Guys,
How's your Note 8 held up against time?
Timely updates?
Did anyone experience the phone slowing down over time?
Is it still snappy or a bit slower than it used to be??
How much screen on time you get in an average day?
(I'm curious to know how samsung is treating the Note line, I have a S7 edge and planning to upgrade to a Note 9 in a couple of weeks) (Note 9 is essentially the same phone with a few minor upgrades, what I really I want to know if samsung forget about their last year flagships once they release a new one. That's why I'm asking this from Note 8 fans)
Thanks in Advance :)

Curtisjr1, 23 Jan 2019and how about battery and performanceBoth are great. I was quite worried about it's battery life the day I got it as I had read some negative comments about the battery being poor but that wasn't the case. I'm not a gamer so it stays for over a day with wifi on all day (except when I go to bed) use it a lot for social networking sites and camera.

I'm really impressed with this phone. It reminds me of my previous S6 edge+ which was fantastic and one of the few phones I used for years. When I bought the S6 edge+ it was one of the sexiest phone out there and now the note 8 is on the same track. I've only good things to write about it good battery life, great cameras infact I've become a photographer since I got this phone lol!! I really love to watch movies on it's gorgeous screen and the s-pen is great advantage as now I don't have to write down the things on paper which I need from the grocery store. All in all a perfect phone at a great price.

I've had the phone for a year and have nothing but good things to say about it. I have the DEX to make it a desktop computer but i mostly use it to watch YouTube videos on my TV. I hear the Note 9 has a built in DEX which is nice but I'm not spending big bucks again, ill wait until this phone breaks before i buy another one. FYI, i had the Note 2 for almost 6 years before it blew-up. If Samsung keeps making quality products i wont have a reason to look elsewhere. :-)

PartTimePhoner, 17 Jan 2019is the battery life really bad?The battery life is by far not bad. It's actually pretty good. I have to see and wait how the battery will behave after the Pie update in March according to the Samsung members app. So far the battery performs well enough. I am not a heavy user so for me it actually performs great. My Nokia 5.1 plus is better with batterylife but I can't complain about the Note8 with the bigger screen and much higher PPI.

Battery life's really good it isn't bad by any means it holds up pretty well. It just dropped by 2% from night till morning which is remarkable, I had nightmares with the battery life of my S8 which used to go down by 10-15% overnight but this one is excellent. I'm really happy with my note 8 :-)

metech, 17 Jan 2019can we disable Bixby ? also disable the button ? You can disable the Bixby button in the settings when you're on the Bixby home screen. I did that too because frankly it's quite annoying when you accidentally press the button, which did happen really often.
About disabling the Bixby home screen, simply tap and hold a blank area on the home screen, then swipe to the far left, and switch the Bixby home screen off. There is little switch in the upper right corner, turning blue or grey depending on whether you switch it off or on.

Got my note 8 (maple gold) today with free tempered glass and back glass protector, got tons of updates as it was running on 7.1 updated it to oreo with some security patches. The screen is really gorgeous and so is the phone, although it weighs 195 gm but doesn't feel like, the phone is really tall and I like big phones as I've big hands. Hope it turns out to be a good investment :-)
