    This phone is very snappy, runs multiple applications without issue. Battery life is very good considering screen size and heavy usage. The "bixby" button is bloatware in the physical sense, would be nice if could reconfigure for something else... maybe can, I haven't tried.

    I was a victim of the Note 7 Debacle and had lost a little faith in Samsung Phones. However, the Note 8 has restored my faith. This phone has delivered on all of my expectations. The screen is vibrant, the S-Pen is great, and the new Bixby assistant is an added plus. I thought it would be awkward not having the home button, but it didn't take long getting accustomed to not having it and pressing the bottom area of the screen.

    I have had this phone since the Day 1 launch in the US. Its a very good phone with some difficulties. The phone is difficult to hold in one hand because its so big and you will need a good case if you want to save it from cracks. Trust me, that'll happen. The phone flew for the first few months but trust Samsung's bloatware to weigh things down after 6 months or so. Even with 6 GB ram, the phone shows the occasional stutters now and then. I am surprised. I like to keep my phone streamlined in terms of apps downloaded vs used on a daily basis ratio so I am surprised. I keep telling myself that I wont buy a Samsung but I keep returning to them because of their awesome hardware. The battery is a real letdown though. It usually lasts for half a day before I have to plug it in. I keep my location on so that Google can keep an eerie track on my whereabouts but still this is unacceptable from a phone as powerful as this. They played it safe after the Note 7 fiasco but it really handicapped the phone. I don't use the Pen which comes with the phone anymore.At this point its just a novelty item used to bump up the price of the phone. I had a Note 5 before this and the S Pen was much sturdier before. Lastly, with the way the prices are going sky-high and mid-tier phones becoming so good, its hard to justify the price I paid for this phone. Over a 1000 dollars after taxes.

    Its a decent phone but bit pricey if you are buying at full price. i like the option of having a stylus. It makes lots of tasks very easy. I have unlocked version, i like the freedom of using it overseas during vacation.

    the note 8 does some great stuff over the note 5 and the note 7. Great for anyone really looking to be productive with their device with the pen. I think my favorite feature is if you buy the Samsung DeX, you can get the "full feature" experience of a samsung smartphone. It's a good take on Android with all of its hardware design features compared to the google.

    I have missed my note. So disappointed about the note7 being recalled. But, I now have my favorite phone model ever! The Note8 is amazing. The best news... It hasn't exploded in the month that I have had it!
