Samsung Galaxy Note 8 - A True User Review

[@moizzkhan8546]

Can't believe, me an Apple fanboy is gonna buy this over the iPhone X. Sorry Apple, but you're just not in the game anymore. EDIT: I got a Note 8, Thanks for the likes

[@couldntchooseausername9360]

MrMoizz I feel you. I was supposed to get the X, but I was like fuck it. Note 8 is life

[@acornystudios]

+couldnt choose a username me too. I buying a Note 8 this Wednesday. I waited so long for the new iPhone and it was just... meh.

[@TMcCoy93]

Same

[@timo4206]

Same Here

[@moizzkhan8546]

Ok guys 3 weeks Later I changed my mind. I am gonna buy the iPhone X

[@keithleung9197]

I upgraded from the Note 4 to the Note 8 and I have to say, it was worth it. I'm a student and the S Pen comes in super handy when the prof just spits out due dates and assignments, etc. Super handy for students

[@jackskellington9570]

Keith Leung I miss the old designs though add removable back and ir blaster though. Yes i know. The new SoC is far superior and the camera and stuff. And the new glass designs are elegant and all.

[@keithleung9197]

Jack Skellington I would say the only downside to a unibody design is the ability to just pop out the battery for a new one when it dies...but you're kinda forced to go with unibody designs cuz they don't make removable backs anymore

[@johannahmorales1883]

Hi what can you say about the battery life? The video mentioned that it may cause inconvenience for heavy phone users.

[@jackskellington9570]

Keith Leung I know. It won't have anything soon. You expect down the road. But not already

[@keithleung9197]

Johannah Morales I would say the battery life is decent. I'm a mid to heavy user but the battery life just doesn't live up to the hype that the note series used to have

[@1.0xY.m0r0n]

I have the note 8 and I have to say I LOVE IT! I upgraded from the s7 edge and was surprised at how much of an improvement it was! The s pen is great and I never thought I'd use it but I find myself constantly pulling it out, the magnify feature definitely comes in handy. Also the camera's are AMAZING! It truly is an epic phone!

[@claydog6422]

Alex The Average soon as the X comes out no one will care about Samsung phones

[@maggi98mw]

ClayDog sadly, that thing is overpriced af

[@1.0xY.m0r0n]

Everyone's got there own opinion I had the iPhone 4, 4S, and the 5 and they just got old for me and I needed a change up. Also I refuse to support a company that sells overpriced and inferior computers and markets them as the best...

[@kingedward8556]

Alex The Average I'm waiting for the s9+! Waiting to see what's that's about!

[@ZK-APA]

ClayDog different target customers. If someone buys a note phone for productivity, it’s unlikely they will be interested in an iPhone.

[@rcole134]

Having owned a few (from the s4 onwards)over the years I can say with certainty that I haven't suffered from slowdown since the s6.

[@dog8438]

Captain_ Cole I've never had slow down with Android. I've had iOS twice and had slow down both times

[@greenespirit4973]

Captain_ Cole my s7 edge definitely slowed down

[@francoorozco3662]

Captain_ Cole my 6s came out the same year as the S6 and have noticed it’s slowed down ever since (was one on the first people to have a 6s) :/// wish I got the S6 edge +

[@ying20000818]

My Z3C has slowed down considerably over the 2 years of updates it got (suspect it's also due to the apps becoming more bloated as well) whereas with the two iPhones I had before (5 and 3GS), apart from how it felt a little slower due to more animation, overall it felt more or less the same. Personal experience differs so...yeah?

[@tahsinalam8256]

I have the J7 prime. It doesn't slowdown either.

[@Luigiz28]

I've owned the S2, S4, Note 5, and now the Note 8. The 8 is by far the best Samsung phone I've ever had. Fantastic.

[@Pottersonsor]

Luigiz28 you miss the S3... I truly believe it was THE PHONE. Currently I have the S7 edge, and waiting for my Note 8 to arrive!!

[@Luigiz28]

José Gutiérrez I did! I ungrade my phone every two years or so. You're going to love the Note8. I've had it for almost a month and it's so good

[@mogroot5790]

Luigiz28 Did you try Note 7?

[@Luigiz28]

No I did not.

[@kencolle1]

Luigiz28 how does the n8 compare to the n5? I have the n5 but considering the n8.

[@vernonleewarren280]

If Samsung had put the fingerprint scanner in the proper place, gave us front firing stereo speakers, a IR blaster, a bigger battery, a wide angle lens on the camera and a Quad Dac they would have made the perfect smartphone

[@yann9378]

Vernon Warren they fixed the fingerprint scanner on the s9 and the s9+

[@vernonleewarren280]

Yann Gorski that's good to know

[@adon2701]

Yann Gorski I would like to see what galaxy note 9 will bring to the table. Will it have bigger battery!?.. Also what is worth money, galaxy S9+ or note 9 that are the real question.

[@Fan-lm9zt]

Vernon Warren we'll also be getting Stereo Speakers now! We're close on Samsung jumping on Quad DAC but I think they want to wait for 2019 flagships for that.

[@jesusangeles152]

Note 9 is the perfect smartphone now then? Haha

[@JarrodsTech]

Thanks mate, been waiting to see this one!

The perfect travelling setup for an Entrepreneur:- 1) Note 8 2) Microsoft Surface Book 2 3) A Backpack (I Leave it to you guys, comment what u like to use) 4) A battery pack ( Again I leave it to u guys, reply) 5) Earphones/Headphones (Left to u guys, reply)

[@avex1x]

A Hardworking Guy I'd rather get: 1) iPhone X 2) iPad Pro 10.5 + Pencil 3) Surface Book 2 (I agree its awesome) 4) Backpack 5) AirPods

[@gavincrowley562]

VΞΝΘΜTM Ipad pro cant do anything surface can't besides the $100 pencil, and I dont see the appeal in the iphone x.

[@avex1x]

Gavin Crowley It can. iPad is made to run iPhone Apps, and its perfect for games, social nerworks and looks stunning while doing that because of the 120 Hz Screen. You have to see it in person, and after using it you won't be able to look at the Surfaces screen because compared to the iPad it looks so laggy. Also iPad is perfect for drawing, much better than a surface. I'd take the iPhone X because it's better than the Note 8. Sure it's more expensive,here in Germany it costs 1150€ compared to 880€ in the US. I'd not buy it in person, but it would be my dream phone. Screen looks better, is better, Performance and Power is much better, camera is better, better battery, MUCH better OS, I hate Samsungs Experience UI (my S7 Edge lagged horribly after 2 months, my at that time 2 year old iPhone didn't lag at all, with 3GB Ram less and 2cores instead of 8) So yeah I'd take Apple.

[@sonnywolf383]

I prefer Note 8, Tab Pro S and condoms.

[@LeonCamero]

To answer your question about the s8. No, I have not yet experience any lag.

[@TADP0LE9806]

Leon Camero The bloatware will weigh it down eventually 👀

[@shiwil92]

Tristan Zipp not my S5, after 3 years😍😝

[@manishlall]

S8 is my first Samsung device after S2 and have been pleasantly surprised so far. Though I did go extra mile and disabled most of bloatware.

[@LeonCamero]

Tristan Zipp I don't have those.

[@LeonCamero]

Manish Lall Same here. Plus I changed my system's performance and animation for apps. Works flawlessly.

[@jiarongw3489]

Had my note 5 for 2years+ no lags at all

[@emijimenez7729]

Kasugano Sora we all know that's bs, even the S8 has a few slow downs every once in a while

[@jiarongw3489]

Not sure about the others but I can tell that my phone did not slow down. Only the battery is draining very fast and couldn't last for a day.

[@drsnowmon]

+Emiliano Jimenez If you're a tech noob, any phone will slow down for you. Although *every* phone will have a hiccup here and there. My iPhone is starting to do that nowadays

[@jiarongw3489]

True, my mum's iPhone 6 is very laggy, it takes few seconds to open camera. My iPad air 1st gen is still very fast tho, so I don't know anymore.

[@drsnowmon]

+Kasugano Sora You can't deny that Apple makes the best tablets among all brands when it comes to fluidity of the OS, but popularity of tablet kind of died when Samsung started the phablet trend IMO

[@pmhwong]

You're one of the reviewers who is ignorant of the fact that Bixby is more for instructional tasks, whereas Google Assistant is for general queries. E.g. ask Google Assistant to open Play Store and install an app, and it doesn't do it. In short, stop thinking "Bixby vs Google Assistant", and instead think "Bixby & Google Assistant". When you come to peace with this, you'll feel more powerful.

[@AnonymousMachine]

Philip Wong trying too hard to feeling good about purchasing a Samsung device? You are in denial, Samsung doesn't even encourage to use both, what makes you belive you are even close to right about using both?

[@learntocode9206]

David Escalante You don't know what each is capable of, do you? (That's a rhetorical question)

[@learntocode9206]

Sakitech has some awesome tutorials for the clueless. Bixby is excellent at what it does. It's not there compared with Assistant when querying out of context (yet), but then Assistant has no clue about how to interact with your device like Bixby does. That's why they complement each other right now. I've actually replaced Assistant with Bixby, but as one of the top 2500 users in the world, I know how to put it into context for just about everything. Nothing like using Bixby to fully control and use Google apps. 😁

[@conraddevera]

Philip Wong I’m actually surprised by the bixby, i thought it was another useless gimmick. But it actually pretty good

[@fatalradius]

Philip Wong Bixby sucks.

[@stevec1160]

Every time I hear "put on a skin", automatically expect a dbrand promotion. Thank god not this time, they've dominated KZbin tech channels.

[@n0ldgr769]

You guys could make a video about paint drying and would still watch for the smexy broll seriously love the cinamatography you guys create

[@exisskrk]

Every reviewer keeps complaining about the fingerprint sensor next to the camera. Because of that I was very sceptical about it and thought I would not use it, however, I literally got the phone yesterday and I'm already used to it. It's really not that difficult to reach and once you get a hang of it, it becomes very easy and natural. Oh and by the way, fingerprint sensor is much better than the one on Google Pixel. And a lot faster too.

[@leexgx]

It should be under the camera

[@emijimenez7729]

Well for most people it's a bad place making more convenient to just set up a password

[@leexgx]

Due to banks having there say I can't use finger print scanner to unlock phone as it brakes Android pay after 5 uses (forces backup code password to reset the 5 tokens )

[@exisskrk]

lee x use Samsung pay then

[@leexgx]

exisskrk does that work on none samsung phones

[@briang9816]

As a college student the S pen has made taking notes very easy especially if I can't have my laptop out.

I've been using Samsung Galaxy Note 8 since January 2018, and I really love it. I think I won't upgrade until Samsung Galaxy Note 15 lol 😂

[@mova_2020]

Surprisingly I always get close to 7 hours of screen time on! And it has been very consistent. Brightness is usually between 50%-75% and I very heavily use my Note 8. Game, browse, KZbin, heavy messaging and social media.

[@saqifrahman5324]

But this youtuber is saying he's getting 3 hours to 3.5 hours from the Galaxy Note 8 😓

[@thalamelvin]

Exynoss variant is power efficient bro

[@greedsloth1516]

meh not that efficient on exynos my previous 7 plus still doing better under same usage little disappointed

[@Dan12gt]

Saqif Rahman Same here 6.7 hrs last night and 2 days of use easily. These battery life's reported by reviewer I can them BS not true at all!!

[@jackskellington9570]

David Stone You're one of only two people I've heard claim this. It must be a different usage pattern or just something with your devices

[@pacificnic2120]

That music during the photo slides was a real throwback. The HWC nostalgia is real rn

[@planetroni]

What’s the damn fixation with “Samsung phones slow down over time” thing? I used S2, S4 and S6 each for 2 years and a NOT single one slowed down! Granted I maintain my phones and do not keep tons of trash apps downloaded. I have on my phone what I need and have never faced any slowdowns.

[@shiwil92]

Abhirup Majumdar same!!!! S5 user here😊

[@jyotharsingh371]

S6 edge user, yeah I stopped using Nova Launcher, disabled and uninstalled a bunch of apps that I didn't need and it still runs great after 2 years and will probably still run great for another 2 (depends if the s9 or note 9 are worth upgrading to) although I still haven't finished tweaking my phone, that's the thing I love about android is the immense customisation that you can continue to make your phone new and refreshing or optimise it to it's full potential

[@shiwil92]

Jyothar Singh thank you!!!😂

[@planetroni]

Jyothar Singh exactly my thoughts. It gets on my nerves when people randomly keep saying Samsung phones slow down. All phones slow down over time, its a depreciating asset. Jeez 🙄

[@drsnowmon]

"Samsung phones are known to slow down" I also disagree with this nonsense In fact, *Every* phone slows down later down the road if you fill up more than 30% of your internal memory, even iPhone and Stock Android.... I've used Nexus phones and I'm still using iPhone so I know they lag for fact. That is mainly the reason why iPhone and Pixel will not allow 3rd party memory like MicroSD slots. Is this guy really a tech reviewer?

[@DEVAXTATOR-1]

finally a honest review of the note 8 and good job stumbled on your channel subbed and for now wainting for the price to drop to 800 euros then i will put my grubby hands on that sweet note 8 POWA

[@queenbeeaimie]

This phone is A BEAST. I can't get it off my hands since i bought it... this is the phone that has made me addicted to it. Is super speedy voice assistants work super smooth and s pen makes it more incredible as this phone is a king of multitasking.

[@ceva321]

i absolutely love the Note 8, i use the spen everyday , every hour, a must for me. battery life is ok i guess

[@PrabeerKG]

What's the launcher setup and icon pack used ?

It is nice to see that someone does phone reviews properly, not just reading specs! Keep the good work!

[@Fiwek23452]

I had a s6 edge+ for 2 years and it never slowed down.. i got the note8 now. I wish samsung made the note8 in titanium silver. Cuz i loved that color from my s6 edge+. I also get 13 hours of heavy usage with my note8

[@Bbyc104]

40Tman same

[@Bbyc104]

With battery life

[@tstan6883]

I agree I get good battery life with my note 8

[@drunken-haze6396]

40Tman do you think it's worth it? I'm using a s6 edge+ and not sure if upgrading to n8 is worth it. I can also just wait n see what the s9 offers

[@Fiwek23452]

manish rajani ofcourse its worth it... it has a spen and 6gb ram and upgraded SoC and it has a SD card slot and its water resistant. you can swim with it and shower and it has iris scanner and bigger screen and battery and best camera of the phone ever made and believe me you dont want a S series if you have ever had a note before or s6 edge+... edge+ is a note but without the sPen.. I wanted to buy Note5 but they didnt sell it in the EU

[@The-Tech-Gent]

What wallpaper and icon pack is that?

[@alfviktor.101]

Damn how the quality holds the entire video!

[@siddharthk.sekher1960]

Where has this channel been my whole life!!! 😍😍 Awesome clean video dude

[@DS-ue6hg]

Went from my note 5 to the note 8. Got the note 5 used for $230. Ended up preordering the note 8, so I got the following. $150 off from best buy and $480 note 5 trade-in, and a new gear 360 free. In the end I'm only paying $310 for a brand new note 8. I love the phone. Yes it has some small issues, but nothing that's a deal breaker in any way. Love the battery life and the overall performance of the phone.

[@catllionare]

Dan S what issues?

[@vethir]

mm boi what issues 👌 i don't want to pay $1k to find out

[@sagarnanda7672]

You guys wanna hear a joke IPhone x

[@TADP0LE9806]

Sagar Nanda it's a hell of a lot faster than this phone... Camera is probably better too, and better audio 👀

[@ShallowDepression]

no

[@dog8438]

Tristan Zipp doesn't the x have the same A11 chip as the 8? The Note 8 is faster than the 8 on real world use somehow

[@DigitalAshTCG]

Lol

[@taibanasir]

A very unbiased and genuine review! Really appreciate it !

[@ArianMozafari]

I LOVE my Note 8! Everything is done perfectly on this device, battery life is satisfying for me as well. Thanks for this great video! Keep it up!!

[@lugg5519]

What a review!💯

[@Ghazzoul]

Calling for an IPS is just pushing it man, criticism is good but keep it real. Love your videos btw

[@jackskellington9570]

Ahmed Ghazoul Seriously. He did mention afterwards about the color settings. But only after he implied it is not accurate. And then inaccurately implied color accuracy is a matter of technology rather than calibration on any display. And implied that not only are ips displays the only way to be accurate but that most of them are. When most have saturated colours and high white points. And where is lacking contrast, and showing grey in place of black while showing a 7k or higher white and delta of 4-10 accurate?

[@nobodee1]

I have seen many a cell phone review channels, some so irritating they are almost unbearable to get thru. I was so impressed by your natural self I thought I was chillin with some tech heads, smoothly spoken, all bases covered, questions I needed answered and some I had not even thought of. Liked your approach so much I subscribed to more of your videos, I only have maybe 7 I subscribe to so that speaks volumes. I have two sons who love their phones, computers and x boxes, play stations and anything tech. I got the Galaxy S8+ my son waited till about 10 days ago to get that Note 8, I love the Notes having owned the Note 2, my friend took that loves it still, go figure, Note 4, nephew just took that, lol. Then I got the S7 edge late cause of the battery issue with the Note 7, thus my other friend took the S7 Edge, leaving me with this S8 +, which has not one issue other than it is smarter than its owner. Wished I had waited till the Note * only cause yes I do love the pen. Not sure if I will even upgrade to the S9. I am turning 60 this November turkey day and I can tell you how lucky young people are today to have these very powerful tools, & techno gadgets . Be Good

[@syedfaraz2987]

[@inevitableAnpu]

This was an excellent video! I've been looking for this type of product review for a long time, and now all of a sudden you guys upload it. A long video going in depth about the product and how it is to actually use it. It was paced really well, shot really well, the music was on point and it was narrated really well. I'm blown away guys. The phone looks great, the camera especially. However the battery life is not acceptable at all for me. This phone is already large, but add to that a battery bank a and a phone case and suddenly my pocket space isn't what it used to be.

[@dorcasonibode]

I stumbled on your video while searching for this phone review.. I was thrilled watching u.. The sound was so good,i stayed till the end. I plan to start KZbin channel someday but the cost of getting good camera and making videos with good sounds keeps me stuck to where I am. What do you advice? Plssss..

[@majortheprotagonist5561]

I've had the Note 8 for close to 2 months and love it so far. I get a full day of moderately heavy usage on 1 battery charge. Haven't really used Bixby much yet. I really like the fingerprint access and camera. Now my laptop, tablet and phone can all be synced for my real estate business.

[@VikasPoonia]

What about the fingerprint sensor placement? Is it bothering you? I am thinking of buying it. It is going to be my first flagship phone. :)

[@Fan-lm9zt]

Vikas Poonia you can buy the Note 8 or wait for the S9/S9+ that will be out in a month. The presentation will be this month on February 25th. Might as well wait till the S9/S9+ comes out so you see what it can offer.

[@Fan-lm9zt]

Vikas Poonia oh the fingerprint will be lower on the new S9 models.

[@VoodooMadMike41]

Nice review! I find the speaker blocking a nice feature actually when you have an unwanted notification or call xD Battery wise, I personally get about 5-7 SOT with a whole day of medium to heavy use. Battery is very solid. Performance is great as well and those cameras * . *

[@trojen2429]

Sarah Lovell im in love with YOU 😂

[@littlebennie3196]

Not sure why you wanted to interview and review the Note 8 since you don't seem to like it. I love the note series and think N 8 is fantastic, much better than the S7 Edge that I traded in. Stock Google is boring to me, but in fact Google has added so many features it looks more like Samsung all the time. Same thing for iOS. It has copied Google and Samsung so much it looks like an Android phone now. But if you don't use the S Pen and don't like those features, you should not buy it the Note 8. And I agree with some of the other remarks I have seen here. I've never had the slow down and lags that all you people are talking about. I've had all the note phones since the Note 2 to 4, and everything worked just fine.

[@ceva321]

exactly Bria, some people just look for things to downplay the Note8

[@jackskellington9570]

Seriously. Hell my only issue I would have if i still used a note2 would be missing my newer camera tech. The note 2 has only recently been getting outpaced by phones you can buy at store. And still has better headphone audio than any snapdragon device. Even the s7 and I'm assuming s8 and note 8.

[@danielphilips5321]

You are totally right. Google and Apple have all been playing catch up to Samsung. most innovations has been made by Samsung. Split Screen has been in samsung since the note 2. You see old features of samsung making its way to Iphone and google. it's so funny when these tech reviewers say they prefer stock android to Samsungs' skin. I always laugh when i hear that. There is no User Experience that is as good as touchwiz right now. They all wait for Samsung to realease their phones first so they can copy and play catchup.

[@jackskellington9570]

Nipun Sharma the thing is all phones lagged some. Especially years ago. Just everyone wants to deny it And talk shit. IPhones sure as hell had a fair share of lag even despite all the denial. Its a part of reality

[@DemocraticLies]

Yeah and Motorola was a big fail I should have saved my money the z2 force was same price at the time

[@charliejunius1971]

well..i got note 8 just recently and got so so screen of time which is 5 hours something then i read a lot forum about note 8 battery life then i realize the biggest culprit about battery is no other than google itself after turn off find my device and google activity apps got consistent 7 hours screen on time now thks to forum xda..

[@jessicac6835]

charlie junius how do you turn this off

[@panickyk2300]

You go to location settings or you just search to the overall settings in your note 8 and then select it and then disable it

[@Esco4Lifeee]

Excellent reviewer

[@RannMayL]

Upgraded from an S7 edge; thought I wouldn't be as impressed, but I am. I LOVE my Note 8! The S pen is surprisingly something I reach for.

[@FirdausAzhar87]

still love my note 4

[@Bayonet1809]

If only there were new phones with removable batteries I would have upgraded from mine. But alas.

[@brotha1984]

Firdaus Azhar is still have my note4 also but I had to get that note8 no regrets go cop you one man tightest phone out this

[@FirdausAzhar87]

well in my country the price is 5k plus, with the average salary around 900/month that phone is out of option for average people here, so note 4 is the best for me, note 5 dont even have sd card,

[@Zoub.badulla]

I have had the s8 plus for over 6 months now and I love it! Everything functions properly. Haven't had any major issues. The camera is amazing and the software works smoothly.

Have the Note 8 and love it. I haven't experienced any slow downs. Never experienced any slow downs or lags with any Samsung phones I've had in the past and ive owned the S2, Note 3 (had it for 4 years), S7 edge (twice), Note 7 (twice) and the S8. I had the LG V10 which went out on me and never came back on. That was a great phone.

[@frostyfox1495]

Wallpaper and icon pack please 😜

Prathamesh Yedre simpaz icon pack Nova launcher Zooper widget pro Wallpaper idk

[@chadrendon4515]

What theme is he using?

[@cebukitty]

Love the note 8. Bixby tho is buggy and slow compared to google assistant. Waiting for samsung to roll out an update to make that bixby button mapable to some other app

[@kanishcktewatia597]

not gonna happen. they put the button there to force u into using bixby instead of google assistant. they will instead roll out an update to block the app to remap it.

[@zenderzagato8174]

Kanishck Tewatia the presence in no way impedes your ability to press and hold your home button.

[@michaellim4165]

OsHi Bixby 2.0 coming next week Oct 18th.

[@zckom]

I use Bixby on a daily basis for different purpose. It is way too slow but it does things that google assistant don't. So, basically I rely on both of them daily. Google assistant is mainly for my home automation.

[@jasminedagg6130]

They have an option to turn it off if you don't want to use Bixby. Button goes nowhere but they're not forcing you to use it if you accidentally press the button when it's off.

[@mephistofelies]

Great review, good perspective !! Finally putting my note 3 to bed, shes been a SOLID performer over the past several years, looking forward to playing with the note 8 in a few days.

[@ScarGunner98]

I got the note 8 about a month ago and so far I love it. I was worried about the fingerprint scanner but all it takes is a slight variance in how you grab the phone and it's lightning quick and can be unlocked from the always on display.

[@go1485]

I feel Samsung has solved the slowdown problem since Android 5.1.1 or 6.0.1. I am using a J5 2015 and have almost no issues with the interface slowing down...it only shows very slight delay when I switch between a lot of apps(even when i have chrome open with 84 tabs it still handles fairly well)

[@m199213]

GaOn I have never used android for a while now. what make android slow down is visiting porn sites and other movie sites. If you are doing this and your device is still working then you have a point

[@jackskellington9570]

William Chalmi That doesn't slow down your phone. That whole I visited porn and got a virus thing is propaganda

[@mevensc21]

Same here with a j5 2015 and lag is rare Is not fast but it dont lag Good phone for its price

[@lenfordmorris1407]

LOL here in Canada I paid close to $1700 for mine, but that includeds the insurance on it for $170. This shit better last me a strong and 3 years

[@trojen2429]

Lenford Morris Well its been 1 year so far, hows it been so far??

Is it still going strong?

The cut paste feature with the spen is always welcome

Some of the best pictures I've ever drawn were on the note 3. Been using a budget stylo 3 plus for the past year, just ordered a note 8, upgrade is going to feel huge.

This is al really great video! You have a pleasant voice to listen to and you explain the phone in great detail. You even show us audio samples and pictures taken by the phone! My Compliments!!

[@DigitalAshTCG]

I love that you can swipe down on the fingerprint sensor to bring down your menu. And swipe up to bring up Samsung pay. It makes paying with your phone sooo fast

[@Skott62]

Thinking of upgrading my existing Note 3 to the Note 8 but the price has me gagging. I'd have to get two (wife) and that's $2k just for phones. Crazy prices there just for phones.

[@yann9378]

Skott62 u can find them at 700 to 800 dollars on Amazon

[@Skott62]

Thanks. I'm still not happy how the prices keep going up on these smart phones. Last time I paid $620 for a Note 3. I'm just not feeling the extra costs are worth the newer features. Price vs value just seems not to be there. Just my own opinion of course.

[@yann9378]

Skott62 you are right well just wait until next year the price will dip

[@jmac2050]

My Note 3 is still going strong and i like the removable battery, Note 8 is not a game changer

[@cristinepille7965]

i'm using note 5 and haven't slow down a bit for 2 years of using it..

[@drunken-haze6396]

Cristine Pille don't install too many apps and delete the ones you rarely use, your phone won't lag at all. Works for me :)

[@fightnight14]

You might have got used to the lag 🤣

[@johnydonev5336]

Why are you hating?

[@zaineridling]

Bought my S8+ last April and haven't seen any slowing down of apps or the OS. I will be buying the Note 9!

cracked open a rockstar so i guess that counts. when i see a longer (17 min) video from you guys, i know it's actually that much content so good job

[@murtaxarzv1646]

Thing is NOTE 8 IS THE MOST COMPLETE PHONE IN WORLD...

[@TsunaXZ]

@@trojen2429 Well lets say Note 8 is 8.5/10 and Note 9 is 9.5/10

[@mrbdamasceno]

I'm still pretty happy with my "regular" S8, but I might get the Note9 whenever it comes out.

[@G0ddammitB0bBy69]

Bruno Damasceno I have the iPhone 6 Plus, and I’m also waiting for the note 9 next year.

[@skadooshster]

I've got the note 8 from the pixel XL and it's literally a dream to use everything from the S pen to the beautiful screen and the quality of the two cameras onboard... The 6gb ram really does give it that boot of speed. Video quality at 4k is pretty good. Infact my KZbin videos are all filmed with my note 8. Feel free to check them out!

[@notkreator]

OMG! It was an almost-18 minutes video but felt like 5 minutes to me !

[@christopherfortineux6937]

I have the s8+ I haven't noticed any slow downs or apps crashing. Honestly, this is the first Samsung I actually have been impressed with.

[@Black0wt20]

My battery life has varied too honestly but I have so many chargers laying about at work and home that it doesn't bother me. As for paying for the phone, I traded my Note 5 and knocked $480 off the price tag of the Note 8 with Verizon. That's a deal anyone would be silly to pass on. All in all, it's been an amazing time with my Note 8.

thank you for your information.............

[@acevehe]

Great video. I appreciate the honest and layman commentary. I am getting one of these next week from work. Had the option of an S8+, iPhone 7, or Note 8. This video made my choice. Thanks!

[@yeonsharien]

I always inspecting every youtubers wallpapers on Note 8, it seem yours is catchin my eyes a little bit. That's what I like.

[@diogo6497]

Alright, it does look great and it packs quite possibly the best hardware combination of all smartphones available, but its ginormous pricetag for the 64GB variant and the exemption of most colours and storage capacities around the world makes this a really difficult smartphone to recommend to anyone (i absolutely love the S-Pen, i had a Note 4 and i know what it feels like, but that phone was so unreliable and faulty to me - long story, but i had to switch twice and eventually had to give up on aquiring any Note 4 as a replacement - and i really do miss them). If you really want a Note device, go for it but software is where the game is focused now and nothing will ever beat the Pixel 2/Pixel 2 XL :( and i really want one now... Gah, if Samsung made unlocked models without restrictions and clean software, i would instantly buy one.

[@zenderzagato8174]

Diogo there are unlocked Note8s.

[@diogo6497]

Yes but i meant without bloatware as duplicated applications and with a software update cycle (including security patches) as concurrently as Google does with the Pixel lineup; but i know that is an impossible dream -.-

[@zenderzagato8174]

Diogo well I happen to actually like Samsung's local aproach to software and they don't force it on you as much these days. Ex: music application is an optional download. Any who cool.

[@jackskellington9570]

Diogo Sorry for your issues with the note 4 but that was not mine and others. And yes it's costly. But so is almost every other flagship out there later. The difference is that while Samsung costs more the s8 and note 8 are the only ones actually giving the tech and software worthy of costing more. Their devices require more time and money into both hardware and software. Especially considering they build a lot of the hardware. Not to mention the sales and freebies they had going with it. And every unit comes with a free $100 set of esrbuds that destroys those crap Bluetooth ones crapple and Google are trying to force one you. Everything else is just cutting corners and charging more. The v30 was announced at a $200 cheaper price... though by time it was actually available was more like $150... And it's still more over priced for the corners they cut and what is offered in comparison. And the pixel????? Almost the same price with single cam. One that is a shrunken sensor, less quality display and ram, same storage and no expandability, no headset jack, no wireless charging, weaker protection, etc etc. And in software Samsung is ahead. They by far have the most advanced ui. And yes there is bloat which sucks. But their are unlocked versions. And many people actually prefer their apps to the stock ones. Their music and internet ones and such. And with the Note8 the speed is neck and neck with the most stock and basic of software's like one plus and pixel. Sometimes a bit faster. And that's with all their extra features, functionality, and usability. And Google only now made the promise to update for three years. Hasn't done it before nor has it been done yet. And like most others the Samsung phone technically already has most of the features and then some. So yes goggle gets faster more direct updates. But Samsung already us ahead in ui of others while you wait. So it's a give and take. And their devices take more time and money to update and they have more devices. People need to consider the whole picture. Though yes.. they could definitely work on that. So yeah. The note 8 is expensive. But it's the only thing more justified of the higher price compared to others. The pixel is simply unreasonably priced. Obviously not as bad as crapple. But still up there. The only way to fairly claim this is to comparing to mid range and mid cost flagships. Other wise Samsung is on another level.

[@danielphilips5321]

@Jack Skellington you are totally right. When you buy the note8 you are buying a phone that is worth it. Google just plays catch up with samsung. Some features you see in googles updated OS has been in samsung for years. Samsung Note 8 is the best phone of the year and by a distance. It is a full package. It is like buying a Mercedes S63 AMG. you get IP68 water and dust resistance, wireless charging, latest bluetooth, headphones worth $100, Samsung security, dropbox, expandable storage. Google took out the headphone jack just so they could sell their useless wireless earbuds.

[@hanyoukimura]

The glass back complaint is silly, because who in the right mind wouldn't immdiately put on a skin or case to protect their very expensive investment, for any smartphone really. I've had a case and screen protector on my Moto X Pure since day one. I've had the phone for 2 years now. I've dropped it a few times and gone through 5 screen protectors, but remove them and the case and the phone looks like it was just unboxed. Speaking of Motorola, they've gone from one of the best with updates to one of the worst. The MXP is STILL running Android 6.0 and the update 7.0 (not 7.1.1) that supposedly went live at the end of September has yet to reach my phone. Meanwhile, the gf's Nexus 5x is already running Oreo. My next phone will be a Pixel.

[@jackskellington9570]

hanyoukimura Just because you're going to use a case doesn't mean we all have to be happy with glass. Or that it won't still crack for sure anyway. And all the hindering and expense glass backs bring. Plus for them both being nearly the same price I 99% guarantee the note 8 is way more with your time and money. As it offers far more and is superior in almost every way.

[@hanyoukimura]

Jack Skellington Unless the best software experience, fast updates, project Fi, the best camera on the market and a mostly metal back are important to you. ;)

[@drunken-haze6396]

hanyoukimura haha. I've never used a case or screen protector on any of my phone's n they're all scratch free :)

[@hanyoukimura]

I've dropped mine a couple times and was glad to have a case protecting it. I've also gone through several screen protectors. I use it a lot for taking reference photos when working in cars, so is bound to get dinged and dirty... the stuff protecting it that is. Underneath the phone still looks new. Some people can manage to not protect the phone and keep it undamaged and bully for them, I'd rather protect my investment from both the environment and my own slip ups. But hey, finally running Android Nougat :)

[@Aicut01]

But glass back gives a premium feeling
