    One of the things I like best about this new phone is the health tracking feature which keeps track of how many steps I walk and how many minutes I'm active, as well as a heart rate and oxygen sensor. The phone is fast and easy to carry, the screen is big, high resolution and very bright. The camera has 2 lens on the back, the 2nd one is for zoom ins, so that it's doesn't get so pixelated I would highly recommend this phone!!

    Absolutely love my note 8. Love the fact that they UPDATED the pen feature a and changed it so that it is not possible to put the pen in backwards and NOT ABLE TO REMOVE IT like the note 5

    Still learning the functions of this phone, but my first impressions are complicated and overpriced. And Bixby opening whenever I pick up the phone and touch that side button is a real pain. Maybe that button can be programmed to open something more useful to the owner. I wouldn't mind it opening to voice commands since I'm driving a lot. I'll keep playing with this and trying out more features. Maybe the phone will grow on me. Everyone makes a big deal about the camera and yeah it takes good pictures. But they all take good pictures now. Right now I'm thinking I should have waited for the S9 to be released.

    Camera is exceptional. It is fast and responsive. Beautiful display although I don't have a screen protector because of challenges with them either reducing sensitivity (glass) or not fitting well (plastic)

    So far I really like this device. The improved S pen is just a plus to the overall features of the phone. The only concern I have is Bixby.. which sux.. Google voice works so much better. I'm not sure why the change but I absolutely hate Bixby voice command. It doesn't understand anything I say. Google on the other hand understands everything I say.

    phone is pretty great although not as wide as I thought it would actually be. I previously had an iPhone 6+ and its definitely narrower. Pretty sleek though and great features. Quick response on the display.
