As a huge Note Series fan, I have to say I am extremely happy with the Note8. Samsung did an amazing job and I am another happy camper. Upgrading from the Note 5 was a big upgrade and couldn't have come soon enough. Love the Camera, S-Pen and gorgeous screen. Again this is coming from a huge note fan so shelling out $1,000 for me I didn't give it a second thought. For someone who doesn't want to spend that kind of money, the S8 and S8+ will do just as good! The note isn't for everything and now because of the price point. But if you are a Note Fan then I can't say it enough go PICK THIS UP!!!

Had a complete disaster preordering 3 Note 8 phones through Sam's Club as they did not honor their promotions advertised.
Best buy had one in stock and got the other two to me in no time.
I am one of the few that uses the spen daily so had to have a note 8. It's not as jam packed with amazing features as the note 4 seemed to be but the photo and video quality is amazing. I have noticed a few little glitches that appeared on 1 out of 3 phones and only happened 2 times. Still worth every cent.

I upgraded from a Note 4 to a Note 8 and I am very satisfied with Samsung's latest Galaxy Note 8. The Infinity Display is amazing, the S Pen is very functional and the battery life is reasonable.
I am glad I made the investment.

I have had many Samsung phones. This one by far is just simply incredible. I also have an S8 for traveling purposes. I thought the S8 would be tough to beat. The Note 8 is king!! Trust me when i say this.....forget Apple.....there is no better phone out there......even the iphone X can't complete. The phone is a little pricey but it will not disappoint.

This phone is awesome, super fast,super bright display. The camera is really good. Big phone but fits in my medium sized hands perfect. S pen is handy for signing e contracts. Iv heard the battery to die fast but it seems to last me quite a while with heavy usage all day.

I had a Galaxy S5 for many years, but had played with a friend's note 5 many times. I had wanted the note 7, but now I'm glad I held off.
The Note 8 is fast and responsive. The S Pen allows me to sketch and even complete quick mock ups for clients. I am able to sign and edit documents in a breeze. Plus, I love the live message features.

I really like the new Samsung Note 8. I like that from the lock screen you are able to use the pen to write notes to yourself. Makes it easy to jot down some notes without having to unlock, find the program etc. I also like the ability to set whether the phone is locked or unlocked based on location. So I can set the phone to not lock when at home but lock anywhere else. Ability to set multiple locations is also a plus. Overall, being an iPhone user, I find this phone quite nice. I just wish it wasn’t as long because it seems a bit unproportional. But regardless, the ability to customize the phone outweighs the longer length. The display is also beautiful and sharp. I definitely would recommend this phone.

Best phone I've ever owned. Even though I'm a die hard Apple and iPhone guy, this phone is definitely better value and more features. Being a photographer and artist, the camera on this phone and the stylus totally won me over. The pressure sensitivity input of the stylus is amazing for writing and drawing.

I have had two Note series phones, the #2 and #4, sold both and regretted selling both. I am still learning the ropes with my Note 8, love the fit in my hand, ease at using the stylus to take notes, split screen, narrow bezels, great color capture in pictures and I especially love the curved screen; I like to keep my main screen empty so I can enjoy my wallpaper. Being being able to add folders in the side panel as well as the panels available: quick notes, calendar and calculator, have all been a great reminder of why I prefer this model so much over the others I have used between the Note 2 and Note 4. I have a good deal more to learn about features on this model, but so far so good, and no regrets on my purchase!!.

This is The Best phone in the market right now. Absolutely loving every aspect of it. Dont be disheartened by the fact that it has a 3300 mAH battery. It is well tuned enough to last for a day with average use. I'd recommend a case or a skin just so to avoid the smudges at the back of the phone since it is made of glass.
The AKG tuned headphones are another gem of an accessory. They really saved me the trouble of looking a decent one in the market. Thirdly, I am spellbound with the camera. Images are crisp, clear and sharp. The OS is super awesome and the software features in the phone know no boundaries. Its been just 2 days since I've had the unlocked model and its just not enough. This is a product well worth it. Buy it without any secomd thoughts. Worth every penny.

This phone has met my expectations. I was worried about battery life owing to a bigger screen and smaller battery. But it really holds the charge well. Phone runs with no lag, has a great display and a really good camera - low light pictures are really great. Plus I hook this up to dex and do quite some of my office work at home.
Overall quite satisfied.

I would highly recommend this phone for anyone looking for a durable phone that will last a while. Battery is amazing and can easily last the whole day of use. The photos are beautiful ( don't let the 12 mp camera fool you). Only issue is the placement of the fingerprint. Still overall, I would give 5 stars.

I honestly do not regret getting this phone. The large display makes it easy to see and the stylus makes it convienent to take down a quick note or just doddle. Camera is supper clear and detailed. The only thing I've ran into was the video rendering was off but the guys at geeksquad were able to fix it.

The Note 8 is by far the best phone currently on the market. It's beautiful screen, amazing build quality and the use of the SPen make it better than anything out there, including the iPhone X. This unlocked version is even better because it lacks carrier bloatware allowing you to download the carrier apps you want. The Deep Sea Blue edition is simply beautiful and stands out from everything else out there.

I am a huge Samsung fan. I had the Note 7 for the short time it was available and it was great. I loved it, but I like the Note 8 better. It seems faster and the camera is beautiful. The loss of the home button took some time to get used to though.

I bought the Note 8 as an upgrade to my Note 4, so it was quite a leap. My Note 4 was still going strong, so my only reason for upgrading was wanting the newer technology (the latest toy...). I've had it for about a month now and this phone is everything I expected and more. I won't go into all of the details because there are already tons of articles that describe every aspect of it in great detail. This phone may not be worth the money to the average user, but for someone who considers themselves a power user it is worth every penny. Most people would be satisfied with the S8+, but I use my stylus every day, along with most of the other advanced features of the phone. I have been a devoted Samsung user for quite some time, and the Note 8 only increases my loyalty to the brand. If you're a nerd, GET ONE!!

I have had iPhone since 3. I'm not a super Apple fan. I don't get a new one every year or anything. But the interface does what I need it to do. I was however getting really tired of the data storage issues, battery life, and the camera not being as great as I think it should be in this age. So I made the switch for my upcoming trip to Europe where my phone will be my camera and I don't want to miss a minute at the Arch D' Triumph. And this phone is...well ok...it is a phone. It does some cool things but it just is not as intuitive as an iPhone. I'm missing calls because this phone doesn't make it easy to answer them. I don't know what the is up with Bixby...she is useless so far. But my pictures are awesome and I put a 256gb card in it so that is what I said I was after.
