    After reading reviews that the iPhone X was finally catching up to the Galaxy Note8, I decided to make the switch instead of waiting 2 more months for an iPhone. I love my new Galaxy Note8. While there is a learning curve moving from iOS to Android, I love the Galaxy Note8 camera, S pen, and live message!

    This phone is great, I really enjoy the pen. The fact that you can write and send a note is great. I also enjoy "Baxter". He finds this and that, helps look up stuff, I do enjoy that feature.

    Needed to replace my old phone. I have had a Note before and loved it. There are a lot of features on it that I have not had the opportunity to use. I have taken pictures and they are great.

    Bought unlocked and use a prepaid service. Phone works great with service. Fingerprint sensor is my only concern. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't so don't forget you unlock pin.

    Exceptional piece of hardware, paired with a dynamic integration of Android OS and Samsung's Touchwiz. I've owned every Galaxy Note phone, with the exception of the first and fifth iterations. This phone is a technological marvel and is still cheaper than the iPhone X. Featuring 6 GB of ram, there is nothing that I can throw at the phone to slow it down and you can dock it for full screen computing options. Bluetooth controlled gaming cast to my television, Virtual Reality, dual-sim capable or up to 256 gb on-board storage, a WACOM stylus that goes for around $100, and the camera rivals my Nikon D700 DSLR, all in the palm of your hand. As a Note7 owner/user for over a year, Samsung did their 'screw-up' justice with this piece of hardware. I thought the Note7 couldn't be topped, but the Note8 surpasses it in every way. There are folks who don't like the Bixby key, but the key, and Bixby, are really useful once you set them up. You can also disable the key if it bothers you too much. The button and Bixby also pair well with Google's Assistant, picking up slack where Google's Assistant faces limitations. All in all, you get what you pay for and this is a beautiful phone with endless possibilities of uses.

    Galaxy note 8 is like iPhone X; it’s smaller than iPhone 8+ and very nice looking. It’s got a lot of unthinkable features that everyone likes. importantly, the battery last longer.

    I'll be honest, not sure how much effort I'd put into going from the S8+ to the Note 8, but this phone is really amazing. The camera, the screen size and resolution, the S pen...

    I love this device. Had an older Galaxy and it couldn't do much and was very slow. New device was expensive but if it last as long as the old one it will be well worth it.

    I've owned this phone for a year now and couldn't be happier! I bought it to replace a Note 4 that died on me (think it overheated). Fast phone, running latest Android, great camera! Sound is OK, but could be a little louder and richer for my liking. I'm sure there are better out there now with how fast technology is these days, but I would still highly recommend this phone.

    I dont have a product review, but all i can say is the phone is AWESOME. The sales person made this a great buy. It was so busy that day and my husband and I just wanted to get in and out by getting Note 8. We stood at the Samsung station for awhile trying to find someone to help us. But this gentleman came by and ask us what we wanted. We told him we just need the phone. And he went on his way and got it for us. Rung us up and even helped put the protection screen on it. He was supet helpful. I just can't remember his name. Go to Oakdale, MN to get your next best buy purchase.

    Replaced my Note 2 With The Note 8

    I had my Samsung Note 2 for five years and was really happy with it, but it was time to upgrade, I really liked the features that the old phone had, but with the new technology it was time to up date, I really happy with the Note 8, especially with the camera and more storage space, the only thing that I miss is the driving mode feature on the note 2. I have added at hands free car kit to over come this issue. I would also like to thank the folks at the Peachtree City location for all their help.

    I bought this for my boyfriend because he kept complaining that his phone was already too old and having too many problems. He always had an iPhone but he was so impressed by the Note 8 that he switched over the Samsung, he's absolutely obsessed with the phone and the amazing features it has - me being an Apple lover I am extremely impressed by the phone and would definitely consider switching to this phone if I was looking for a new one, just the fact you can connect a USB to it is amazing to me already - especially if you're a college student.

    Samsung has done it again, the Note 8 is a great phone fit easily in the palm of the and despite its large size. Battery life is more than adequate despite it being smaller than the S8+. I found myself using the stylus a bit more than I ever thought I would, and quite frankly I don't think I would ever go back to a phone that didn't have one.
