For many, the wait has been frustrating.

But the Galaxy Note 8 does have one big benefit: the S Pen, of course. It has the latest 10nm chip powering it, along with a massive 6GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. So, let’s directly get on to the important stuff. Specifically, Samsung will knock up to $425 off the Note 8 with a trade-in. Out of the three devices, the corners on the Galaxy S8 Plus are more rounded. It uses the same Infinity display technology as the Galaxy S8 duo.
While the front looks handsome, I can’t say the same about the back.
Number of Samsung Galaxy Note 8 features have already been leaked out on the internet.
Did you own a Galaxy Note 7? Additionally, the device has every expected specification such as Iris scanner, fingerprint scanner, Samsung Pay, WIreless charging, fast charging, ANT+ support, USB Type C support. And yes, the phone is IP68 certified. The Note 8 is packing a 6.3-inch 2960×1440 Super AMOLED display with curved edges and slim bezels all around. It’s a 6.3 inch Quad HD (2,960 x 1,440p) panel with 18.5:9 aspect ratio.
Like a lot of high-end devices, the Note 8 chassis has an aluminum frame and glass back panel.
The battery might be an issue for some, considering what happened past year. More than the Galaxy Note 7, the Galaxy Note 8 seems o have borrowed more clues from the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus smartphones launched in the first half of 2017.
Perhaps the coolest addition to the Note8 is at the back of the handset where there is not one but two 12MP camera sensors. Not too shabby for a phone that just came out. The pre-orders however open August 24 in most markets. It is the same as the iPhone 7 Plus.
The camera sports a dual-pixel camera. The combination also means you can do Apple-style portraits, with the ability to tweak the background blur (ala Huawei).
Of the dual cameras, one of them comes with f/1.7 for wide-angle images and one taking zoomed images at f/2.4 aperture. Coming to the selfie experience, the Galaxy Note 8 comes with the same 8MP sensor with the f/1.7 aperture as seen on the Galaxy S8 Plus.
How much do you save?
The battery capacity is 3,300 mAh, which is lower than the 3,500 mAh pack used in the fire-prone Note 7.
Samsung said its S Pen is capable of discerning 4,096 levels of pressure, making it feel and act like an actual pen. The all new S-Pen that comes with the Galaxy Note 8 is now waterproof. The firm announced App Pair which will allow you to launch two apps with one tap for example opening maps and your music player before starting your journey. It aims to make full use of the phone’s large screen to increase productivity. Bixby assistant is also present to show some tricks.
The Note 8 goes on sale on September 15 and pre-orders start tomorrow. However, it brings S Pen support, and dual cameras in tow.
