are that it can connect to big screen without any need of dock. And it has thot protection. Boom. Samsung you lose😃

The real competitor for Mate 10 is Iphone 8/X not the Note 8. Note 8 is for different market that value S Pen more.

Audio sound quality need improvement. I can’t hear what you say. Note 10?? Mate 8?? Very confusing switching back and forth between the 2 phones.

Got mate 10 pro instead of note 8 because a) it costs nearly 150$ less, has way better battery life and the speakers on the phone are awesome.

NOTE 8 hands down 👍 allthough mate 10 is great too, would be my second choice if they run out of note 8 in stores...

I need soundcamp which is exclusively for samsung flagships. Its like garageband for iOS. But better. If huawei has a dedicated DAW, then its a winwin.

He forgot to mention the huawei mate 10 pro has a connectivity to a big screen without any type of dock connector just plug the type c connector to hdmi and its boom you got a pc type device...

[chococ.]

both one on the same level, but the Mate 10 Pro have the better chipset with included KI prozessor, no winner is on visual look from the user !!

Thank you recombu, i wanted to buy the note 8, but now that i saw that the residual file cleaner is powered by Clean Master, i won't

As a mate 9 owner I would rather fork out €50 more and go for the note 8, kind of disappointed in the mate 10 series too many variables between the mate 10 and that mate 10 pro
