review: samsung galaxy note 8 - samsung

After the explosion of the Galaxy Note 7 disaster, Samsung has a considerable amount of compensation to its loyal Note followers and investors.
It takes time to investigate and reflect, redesign notes and improve battery technology.
The result is a technology Tour-the Galaxy Note 8 is a large smartphone that money can buy for many reasons, from its design, its screen to its performance and S-Pen.
The first thing you notice when you open the box for Note 8 is that it looks really great.
Curved edge near the baffle
Free display, very comfortable to keep despite heavy.
It is covered with Corning Gorilla Glass and it is easy to collect blurry finger marks.
But even so, its design is striking. catching.
At the top of the front, above the display, the camera and iris scanner on the front, and the LED-
Lights and headphones.
There is no physical button at the bottom-it is integrated into the screen.
Dual camera modules and flash lights are on the back, along with fingerprint sensors.
I don't like the rear fingerprint sensors because they cause the camera lens to get dirty.
But as the physical home buttons become past and make way for larger monitors, they are becoming a necessary evil.
On the left is the dedicated Bixby smart assistant button and volume switch, and on the right is the power button.
There is a 3 on the lower side.

Samsung is the leader in smartphone monitors and has been continuously raising standards for every new premium model in recent years.
Note 8 is no exception to trends. The 6.
The 3 inch Quad HD Super AMOLED screen has an unlimited display edge of the current trademark, close to the border-less design.
It also has an unusual 18.
5: 9 aspect ratio, which makes the screen look and feel long and extends
Hand operation is tricky for anyone with small mits.
However, the effect is amazing, especially when you upgrade the screen resolution from the default HD to quad HD and get into high performance mode --
Although this will affect your battery life.
Bright colors, vibrant and strong, bright black and white.
All of this makes the viewing experience great.
Of course, much depends on the quality of the content you are looking.
In fact, unless you are a screen connoisseur, it is unlikely that you will really notice the difference between the standard setting and the highest setting.

This is also convenient on the display, although it also affects battery life.
Note 8 is one of the most powerful smartphones.
It has either Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 or Exynos Octa-
Core processor and 6 gb RAM, push it forward when it breaksneck speed.
This is mainly a business device.
Those who use it for work will find it easy to work with the most demanding applications and many more
Task Assignment and use of S-Pen.
It has 64 gb of storage built in
This is rather mean in this era.
But it can further expand 256 GB through the microSD slot.
After a problem with the Note 7, Samsung has been cautious about the battery of the Note 8, which is not surprising.
The result is a 3300 battery which is enough to get you through the day as long as you don't work hard.
But anything that is out of the normal range of use, you may have to touch the charger.
Fast charging (
Wireless is also supported)
You can also use the battery optimization function to solve this problem further.
However, this is a fatal weakness of the device, and it may tarnish the original excellent specifications in a timely manner.
The latest addition to the Note 8 camera is the second lens on the main or rear facing unit.
This allows the phone to produce a clever focus transfer effect on a portrait photo known as bokeh, after which the background can be thrown in and out of focus.
This feature Samsung calls Live Focus requires the theme to be within 1.
2 metres to work.
But set it up correctly and it's a pleasure.
The main camera offers 2x optical zoom, similar to the latest iPhone model, and with optical image stabilization you can zoom in without worrying that the final image will be blurry.
The two cameras also feature high dynamic range, Pro mode and many other convenient features and effects such as virtual shooting and motion photos.
In terms of video, Note 8 can record 4 k at 30 frames per second, from which 9MP still photos can be extracted, which is very convenient.
You can also capture super
Slow motion 720 p video at 240 frames per second.
All in all, the camera set up on the Note 8 is the best in class, whether you are trying to take a selfie or capture a more thoughtful composition by adjusting the settings yourself.
Note 8 runs on Android 7. 1. 1.
Samsung's own experience interface is placed on top of nougat.
Happily, you can customize some of the bloat software apps you want to install on set
This means you don't have to fill your phone with software that you won't use.
The Note 8 is also equipped with Bixby, a Samsung newish smart assistant.
It is still in its infancy and far from perfection.
But this is definitely a step. up from the S-

Up to 30 minutes in 5 metres.
As you would expect, it also supports Samsung payments.
The shortcomings of Note 8 are few.
Battery life can be a problem for some, the fingerprint sensor at the back is a bit annoying, it can do this with more built-in devices
It is very expensive in storage and IT.
But the display on its highest setting is first class, its interface is smooth and intuitive, and the camera is the best. The S-
If the pen is something you tend to use, it will also add value.
With the arrival of the iPhone 8 Plus and the iPhone X, the Note 8 will soon get the funds to run.
Other options include Samsung's own Galaxy S8 Plus and Sony Xperia Tibet, all of which have their own unique features.
But if the money is not the target then it is unlikely that the Note 8 will let you down.
