This is my second Samsung Galaxy Note. My first was the Note 4. This is much faster and cooler than the 4. Faster charging time too! I especially love this new S-Pen! The new Note 9 has a different color pen than the phone, but this Note 8 pen matches my phone color. And the color choices are better than the Note 4 too! I am glad that Samsung added some better cameras and camera features as well as an updated S-Pen. I have used this phone for about a year and still love it! I bought the carrier unlocked version so I can take it with me no matter what phone company I use. Awesome!

Note series has been successful in the performance. This phone has the largest screen to watch youtube in driving and to easy to read. Very close to perfection! I agree that the price is a little higher than what it has. Phone itself is the best in the market.

I had a Note 3. I got talked into changing to a Samsung S7. I never liked that phone, even though it had a great camera. I am so impressed with the Note 8 and so glad that I went back to the Note.

The phone is super fast, for playing games is fabulous, it wont freeze at all when the game demands high performance. It also helped me out at work. When it came to take notes, I just took out the S pen and start taking notes in the black screen.

I've been waiting for Samsung to step up and I'm quite impressed with the Galaxy note 8. I'm in a very demanding profession and I needed a great phone that goes above expectations.
Go with the unlocked version, no more bloatware!!! Yaaaaayyyy!

The Note 8 is a good phone, however they still have not fixed the setting of the default apps. It still always asks if you want to always use a certain app to open or just once, regardless of how many times you choose always. The charging plugs are different but thankfully they give you an adapter so you can use all your old cords. One thing that's problematic enough for me that I bought a second att locked phone. This unlocked version does not allow Wi-Fi calling. It's ridiculous, I specifically bought unlocked so I would have all the features, but now some are locked away and are carrier specific. Also Bixby is annoying, but now we have Samsung pay and a fingerprint reader which are extremely awesome. If you like your built in stylus, this will be the last one made, so you have no choice to but to buy and covet this wonderful phone. Don't forget the built in heart rate, oxygen rate and stress monitor. Awesome.

I always believe in Samsung smartphones. I always make sure that the Brand overcome to Samsung note 7 battery fails. Thats why Samsung tech got the bestiest earnings in Note 8 sales.

I have owned every Samsung Galaxy Note, and after last year's issues with the Note 7, I figured the Note 8 should be a safe bet to be better and less prone to failures...it isby far the best one to date, and now I have my S-Pen back!

Ever if you have a glimpse of thought I like it. Just go for it guys. I am 100% sure you won't get disappointed, it's 100% worth the price. Just exploring this phone was a real nice experience. Design till performance, everything is so well balanced.
Many complain about Bixby.. but frankly saying, It's so smart than those who write a bad review about it. It automated a lot of stuff for you. And best of all. It's like a game using Bixby. You get XP ;) we gamers love XP..
I really wanted everyone to explore it. It's so good. I wish Google and Samsung work together to get more of this type. That's would be amazing.
Good job Samsung.

This is a great phone if you plan on using all of its features. Has a good camera, nice feel in the hands, and a very nice screen. The only issue I have with it is that it doesn't have a IR sensor. For $1000 I would of liked to have been able to use it for my TV and other electronics like older high end smart phones did.

I have waited for the Note 8, I didn't want to give up my Note 7. The 8 does not disappoint. I love it. My daughter recently just bought herself one as well.
I am still learning all there is to know on its great qualities.

As far as I'm concerned, the Samsung Note series is the best on the market. I'm very loyal to the Note series since my Note 3, then Note 4, then Note 4 Edge and now Note 8. When this phone "dies", I will be purchasing the most recent Note I can afford at that time. They're great phones, but they are outrageously expensive, goodness.
I was able to get this NOTE 8 open-box at a very good deal at the time saving some money.

Got my Unlocked Note 8. Big phone, but does so much for me. I bought my phone and was told I'd get electronic instructions to claim my free gift. Either a Fast wireless charging dock + 128 GB MicroSD card, or the new Gear 360 camera. I registered my product with Samsung within a few days. Never got an email from Best Buy or Samsung about how to claim my offer. Since it's been a few weeks, I went ahead and tried to find some kind of info. I had to call BB support, and was told how to do it...finally! BUT I was too late to register for it by 2 days! They told me they couldn't do anything and to call Samsung. Called Samsung, apparently there's a resubmission deadline, but I can't take advantage of that b/c I never registered during the initial promo period. Bottom line, is that I'm SUPER upset that I am now missing out on an offer that was promised to me, and was told by the Best Buy employee that I would receive all my info via email. Which, I never did, and now I'm SOL. Hoping Best Buy will reach out and make this right.

Normally I wouldn't write reviews, but I felt compelled to write this one. As of this time I pre-ordered and recieved. Was shipped by UPS ground, which was faster then expected. Sadly if you have Sprint don't waste you're time at the moment(9/10/17). I just spent 3 hours on the phone and via online talking with them trying to activate the sim card and through the issues with that. Ultimately it came down to the phone(unlocked version) being not supported on their Network. So as of right now my only options are to hope a new sim card will work maybe work, wait for them to finally add support for the device, or take it back and spend the extra $40+ difference ($30 + taxes) between this unlocked version or the sprint branded one loaded with all the bloatware that should never come preinstalled on a phone. Great phone. But be careful.
