The Note is to Samsung what the V Series is to LG: A centralized device for a specialized setting. Businesses mainly. The Galaxy S is the consumer device. For recreational use. If you see yourself needing a notebook you get a note instead. If you need a smartphone you get the S8.
I LOVE phones that actually take work seriously. Like, these expensive gadgets can also be for grown ups too! WHO KNEW?!?!
I personally disagree. The V30 is comparable to the S8+ where as G6 is comparable to the S8.
Jaylen Thrash You're right, I use the Note, I'm a design engineer. These reviewers, as I said above have not even a basic understanding of customer requirements, they can't get their heads around the fact that there are people who will only use Note phones, like engineers, architects, graphics designers, artwork designers, business professionals etc. But most of them aren't too bright and unfortunately the ability to talk doesn't make them more intelligent. Just look at the average politician.
Acosmys Not at all.
JuanBagnell Oh wow! Never even got a notification Juan replied to me! Thanks, TH-cam. -_-
But yes, I love work horse devices. To me there's two schools of thought for smartphones: Software Warriors, ala the iPhones, the Pixels, and the Windows Mobile phones. And then there's the hardware Pros with accessories, ala the Note 8, the Blackberry KEYone, and the V Series with their camera/video phones. Anything in between that, doesn't truly appeal to me.
Yeah right like I'm gonna just put a dbrand skin on my $930 phone and hope for the best
It’s more of a style thing. I have a DBrand on my Moto
I really wish everyone would stop riding them, especially as protection. their skins are terrible. sure they stick well and fit good but theyre cheap. they're just for looks imo
I honestly would if folks in these comments wouldn't constantly get their undies in galactic twists over using a phone with a skin. I REALLY miss the days of companies experimenting with different materials for flagship phones. I hate glass. I HATE GLASS. Give me Nokia's high quality poly carb, or Moto's blue leather, or kevlar, or carbon fiber or ANYTHING ELSE BUT A SLIPPERY SURFACE...
JuanBagnell nowadays it's all about the looks. And I think glass will always look the best until you start actually using it....
Tony Montoya That's because they ARE for looks, but also help with grip and a degree of scratch protection.
But if you trust a piece of 3M vinyl to save your phone from drops......
Note 8 keeps 29 apps in memory, the S8+ keeps 7 = big difference. the extra 2gb memory in the Note 8 goes a long way
Lion Flex I think that's more to do with software. 7 apps is too little for 4GB
Saw that video too. Kudos!
This is so true. I got the s8 plus & only 7 apps would remain in the ram. I'm a heavy multitasker & my s8 would slow down a lot when opening multiple apps
D13H4RD2L1V3 my LG V10 would keep 15 apps in the ram. Same 4gb
Pablo Kho Samsung has shit tam management
Really happy with my S8+ especially since it was only $500 at best buy.
That's a GOOD deal on that phone. Well shopped.
Im getting mine tomorrow, bought for 300
I paid less than 500 for my note 8. Love my Note 8
PLANESWALKER83 that's a come up for real.
CheeksDaFreak 305 yeah at full price I know I wasn't going to pay for that lol. But the trade in and my discount helped out a lot. I loved my note 5 but I love this note 8 more. Looks like you got a good deal as well.
I don't understand the hate on the fingerprint sensor placement. I have an s8 + and i love the location. With a phone so big it's easier for me to reach the back with my index finger than to move my thumb to a sensor on the front.
Jackson Russell what about those spoilt teenagers they can’t reach the fingerprint sensor
Jackson Russell i think sammy could have made the fps a bit better ,
Even in the sub optimal position the sensor could have been a tad bigger and recessed further to give a bit more feel .
As it is , if you are a person with large hands and fingers , it is a very small target that does take far more feeling around than it should .
Its not a huge deal , but if you use your phone a lot ...... say 50+ times per day, it does spoil the user experience somewhat .
And while the eye scanner works fine , it's much nicer to pull the device out of your pocket with the finger print sensor having it unlocked before you even get it near your face.
And for $$$$ your paying for the device it should be close to perfect , but with dodgy fps clearly it is not.
I have no issues with the fingerprint sensor as well. I have small hands that are like a girl's hand and I can reach the sensor on day 1 without even thinking or searching for it. It's very accurate and fast. one light touch and it unlock. Very cool. Best thing is you don't need to on your phone to use fingerprint sensor to unlock phone. One touch when screen off and you will get to the home screen immediately. Awesome!
So sick of these "WISH" ads.
I pre-ordered my Note 8 and got a $150 discount. I wouldn't have paid full price.
NERP! Get a deal like that, a trade in, or wait for a BOGO. :-)
I got 2 S8+s for the price of 1, plus I got 2 fast wireless charging and a 100 dollar gift card to Best Buy. I'm really happy with my phone, but the Note 8 looks awesome 😁
Kevin Hinojoza wtf
GLAD I GOT THE NOTE 8 ++PHONE OF THE YEAR
The finger print scanner placement honestly is not that bad!

Am I one of the few who doesn’t really have much issue with the finger scanner?
It’s in one of the least ideal locations for all hand sizes, but my giant hands seemingly has no issue with it.
Baconsushilover I tried a case for the Note8 before I’m getting mine. I can actually reach it quite easily due to my monster hands.
D13H4RD2L1V3 same here
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
The tech reviewers show it as a big problem to make us buy a dbrand skin... They say with that skin we can identify the fingerprint scanner easily. marketing
D13H4RD2L1V3 I find it annoying without a case. With a case tho it's fine by me. It helps guide the finger that way for me.
I have one question.
Does the note 8 still crop out youtube videos??
Just got my Note 8!!! Loving it so far. Gotta love that S-Pen 😎 . Great video guys
Im early, I need a joke...
Apple
Wanna hear a joke?
Women's Right's
Bwahahahaha 😂😂😂
Iphone 6s-ss
Just got my Note 8 today! 😍😍
Congrats on the new phone!
I have the note 8 I think Samsung should have had to the s8 with a 5.2inch screen a s8 plus with a 5.8 and the note the way it is.
Wit da fingerprint reader u will simply get use to. I hate da weak speaker but luv da design + display!
I really have nothing to say because of these phones crazy similar every way except the dual camera and S-Pen set up on the Note 8.
Shellyman Vol.2 you forgot the fact that the note has 6 gigs of RAM, and the note has a much brighter display especially noticeable when you're Outdoors, and the note has a later version of Android, and the note has a less pronounced curvature to the glass.
Y’all get triggered on his opinion 😂😂😂😂 that’s show how hypocritical you guys are
D Harris they’re Samsung sheep, they get annoying
Fredy Ramirez Jr. they are whining kids
johnmade69 ok tryna start something
price, finger print scanner, similarity to S 8+. 😭 i still want a Note8
mazdem me too
How much does the Samsung galaxy s8 cost at best buy? 🇷🇰🇷📱📱🇰🇷
Ameri Pat well sometimes google isnt right 😕
Search it
$499.99
Actually I went to best buy today and I found out that the Samsung Galaxy s8 cost $724 and that just crushed my hopes in getting one...
+Samurai_Hiroshi Nightmare get a job broke boi
note 8 is Where its at cant wait for mine to come. the reason why the note 8 is better is because of the s pen l use it for texting and All sorts
I’ve been told that the Note 8’s screen is slightly wider than the S8+..
However watching these videos on TH-cam between the two phones,there is no mention of this.I haven’t seen these phones in person so that’s why I’m asking if it’s true or not.
Bro awesome as all ways! But what's the song in the background?
The note 8 is winning . Best dual camera in the business , only the v30 comes close
Ayodamola Ajala yup
Ayodamola Ajala while I agree with your statement, some would say the V30 is just as good.
True my respects to LG tho
I disagree as I prefer the wide angle. Once you use that wide angle, you wonder why every phone doesn't have it.
Real DNA I know the the note 8s wide angle lens s not really a wide angle lens but it does a decent job. The v30 has a better wide angle but Samsung has the best low light shots with vibrant colors . They are really close but the v30 front camera is note good .
I'd rather have the note 8 but I already rushed out to get an S8+ back in the spring and being a note fan I'll wait til the price comes down. Got my S8 plus and to me they are more the same than they are different minus the pen and I know the ram difference goes a long way(30 apps for note 8) sadly 7 on the S series
Just get the s8 plus 6gb ram version and its pretty much the same as the note par the telephoto lens and s pen.
mrjak900 And the brighter screen.
You forgot to mention there's a headphone jack 🎧 👀
I have both and the Note8 spends more time in my hands.
Reviewers still don't understand the Note customer is not an S customer and vice versa. smh. The phones are very different. If your screen is a bit reddish, mine isn't, you can adjust the colour balance.
What was that on your head and what for was it?
Note 8 is the best phone I have ever had I been always a note user and I'll be a note user forever
Totally great review. I agree with your conclusion. I plan on replacing my Note 4 but am disappointed that Samsung only has 64 GB memory. I find that sd cards just aren't as good as built in memory.
How did he screen record like that ??
S8+ ..128 GB N 6GB RAM Rocks!
lets buy note 8 when the price drop 😂
I have a 6s plus now and eligible for an upgrade in November. I am wondering if I should get a note 8. I would be interested to here other people's opinion. I had a Samsung Galaxy 4 and before my 2 years was up, I couldn't place any phone calls or receive any. Is the quality better or was mine just a fluke?
I just got my 8S note, wow can't believe it. the graphics, this is great Well the graphics is beautiful the sound quality stereo is great ..so happy 😊👍
note 8 tho🔥
Least it has a finger print!
Have you noticed any micro scratches on the bottom of the back glass?
There are tons of microscratches all over my S.
I've had the Note 8 three days and I have tiny scratches on the back plate, I think there is some kind of defect with the glass.
Same here on my S8+. Very annoying and I'm not sure I've had that happen to me before. I'll probably throw a cheap back skin from dbrand or slick wraps just to keep it from taking on more scratches
What same? Note is clearly better with s pen and 6 gb ram. Wtf is same? Note 8 is perfect worth the money phone.
So the s8 would be better if Samsung actually updated their current phone line. Meanwhile 3 year old iPhones all have the same software ffs
Is the Note 8’s main camera the same sensor size as the one on the S8? Or is sensor size compromised by the secondary zoom camera? That’s what I’d like to know.
Really happy with my S8+ especially since it was only $500 at best buy.
Find the wrong spelling Juan Juan Juan Juan Juan Juan Juan Juan Juan Juan Juan Juan Juan Juan Juan Jaun Juan Juan Juan Juan Juan Juan Juan Juan Juan Juan Juan Juan Juan Juan Juan Juan Juan Jaun Juan Juan Juan Juan Juan Juan Juan Juan Juan Juan Juan Juan Juan Juan Juan
Got my note 8 on a bogo and I'm extremely happy with it, it was almost worth everything I went through last year with the note 7
No one is best no one of whis is even good, bout have 18:9 or 18,5:9 and bout have edge screen, so bout are crap
it isn't a good location for a fingerprint, but better having than not.
Just upgraded to the note 8 trying to decide this or my 7 plus hmmmmm means changing watches as well
Lol
What's the video editing software at 4:41?
Powerdirector. I've used it to produce videos on this channel.
was the write on the calendar feature removed on the note 8????? I miss that feature :(
Why would anyone show off a phone? I can understand showing off a Lamborghini or a private jet. I can even understant showing off those ridiculous 24 carat gold phones. But ffs who shows off a phone that ANYONE can buy with a contract of like 40 dollars
Honestly, I have the Note 8 and fingerprint scanner planner placement is just fine. I have no problem reaching it and not smudging the fingerprint scanner.
Bob Ijaz same and facial recognition is actually pretty good
Who else gets sad when it's not Jaime's voice you hear at beginning.
Don’t buy Note 8. Wait for Galaxy S9+ with SD 845 coming in February 2018 for $100 cheaper.
Peizxcv No.
Note = S8 Plus2 #simple
Supporting Samsung note for more than the amount you have been paid for
Why every phone rewiewer have broken hands. I can ferfectly reach the fingerprint sensor and I have never touched the camera lens.
*wow* *wow* *wow* pixel love *llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll*
It's actually really sad for Android that a phone with 4gb memory can only keep open like 7 apps, while an iphone with 2gb memory can do this with 15+ apps. Google should really do something with this shit.
Though Samsung makes awesome phone...the software updates are not upto the mark. Once a new top of line device launches they forget the previous ones even in the same gen. Eg: Even unlocked S8 haven't received any update to UX or option to disable Bixby.
brown bobby Yes don't own S8,many of friends do and I am talking about features updates like UI improvements. They like to keep it to current premium device.
Which part of the UX are you hoping will be improved that will not be?
I feel like the only person on the planet using my phone 90% of the time for audio. The audio capability among smartphones is very important to me and definately warrants mention i reckon!. I know samsung audio is lackluster at best, but is still a big part of any phone.
It's gotten a lot better on the Qualcomm powered Galaxies, but still wont beat an Axon or a V10/20/30...
JuanBagnell cheers juan, so the s8+ and note sound the same then im guessing. I hope samsung consider some nicer audio in their next phones! I love everything about my s7 but the sound is pretty sad :P
Honest question. Should I get the note 8 or the oneplus 5? The specs seem very similar If not leaning towards oneplus and I'm worried about the battery life on the note 8. Which should I get?
If you want better display, and camera, get the Note8. If you would be fine with okay display and camera, get the OnePlus 5.
DILLIGAF0828 obviously if you're on a limited budget, you should go with the OnePlus. However if you can afford it, your $900 get you a whole lot of benefits including a much brighter display, in fact the brightest available that makes it very easy to see the phone outside, and the S Pen, a better camera solution, and the killer battery combination of wireless charging and fast charging and even fast wireless charging.
I got to use this smartphone for 2 hours and as much as i loved it $929 is a lot of prime real estate for any phone
S8+ have red tint issue on this video
Omg that intro😂 and 5th
Nice video and awesome voice you have. You can be an excellent radio DJ with that voice.
I have always wanted a note! I just got the note 8 a few days ago first note ever had. I have no idea how to use it yet!?
Hi i have confusing with iPhone 8 plus and Samsung galaxy s8 plus,Wich is best and what is you recommend for me
manikandan chef depends if your an apple are samsung person s8 and s8 plus are badically same thing but one has bigger display ssme with iphone 8 and 8 plus
Not a great place to ask, 99% of people here have a bias against Apple. All I can say is that if you’re not a power user who needs to customize things exactly to your liking, the smooth performance and great battery optimization and five years of software support will do you better. Think about what you do on your day to day use of your current phone, and think: do you just consume media, use social media, and other more normal uses? The iPhone’s simplicity will do you better. The s8 is better in other ways though too, but either way, you can’t go wrong with either.
2:27 oh my god, those borders are equal.
Ocdgasm intensifies
S8 plus good enough
Mr Smith my note8 says otherwise!
Banglaz Bless good for you if you want to pay more for a pen a screen just a hair bigger then the s8 plus and 2 more gigs of ram which will only make about a tenth of a second difference. I've been a note user since the note 2 and believe me the xtra money is not worth it.
Mr Smith worth it for me and plenty of others. Love my note8.
The Note 8 would be so dope if there was a decent video editor on the device.
DARK CITY!!!!!!!!! one of my fav movies of all time! along with Event Horizon which was released around the same time.
was that the one where some dudes mind control the whole city?
Have had zero issues with the fp location. Never smeared the camera ever
What the hell is all this dbrand bullshit???
I really enjoy your videos
Yes that launch price - Another top review dude..
D brand everywhere
Can't wait to upgrade from my s7 edge to s9+
1. 0:00 - 0:05 is actually correct in my opinion. I am unlock my phone so many times every single day and besides that I am using the fingerprint sensor much more to login on websites etc. and with this complete useless position, I can't do this anymore and it restricts my day to day usage.
2. The S8 feature nearly the identical hardware. Just the RAM is different. So where the hell is Android 7.1.1 and Experience UI 8.5 on the S8? This is one point I really hate about Samsung. I think the S8 will never get the Update for 7.1.1 + UI 8.5. An only 5 months old, $800 flagship.
S8 will get Oreo next.
Yeah I'm guessing the S8 will leap frog 7.1.
and this is so dumb.
Samsung just has to disable the S Pen functionality and the live focus and it's done... they does not have to do more...
lol Nice "drop test" at the end of the video.
So lucky I was over grass... I really wish folks in these comments wouldn't constantly get their undies in twists over using skins on phones...
I like Galaxy not 8
Lol that ending haha.. Hilarious. Nice touch. 😃😂
SERIOUSLY THOUGH.
DBrand FTW..
Bagnell great review as always
Glad you enjoyed :-)
Imforative video, thank you!
don't get dbrand.
I'd rather buy the normal s8
My fave Sammy of the year is the Active. A normal sized NOT CURVED screen with a 4000mAh battery. That shit is baller.
JuanBagnell absolutely agree. I'm just waiting a couple month for the price to drop and get one for myself
Noice McNoiceFace your face looks like you just came all over the note 8 "Unbelievable "
O Lara T-Mobile has a buy one get one deal now until black friday for any Samsung, LG, or IPhone 8
Maris M thanks for the info. But I'm not on T-Mobile anymore since like a year ago. their signal was really bad
3:24 glitch much
s8+ is better
Like Leica 😊
Wow ! U got me in the beggining😂
Good vid Juan.
fck dbrand!
2nd comment
Bixby and finger sensor suck...
I keep accidentally pressing that dang Bixby button...
JuanBagnell disable it
you can disable the bixby button with the latest update. the finger placement is great, I really like it there, but the sensor is wonky for me because of have sweaty hands from the hot weather
*Dbrand*
Why we don't call . Galaxy S8 Plus Pro? (Note 8)
Both are too tall! Plus I tried my friend's S8 & didn't feel snappy. So now I am focusing on Pixel 2XL. My Nexus 6 still feels snappy so don't want to go to Samsung.
Really anxious to see what Google delivers. Hoping it will feel more like a consumer flagship and less like a Nexus with too much lipstick.
Same insides... But the note 8 performs 100x better
