I'll throw a spear at whoever says the iPhone is better

I have had my S8 now for almost a week and i love it :) being stuck on iOS for 4 years and only being able to get 16gb devices i wouldn't trade back :), It was wierd at first having no physical home button and i'm still getting used to the retina scan lock but overall i am happy with it, gonna take some pictures with it later aswell when i find some time

I'd prefect the S8 over the Note 8 because it's much more comfortable to use.

IDK... N8 looks more like a higher-priced S8+ with 6 GB of RAM, dual cameras, a larger display, and an S-Pen... From some of the other first impression reviewers, it seems to be just that from a functional point-of-view as well... Time will tell if that's all it really is!

I'm a note user. Always have and always will be. The S8/S8+ just doesn't appeal to me. When they took my Note 7 back, I went back to my Note 5 so today is pre-order for us in Australia, but this will be the 1st time that I will be waiting for a couple of weeks before buying. The whole Note 7 recall in AU really left a bad taste in my mouth and I really don't want to go through that again. But I will 💯 buy it 😊

The S pen features are tempting, but I would have to stick with the smaller Galaxy S8. Bottom line: I need my phone to fit in my pocket.

Currently on an s6, would it be wise to update to the note?
Or wait and see how the Pixel 2 fairs?

Coming from a note 3 I can not wait to receive my note 8!! The multi window feature is one the note 3 has which the future versions lost. Glad to see note 8 looks like a upgrade of a lot of the standard features from note 3.

Hey, if you guys didn’t know. You could trade in your phone for $400 off the Note8 if you were a Note7 owner.

I want that background on the S8. Where can I get it?

[annajanka]

I have the S8+. But this Note 8 is tempting! It's even bigger! More screen! I always got the Note ones in previous models of this range. But when I got the S8+, it was because I couldn't wait that long for the Note and I thought the S8+ would be bigger. But it is the same as S8, just a bit taller.

Would have been nice to have a wide angle front facing camera like the Note 4!

Who's the genius who decided to put the finger print scanner there? Honestly..

Samsung has a photo ID feature....

you can unlock your device with your photo

unfortunately it's called Facial recognition...

Has anyone noticed at 6:21 the colors are totally different on s8 and note8. Note 8 display is eye catchy and highly vibrant.

The battery kept lower just not to make the device too heavy. Most of the weight of any phone is the battery. Too heavy phones are not comfortable.

What's the wallpaper that you're using in the s8, you even used it in its review

Samsung galaxy note 8 is bigger than Galaxy S8 😊😊😊
