People complain about the Note 8's price ($930), but not about the iPhone 8's price ($1, 200)

I'm still using this beast in 2022. It's held up shockingly well.

Most people do not understand how innovative the S-Pen is and Samsung flagship phones are. Remember Apple's best stylus is called the "Apple Pencil" and it actually needs to be charged up to work, but the S-Pen is powered by a special "field" above the screen so that you can hover select etc. People also don't know that with Samsung phones you can use Samsung Pay (using MST or Magnetic Secure Transmission technology) to pay on almost ANY credit card scanner without support for NFC payments. There are many more innovations that you get with Samsung phones that you just don't get with other phones.

It's September of 2021. I just refurbished the Note 8 I've been using since launch and plan on getting at least one more year out of it. This phones been awesome.

I myself had a note 7 and thought it was the absolute best phone ever... I was willing to wait for the note 8 so I decided to get a note 5 temporarily... little did I know that they would offer up to 480 for my note 5 for trade in for the note 8. As well as throw in a choice between Samsung 360 cam or wireless charger and 128 gb sd card. Thank you Samsung!!!! I've had my note 8 since yesterday and I already am in love with it!!!

Great, honest and unbiased review. Just plain and nice explanation without the exaggerated hype. Well done.

The S8 is a completely different phone aimed at a completely different audience. I wish these reviewers could understand this.

"This piece of plastic" I HOPE you weren't serious with that one. It's not JUST a piece of plastic. S Pen software is exclusive to the Note series and if you EVER used a Note, you'd know that the software alone is enough for anyone to buy the Note8. It's a completely different experience than using a normal phone with a stylus, it's not just for touch and type.

Samsung: makes almost 1000$ phone


Apple: hold my beer

I have this phone and I love it, it used to be my dads for 3 years and still works fine( this is in 2020 and its great)

Using note8 for more than 6 month or so and absolutelly love it. I have been an dedicated Iphone user for 12 years then I changed my iPhone to a Samsung note 5 due to work! First experience was great then I was waiting for note7 and we all know what happened. Kept my note5 waited note8. I am glad you all bring back the note phones and made it way way better. Only downside is battery. It is not horrible but I guess I use more than others, I watch allot, surface net allot and AKG headphones are so confy but using note8 with the galaxy watch and every other device is battery draining. Other than that you all made a fantastic phone and pls keep up the good work.I will be seriously interested in a NoteX!!!

Can you post the awesome wallpaper, just like with the S8?

[fabianher]

Please do not follow the advice of any of these reviewers, just go out and play with the phone yourself, I went to my local bestbuy with in a few minutes I was sold. Preordered my note 8

[EdWard]

I'll wait another year, or more, for the note 8 price to come down. It simply doesn't warrant the price versus what my s7 does.
