    Best Phone Ever Used

    Super fast, super beautiful, revolutionary screen technology. I actually did a speed test with my friends's iPhone 7, and this Note8 clearly beat the iPhone in terms of app opening speed. SPen turns out to be very handy. (even I thought I wouldn't use it that much before I bought the phone)

    When I first bought my Note 4, I told people it was the smartphone I'd been waiting for. The Note 8 brings the power and functionality to another level. This phone has opened up whole new avenues of productivity, information, and entertainment for me.

    The Samsung Note 8 is a great phone. I have had a few of the different models of the note. And I have really enjoyed all of them. This one however has beveled edges and I really dont like that. This is the ONLY reason I am not giving it a 5 star. And yes it is enough for me to drop it one star. If you are thinking about upgrading to the Note 8, I would wait till 9 comes out. Maybe they have gone back to the more flat screen instead of the beveled one.

    At first I was hesitant about making the jump to such a big phone because I do have pretty small hands.....but this thing is awesome and you get used to the size, I'm to the point now that when I use my wifes S8 I can't get over how small it is.

    My wife lost her phone after one year and she wanted the same phone back. This was a great price, especially since it cost a grand at the store and I’m still having to pay for the balance of the lost phone for another year. This phone is awesome.

    I attempted to change to a Note when the 7 came out and we all know how those went over. I was cautious about jumping into the Note 8 and decided to right before the Note 9 came out, I love this phone so much I will not be upgrading to the Note 9 anytime soon

    Went from a 4 to a Note8. Wasn't sure about the larger size, but it took me all of three days to get used to it. Also thought I would have a hard time adjusting to the software; not so. Seems it's actually easier and more intuitive than the 4. Very, very happy with it.

    This phone is amazing you will not regret getting it. And what's even more amazing is that ordering it through Best Buy I received the Phone 9 days before it was supposed to release. Best Buy is the greatest!

    I used to be an iphone 6SE user. for me, this phone turned out to be too bulky. Maybe other people are used to such a large phone. I with they build a similar phone that is smaller in size. This phone seems suitable for a woman's purse but not for a man's pocket. Other than that. I think it has lots of gadgets and nice features.

    Samsung Galaxy Note8 is a great phone. Aps open instantly. Very quick. 4K screen is great for videos and games. Love the light weight compared to my last phone and 4 times more memory. Battery lasts all day for me and charges quickly. Love this phone.

    There was no doubt I would purchase the note 8. I have enjoyed and had the note phones even the note 7 but the note 8 is more than I expected and very satisfied with this unlocked fabulous device! I am glad I didn't have to wait a year, just 9 months.

    Great update from my Note 3. I was waiting on one that wouldn't explode in my pocket. Best phone yet for faithful android users. I've had this phone since its release and have yet to unleash all of its phenomenal power. BUY IT, USE IT, LOVE IT!

    I was worried about the learning curve, getting used to a new device. I’ve never used this brand before. It has been painless and I like a lot of the features not present on my previous smart phone. I’ve grown to appreciate the spen feature also.

    I had the 7. Thankfully the recall went global and Verizon had to accept it back in any condition. A pocket drop shattered it the night before turn in. I went for an unlocked 8 just as 9 was being released. After reading the reviews , the biggest advancement was in the pen. Not worth the extra 100's for me. Like my 8. Big screen. Very satisfied. Will upgrade when there is a significant advancement

    Love this phone. Upgraded to Note8 after Note9 came out because I wanted to be able to avoid Bixby (which is harder to do on Note9). Lots of features and highly reliable.
