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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
