    I had been wanting this phone since it was announced earlier this year, I am a loyal Samsung note user, and this version has exceeded all my expectations! Sleek design, waterproof, improved camera, and upgradeable memory was what drew me to this phone. It was a bit pricy but well worth it, if your due for an upgrade I highly recommend the Samsung note 8!

    I previously had a Note-4 and was really excited to get and use the Note-8. Note-8 wins hands down on Display, Performance and features. I like the screen size, fats processor, Internal Memory, dual back camera which give extremely good pictures and many other exciting features which makes this phone a must have for all.

    After having purchased the Note 7 last year and going through that mess I settled for an S7 Edge. It was a very good phone - but lacking in features that were on the Note 7. The Note 8 has lived up to and exceed my expectations every way possible. Gorgeous display, incredible camera, 6 GB RAM, S Pen, Iris Scanner and on and on. Got a great deal through AT&T - having DirecTV I was able to buy one and get a second one for my wife for free ! This is the phone you need to get !

    Really like the phone and all the features. I prefer the Microsoft launcher and found SmoothSync for Cloud Calendar app to sync family iCloud calendar to the phone. Only complaint is the dedicated Bixby button. Seems a waste to dedicate a button to Samsung digital assistant. Would be better if it could be reprogrammed to other use.

    Samsung has made up for their mistake with the Note 7. This phone is incredible. It has lots of features and is very easy for my wife to use. I switched my wife from the Apple 6S+ to the Note 8 and she loves all the new things she can do that she couldn't with the Apple. She uses the stylus more than I thought she would, she says it is very convenient.

    I can't believe how powerful this phone is and it'll take me a long time to even find out all it is capable of doing. Runs smoothly, great battery life in spite of all it can do and the hidden stylus pen in the bottom is just awesome. Love the little added touches like being able to hand write my text messages with the stylus and have it transfer it in real time over to text messaging despite how bad my handwriting is(ha ha). The video calling feature is amazing and works flawlessly every time(just NEED the unlimited data plan for it). Having a blast with this phone and I jumped from 4 platforms ago from my previous Samsung so I am just blown away by all this thing can do..

    I upgraded from the Galaxy S8+ to the new Note 8 mainly because I had a free upgrade and because the Note 8 had the dual lens camera, which was on my iPhone 7+. The camera alone was worth the upgrade and I also like the stylus. It's a great phone and totally blows the iPhone out of the water.

    Great all around phone, I almost got an s8 plus but held out for the note 8 And so glad I did. My wife has the s8 plus and while it is great this one is just better! Mostly the camera. It's low light pictures are way better and the s pen is nice to have. Not to mention the extra ram

    Note 8 was worth the wait. Fast, great camera with zoom separating it from the rest. S Pen more functional. Now a must have instead of a nice to have. Best Buy service extraordinary during the Note 7 debacle and setting up this phone for me. Note 8 will not disapoint,

    I've had the Note 2 back then... this was a major upgrade from that lol. I love the clear pictures, BIXBY and the different types of stickers/emojis that came included with the default camera. Easy to use! Team Android all the way baby :)

    The Note Is BACK!

    I've been an android user since the first galaxy debuted. More recently I purchased a GS7 EDGE (att) last June. Totally happy with that model, but missed the features of the note. Last time I had one was in 2015, a note 5 that was stolen, considered note 7 in 2016, but was too slow to pull the trigger when they were pulled due to the battery mishaps. I had not planned on replacing my S7EDGE however, I was "browsing" thought to myself " 38.55 a month for 30 months... yikes, I'm totally content with what I have." I still played with the note 8 when in the store, spoke to a Samsung rep I've known for a couple years (used to work for them myself) and was then made aware - I can get the note 8 now, keep my gs7, get 150$ reward zone certs, and 300$ off the device (note8) making it less than 31$ a monty (only about a $3 difference from my gs7) so I figured okay let's do it, I'll have 45 days to decide to return it. The kicker, I ended up getting a SECOND Note 8 totally free (except monthly device access fee) AND DID NOT NEED TO GET DIRECT TV! I've had it for about 3 or 4 weeks and looking back probably would have kept it had I paid normal price, not received a free 2nd Note8, or rewards! This Note is all that and more the NOTE, a Flagship device should be!

    This phone has a bigger screen which I love because I watch tons of videos on it all day. I actually do use the pen from time to time too and this is the phone to use if like using a stylus to circle things on your photos!

    This is more than just a phone. It has a large enough screen to watch youtube, movies and surf the web without it being to small. I love using the S Pen that it comes with and use it for note taking and drawing on photos.
