Complete package. Note series from Note 10 don't have the complete package no more.
No 3,5mm jack.
No heart rate sensor.
No LED for notifications.
No iris scanner.
Even S10 is more complete than Note 10 apart from the s-pen.
That's a sadvthing, it's like stripping the most feature rich phone on the market from many features.

Waxasky, 03 Oct 2021Note 8 and LG v40 which one should I go for?Where do you live? Midrange class nowadays are not bad like it were, i suggest to buy a newer mid high phone for a longlast day and better specs, rather than buy old series phone (except you need a secondary phone for personal image purpose)

Pra, 26 Nov 2021My phone dosent show IMEI number. What can I do?Where and when did you buy it? New or secondhand? Official warranty or imported? Lost Imei from bought it or had used for long time? Try to hard reset, if it not work, must root for injecting imei BUT that means triggered Knox PERMANENTLY, it also means Samsung Apps that rely on Knox system won't work anymore

I purchased note 8 during initial launch in Sept 2017 from India. The note 8 stopped recognizing sims and simcard manager crashes every time. Just using the phone only for wifi. Phoned the USA support system , but regretted as the phone was purchased while I was in India. Unreliable. Undependable . Had to change to iphone

Anonymous, 15 Nov 2021How do you check the battery health percentage?I use an app called AccuBattery. After a couple of charges and discharges it measures the capacity. Obviously it probably isn't 100% accurate but it gives you an idea of what the capacity is after the use of several months and years. It also gives you advice of how to get the most out of the battery.

Battery capacity after over 4 years is now down to 89% on my Note8, not too bad. I do notice that when it's below 20% of battery it goes to zero very quickly and before you know it it's turning itself off.

One of the best phone produced by Samsung. Too bad they went downhill and produce overpriced garbage now.

I am very reluctant to upgrade to a newer phone. This Note8 has it all, so many features, while the Note 20 and also the upcoming Note 22 or S 22 Ultra will lack features like a 3,5mm jack, heart rate sensor, iris scanner, LED notification light, and so on. But I have to upgrade sooner or later, it's 4 years old and still working like a new one but the battery is not 100% anymore after 4 years of use and I am not planning to change the battery.

I purchased this phone in August 2018. It's been a great phone, only complaint is I wish it was a little smaller. In April of this year, I decided to upgrade to Note 20 Ultra 5G. I had it a couple of days and was not that impressed, especially with how much it cost. I returned the phone and reactivated my Note 8. Then in early September my battery started to die. So I decided to replace the battery. I even did it myself. I have a local wholesale mobile phone supplier in my area, so I decided to do it myself. It was a little tricky, but with the right tools and YouTube videos, it's doable. Since I replaced the battery the phone is working better than ever. Plan on keeping it awhile. It also made me look at my charging habits. Learned I was overcharging my phone battery, plus changed a lot of settings on my phone to make it more battery saving. For phone parts I would check out www.fixez.com, and for help with battery settings check out How to improve your phone's battery life at businessnewsdaily.com

And I would not recommend attempting to do it yourself without some serious experience and proper tools.
The device is no longer set for updates, will never officially have Android 10 <
The battery is 3300mAh with a ton of neat little hardware, security features, and specialized proprietary software, and bloatware of course, running constantly, so yes it will die quickly, especially if you enable Full GNSS constellation tracking in Developer Options, as it removes the duty cycle of the GPS and similar hardwares.
The predecessor Samsung Galaxy 7 , if you recall, was revised and recalled after one of the units batteries, which was faulty, essentially exploded on someone , while in a plane.
Li-Ion batteries are no joke when they get damaged or over-temp, to prevent headsplosions and planes landing everywhere, they reduced the physical size and in turn the storage capacity of the batteries, which also provided for better thermal management of the cells.
I have seen viable options on Ebay and Amazon, USB-C Power Banks , some even as high as 6,500 mAh that double as phone cases (the case/bank also has a USB-C port to allow for OTG and the like). They all seem to cost approx. $30-65 USD
Personally I would go for that option , and may eventually.
