I bought this phone as a secondhand used unit a few days ago for about $35 (honest). While the phone itself has a green screen issue that requires a hardware fix, this is my first time trying out Samsung DeX, and it didn't take me long to fall in love with it. Speaking of DeX, the main reason why I buy this particular phone is because of Linux on DeX (LoD). Samsung has dropped LoD since Android 10, so the only way for me to try it out is to get a Samsung flagship that doesn't go beyond Android 9.0 Pie.

Bought the Note 8 when it was fresh and just out.
Still use it as my main Phone. Tried the note 10 and a few others in recent times, and frankly they simply did not justify the price.
I got the Note 8 as I had the Note 3 and that I still got, but it slowed down with an update and so when Samsung do that to the Note 8, then I will move away from Samsung.
Until then however, I cannot fault the Note 8.
For what it is worth, I have a load of phones as I am simply a pleb that likes to have lots of phones. Only a few have any credit on them, and I use them for media players or simply for kicks, and my favourites are weirdly enough, blackberrys.

Just got the Galaxy Note 8 this month. Marvellous phone, very reliable but bigger and heavier than my previous Samsung phone! Good camera.

For those who didn't know, the iPhone 8 copied Samsung's Note 8 in terms of the amount of cameras with it.

I remember the Note8 as a very good phone. I was just reviewing photographs that I took with it from my last surf fishing trip to Island Beach State Park in New Jersey back on December 22, 2017. The week previous I'd been down there and got caught up in a mini-blizzard and while the Note8 and I were out there in 25° weather being pelted with snow I realize now (I appreciate it more) that the Note8 performed very well in extreme conditions.
In the time in which the Note8 debuted it was a very capable phone. The top of the smartphone world. Mine was received on the Tuesday after Labor Day because Verizon, apparently, wanted to beat every other carrier to market. I believe that I had my Note8 at least ten days before anyone with a different carrier had theirs. The gift that year, 2017, was a Samsung Gear 360 camera which I still use.

Laur, 31 Jan 2022When will we get a new update?There are no new updates planned. Maybe a random security patch in the future or some minor bug fixes but that's pretty much it. Nothing regular in any case.

This is the only Samsung phone I have ever used as a daily driver, purchased in 2017 after its launch. Very yood device with all the bells and whistles and good build quality. Absolutely sturdy second place behind Nokia. My next phone will be a Nokia or a Samsung or a Fairphone. I'm very much into the Fairphone philosophy so I might give them a chance. No Chinese phones or Apple phone will come in my house. But that's my opinion.

I have had my Note 8 since 2017. I have never had to change the battery, and I use my phone A LOT. I have not had any technical problems with it, and I really hate to get rid of it, but this model, I assume because of its age, will not transfer to my new service provider. The only issue I have had with this phone, and all the Galaxy phones I have had, is that some of my icons have been there so long that they have burned their image onto the screen, so I have ghosts. I know that I caused this issue, though, because I have the brightness turned up - I like to look at vivid, bright color screens.

Aadrian, 19 Oct 2021I am very reluctant to upgrade to a newer phone. This Note8... moreSame case , Sep 2017 purchase - Very heavy user. Changed my battery in Nov 2021 . Same issues as urs , hardly any backup time.
Changed for 2500 INR . About 35$ . Its back to how it was the day i bought it.
Forcefully did a reset and i love the phone still. Dont see a worthy upgrade yet.
Will get the S22 Note if i really like it.
Else the Note reign continues.
No ultrawide-- no issues - macro - no issues.
No stereo - no issues
what matters to me are IP68 , SD card . the processor is still decent . lacks only in Video editing. It takes a long time.
