          I would rather have front facing Stereo speaker, built-in dedicated DAC+Amp and headphone jack.

            those bezels on the iphone look bigger than on my mimix, but might just be the dummy. I hate the missing piece on the front top. But hey, I wont buy any apple anyway. The Note 8 isn't for me either, way too pricey.

              AnonD-632062, 24 Aug 2017True. BTW are you getting the Note8? Or waiting for the Note9?It a very strange feeling - I am not so excited about getting the Note8. Mainly due to the fact that I have experienced most of the Note8's features with the Note7, and then going back to using my Note 3. I don't miss iris scanning to unlock since I use Google smart lock which keeps my phone open if paired with a trusted BT device, and I do not care about bokeh effects.

              There is no 128GB version being officially announced for international distribution, but the freebies of a Gear 360 is tempting (for all my live art demonstration). I want to see all the reviews, wait for at least 128GB version or 256GB if there is a possibility, wait for what Zerolemon's external battery. This might be until early next year, but the Note8 is not a priority now. Looks like I'll spend on a Surface Pro first at almost the same starting point, but I think I have lost a bit of the love for a new Galaxy Note.

              A lot to pay for the need for a new f/1.7 camera that I have loved on the Note7. Maybe I'd go for a Note FE or a J7 Pro. I'm really not so sure with the Note8 anymore.

                    Once apple releases this phone to the public, the demand is going to be way more than supply.
                    My speculation, 50 million units can be sold if supplies weren't so limited

                      As shown by the comparison, I would like to go support I phone 8 coz of the huge size of note 8 which will makes me struggle a lot to control the device by one hand.and the size of battery in note 8 is so tiny in compare with the screen size and the high resolution which consume the battery in a short period of time.

                        Don't know why but Apple is behind respect to design.

                          I'd choose neither
                          I want the Galaxy S8 Active

                            This year apple will left far behind to Samsung. Samsung is always ahead of apple. Functions and features of samsung are more capable and more usable than apple. I bet this year apple share will be reduced. Their stock will not get high up last year(7 and 7+ come out and last year share).

                              Beauty & the Beast!

                                As for me, the stereo speaker is much more useful.Either to play music or games the stereo speaker would definitely boost my experience. As I have my airpods, I don't think the 3.5 mm headphone jack would come to much use. So, iPhone 8 all the way for me.

                                  AnonD-632062, 24 Aug 2017True. BTW are you getting the Note8? Or waiting for the Note9?May as well wait for surface phone. After some time I find it less interesting as most of its design and specs is from half year old S line. Way to get fans bored.

                                        Nothing wrong with the size of the camera. The problem is why it so hard for them to make the phone thicker for better holding, more battery and no camera bump.
