    This is my second Note that I purchased. The first one was for my wife, but after setting it up and playing around with it. All I can say is I love this phone. I am a Apple user by heart, but this phone goes way beyond IPhone X. I use the note more for business purposes and you can't go wrong!.

    The Swiss Army Knife of Phones

    Great design build. Smoothly handles multitasking with very little slow down. The screen is incredible perfect for media consumption. Enjoy the S Pen for navigating the device or editing documents. Speaker is a little muffled and can easily get blocked. Bixby is rather quick and handy for handling task on your phone. Beware that some carrier functions may not work on this unlocked device, you will have to make system or software changes to get them to work. Overall a Swiss Army Knife of phones that I carry daily.

    It was a Christmas gift for someone special. I have not used it to fully comment on the functionality of the camera or the phone. However, the purchase was based on the recommendation of the owner. By your understanding, it is a great phone and I am happy to purchase one.Great deal.

    This phone is the maximum, its applications, its battery, its size, its speed, do not compare with any other smartphone. for me it is the best one on the market so far.

    The best Samsung experience

    My first Android smartphone was the Galaxy S4, I was blow away by the performance and speed of the device (Software update are another story). But 4 years later the statement still holds true. The Note 8 is a beautiful phone with outstanding quality and attention to detail. In the past I've used the Nexus 5X, Huawei Honor 8, Blackberry KEYone, and even the iPhone X and yet, even though I miss the Blackberry's keyboard, I can't help but find almost no faults with this phone. The finger print scanner is in a alright position, it didn't take me long to get used to it. The cameras are top notch. I would really recommend.

    This Samsung Galaxy Note8 is probably the best phone I have ever owned. I bought it unlocked therefore I don't have a carrier skin/bloatware. The camera is awesome!

    Perfectly smooth transition from my old Galaxy S4 and a whole lot more. Built in App that provides all the further instruction anyone needs. Best Buy personnel was also great at getting SIM card info transferred from old phone and absolutely no information was lost.

    I've always been a fan of Samsungs, and android systems. A few years ago i fell in love with the Note5, and this upgrade to the Note8 has definitely met all expectations I had. Larger display screen, excellent camera quality, overall, pretty perfect.

    I graduated to this Samsung Note with S-Pen and recommend to everyone! I am an avid android user though far from tech expert. I did alot of research. Instead of buying directly from my phone carrier or manufacturer, Best Buy had an awesome promotion and onsite support.. yay me!! Using S-Pen is my favorite resource since I can write down thoughts or shopping lists free hand...this is awesomeness!!

    This is the 2nd time purchasing this phone after losing the 1st one due to a poorly designed OtterBox. I like the fact that the unlocked phones don't come with all the bloatware included on the phones from the various carriers. Easy set up with Samsung Smart Switch. Phone comes with house charger, micro USB to USB-C adapter, USB-C to USB adapter, ear buds with extra ear cushions, a quick start guide and an owners manual. Just insert your SIM card and you're ready to go. This phone is fast and has a beautiful screen.
