Samsung Galaxy Note8 hands-on review: First impressions

23 August 2017
The successor to the Samsung Galaxy Note 4/5 is finally here - meet the Galaxy Note8. Wait, what? Okay, Europeans didn’t get the Note5 because Samsung, and we all know how the Note7 lived a shorter product life than it deserved. So in a way, a few of us Note lovers have been stuck with three-year-old Notes, looking at some poor S-Pen-less S7 edges and S8s to fill the void.

At least the camera arrangement is better than the rumored vertical camera arrangement on anniversary iPhone

    It's 2017 and still no stereo speakers? I am so disappointed with Samsung. Don't even remind me with the awkward fingerprint sensor position. Arrogant Samsung doesn't listen to the customers' feedbacks.

            Samsung isn't the last to move to dual cams; Sony still has the single one.

                Be honnest: when comparing the specs this is a slightly updated Galaxy S8+ with S-Pen. There is nothing new. Wondering why the Note8 still uses QuickCharge 2.0 instead of 3.0 or 4.0.

                This is a golden chance for LG to shine with the V30.

                      It's super-tall, brings almost nothing new, and the battery size is the same as in the much smaller LG G6. No thanks !
