Otherwise, the Note 8’s fit and finish are exactly the same as the S8, with glass panels that elegantly curve into a metal frame. That doesn’t sound like much, but it’s evident, especially when the phone is already this large. The Note 8 also tips the scales at 195g, about 22g more than the S8 Plus. The Note’s 6.3-inch screen is only scantly larger than the S8 Plus’ 6.2-inch panel, but it has a more rectangular shape and the sides aren’t curved as aggressively, which makes it noticeably less comfortable to handle. What’s most interesting is how much bigger the Note 8 feels compared to the almost-as-large Galaxy S8 Plus. The iris scanner is quick and as secure as fingerprint methods, but it still requires holding the phone up awkwardly close to my face and dramatically opening my eyes for it to work. The face unlock feature is still not as secure as other means, but Samsung has improved it since the S8’s launch, so it works faster and more reliably now. Samsung offers both iris-scanning and face-scanning unlock systems on the Note 8, so you don’t necessarily have to rely on the fingerprint scanner as much. That could happen with the Note 8 as well, but it’d have been easier for everyone if Samsung just put the scanner below the camera like every other phone maker does.
NOTE 8 AKG EARBUDS WHICH IS RIGHT AND LEFT PLUS
I’ve been using an S8 Plus for months and I’ve become somewhat accustomed to the annoying fingerprint scanner placement. And like the S8, it takes some dedicated finger gymnastics to reach it. Like the S8, the scanner is on the back of the phone, to the right of the camera module. In addition, the Note 8’s larger size make its fingerprint scanner even more frustrating to use than it is on the S8. In fact, in all of the important areas, the Note 8 is a better device than even the Note 7 was.īig phone with typical big phone problems The new Note is much like its predecessor in that it’s an exceptional large-screened device with few obvious faults. That’s good, because now we have the Galaxy Note 8 and Samsung wants it to permanently put the Note 7 fiasco in the rearview mirror. The upshot of all of this is Samsung was also forced to reevaluate how it designed and manufactured phone batteries, and it now uses different processes and chemistries that produce more durable batteries that also degrade less over time. In the most embarrassing episode of modern tech history, Samsung was forced to recall the phone, not once, but twice, and pull it from the market. But that glory was short-lived: as everyone knows, the Note 7 had a defective internal battery design that caused it to randomly catch fire. It had excellent performance, a great camera, and a refined design that was surprisingly manageable for a device with a large screen. A year ago, I wrote that the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 was the best big phone ever made.
