- Last year’s Galaxy Note 7 was perhaps the most famous Samsung smartphone in history … for all the wrong reasons. The company kicked off its recovery with the excellent Galaxy S8 earlier this year … and now it hopes to complete the comeback with the world’s biggest do-over. I’m MrMobile, and I spent an afternoon with the new Galaxy Note 8. This is a first look, brought to you by dbrand.

[ABOUT THE GALAXY NOTE 8 HANDS-ON]
MrMobile's Galaxy Note 8 Hands-On was produced following two hours with Galaxy Note 8 review devices on loan from Samsung at a press event in San Francisco, California. The devices were running pre-production software.

Told you guys I'd update with pricing, but it's a complicated story. USA pricing for *preorders* ranges from $786 - $929 but it all depends on where you get it. For the full deets, Android Central is keeping this story updated: www.androidcentral.com/where-buy-galaxy-note-8
Does anyone know how long PREORDERS last, I couldn't find the info. Is it right up until it ships on 9/15 or sooner, anyone have the date? Thanks.
I love the samsung bundles with preorders. Preorders are probably the best time to buy a flagship samsung phone because of how many extra goodies you get which essentially "lower" the cost.
Yes I agree, but can u answer my question, what date are the preorders over?

MrMobile [Michael Fisher] Lucky americans without the taxes
I'm tired of the toxic Samsung and Apple fanboys fighting in the comments...
This x1000
Will Wunsche its Samsung, Apple and LG now
Will Wunsche In future only ..........
....
.
.mobile which uses STOCK ANDROID
Will Wunsche I would say it's OK, but since I'm usually a leftie, I'll most likely block one camera.
Will Wunsche both are so good!
I wish Samsung implemented a wide-angle secondary camera. Much more useful.
TechLineHD pretty sure they did. Check out the commercial and other reviews
Hasan Al-habbobi Nope. It's a telephoto lens
Swae Lee they said in the presentation that there is a wide angle camera and a telephoto. Wide angle being the 1.7 aperture and the telephoto being the 2.6 aperture.
TechLineHD
They did... -_- did you even watch the event?
Hasan Al-habbobi if you listened to Michael, it's not the "wide angle" lens that you can see on LG phones today.
So they kept the fingerprint scanner in the same spot that's horrible
ATW Tech - Alpha R2 You should learn how to appreciate something
ATW Tech - Alpha R2 they're tryin to be unique in some shitty way 😂
Frizz Appreciate what? Nothing to appreciate.
ATW Tech - Alpha R2 Appreciate the fact that there is a fingerprint scanner you uncultured *swine*
Frizz every phone has a finger print scanner these days so dunno what kind of appreciation your talking bout
I watch a lot of tech reviewers, but you and your channel stand out from the crowd. While a lot of reviewers put on a "cool" or "chill" persona, yours seems more genuine and "warm" for lack of a better word. You just seem more approachable and honest in your reviews. Keep up the great work man!
I appreciate it; thanks!
Always love the graphics used in your videos. They stand out in my subscription feed very easily.
I'm so happy that the note 8 got released!
Now I will be able to afford the s8+
I can't wait for the note 9 to release so the s9 Will go on sale meaning I can afford the note 8 and have the s8 in my price range so I can finally buy the s7.
SuperSafTv,Recombu and many other uploaded the video exactly right now but I chose to watch yours. There's always a class in your videos.
The best fucking place for a finger print scanner on a TV sized phone
The video I always wait for.. Thanks a lot sir!!!
Love your videos, dude! You cheer me up with them! KEEP UP WITH THE GOOD WORK!
Michael, you asked for questions/concerns to examine in your long-term review. My top-of-mind concerns: 1) compare/contrast the value of proprietary software vs delayed updates. 2) is it bloatware or great features -- discuss! 3) total cost of ownership of this vs other Androids and iPhones (not just purchase price, but resale value, and depreciation for those who change phones every 1-3 years. 4) and in general, I question why spend more on a phone than on a laptop? Thanks for all you do.
Thanks for the questions!
Lee Busch the
Love your videos man. I don't understand why someone like you is soo underrated i mean you should be right up there with big tech youtubers..
Thanks! Feel free to share. :)
MrMobile [Michael Fisher] already did ;)
It's a shame that this TH-cam Channel doesn't have a few millions subscribers!!!! The quality and the creativity of all videos ia AWESOME
Awesome now I can't wait for v30 and mate10
Got the s8 plus now ill wait for the S9 maybe we can get fingerprint sensor on front on glass.and hoping for a stereo speaker that would be a perfect phone for me.
I read your title on feed.
Hands on the Big D-
O over.
Bahahaaaa - nice.
I just love the way you speak, attention to detail, on point English , delivery also... On point. Keep it up.
You make better videos here than at pocketnow
Wow, 5,500 views in the first 6 mins. Awesome work, Michael!
Is there front camera OIS?
Doesn't look like it has stereo speakers, so is the mono any good?
Can you change the screen's resolution?
If it'll actually cost 1000$, is there something to justify the price?
Pepe every phone has that & it's software will probably start lagging like after 5 months just like my frnds note 5 which he hates so much :( & all the blaming is on me coz I asked him to buy it for a really nice $256 price new
Pepe
Maybe
Probably not
Yes
No
Maybe, but I have my doubts
Probably as good as every other Samsung mono, so it's alright but nothing great
99% yes, since S8 has it too
Unless you're really after the S-pen, most likely not.
Real questions I'm sure he'd have answered if he was allowed to. Don't think he's even allowed to say he's not. I've always been frustrated how speakers are often not seen as a main feature but ndas go through the trouble of specifically stating they shouldn't be mentioned because they know it's important but have convinced people it's not something to think about. People won't go up in arms about what they don't know. Telling people it's mono when they didn't even ask may suddenly make them realize they actually care about stereo, but if you don't mention it, then it's not something of a focus. They're doing this with the headphone jacks on a lot of phones. Hiding side and bottom top profiles to the last minute, etc.
It's a form of mind control technique, putting a market into a trance by having you focus on something while thinking of something else so you aren't in control of your own thought. Look here, think there, no no, back here now. There you go. Etc.
When will Samsung learn that that is not how to include a fingerprint sensor
Nathan Dem How about you just appreciate that there is a fingerprint scanner will ya?
Frizz no
John Doe exactly! And of you let companies get away this this bullshit, they going to give you more bullshit
I own s8 and after using it for a while I actually prefer its more than center back of the phone.
@Kong Choksap how in the world can it be better to be off center? Sounds like fanboy talk to me.
Been waiting for mr mobile to upload, and he just uploaded new video with my dream phone this year. Liking this video
I've been sitting on an upgrade for 4 months now finally the note 8 has arrived 😀😀😀
Am scared of buying notes because when the pen gets missing ,I will be fucked
They aren't cheap to replace.
CD27 😂😂
*_Basically they are selling s8+ with dual cameras & S-Pen_*
Where is Note squad😂😂😂
hello blind person so stylus + better screen + 6 ram + forcetouch + improved software + dual camera and improved place for fingerprint sensor far from camera isnt better? and also the difference between note versions and s never was so big s9 will be more differnet than s8 than iphone 7 to iphone 8 thats for sure
Slender Man same processor, and s8 plus looks better than this, also anyone who's willing to pay over a thousand dollars for this over an s8 or s8 plus must be either retarded or very rich
Slender Man just wait and watch billion years gonna end in September 😂
agree, boring phone
RICKY SEKHON Blown Up
you're the first guy who really did hands on video of the Note8...in my notification list😀😀😀
wow waiting for your full review ^^ , I am so damn excited about how samsung performs while using dual camera!
Wow u are fast asf
$1270 for a phone is insanely expensive. I honestly don't see how any phone can justify such a high price tag.
UK prices have to legally include VAT. Those conversions are never correct.
dude. doesn't matter VAT or not. GST in Singapore means the fcking note 8 will cost a whooping SGD$1800? That's too much for a fucking phone. It's as expensive as 2 LG G6s and that's ridiculous
OLBastholm its not an iphone lol it costs 950$
Dan Cook It's the Danish price, but it's probably not much cheaper in the UK. And of course VAT is included, as you can't get the phone without paying it...
Michael Avaliani It does in Denmark. Pre-order started today at what equals to $1270. By far the most expensive starting price for a phone I've ever seen.
Great vid tks , lol do miss you on pocket :) x
You too sir, have helped me feel really, really good about this preorder! Thanks for the well done vid mang.
Looks like I'll be buying the LG v30 this year.
Bixby for f*** sake just put an IR 10 times more valuable.
thanks 4a side-by-side comparison, with the 8+ excellent preface 2a full review indeed
I like that there's a wide angle and telephoto lens instead of one or the other
I'm still waiting for the removable batteries to be brought back. Every note phone I ever owned I had to switch the batteries at least once per day, sometimes twice a day. It's at the point that phones with built in batteries are useless to me anymore.
And why the hell aren't consumers complaining about removable batteries so much anymore. You people give up so easily.
Looks like a touch screen remote control :'D
You sir, are The man! Awesome video!
Was waiting for your review!!
Got 4-5 notifications for the note 8. But you know whose review I'm watching right now!😎😎
#NotificationSquad
Watching a note 8 video on my note 4. I love my note 4 kinda hard to sell me on the note 8 maybe in a few years I'll grab a note 8 when my note 4 hit it's limits
RuinedBlackCat the note 4 was the best note ever made
Blackye note 4 is still good...just wait for new phones to come out
RuinedBlackCat I'm on my Note 2.. Was gonna upgrade to 7, now I don't like the note 8. I use the s-pen a lot, which is the only thing that's stopping me from getting the s8. I don't know what phone I should get, note2 is almost dead.
I'm on my note 5 and i think i'll keep this till the next note release (note9 or 10 probably)
Dita Anggraini how is the battery life, I'm thinking of buying one
Great video, thanks.
Always love you're views on things.
Wow michael that was fast dude! nice vid
Funny that Phone backs are getting uglier and uglier as the front is getting more and more gorgeous
Note 8 is the first one to enter the ring - now let's wait for the iPhone 8, Pixel XL 2 and specifically the V30 for the holiday competition
But who care the iPhone and Samsung will end up on top 2 sales chart anyhow
Audie Liem The U11's back looks better than the Note 8.
Just like what MKBHD said. The back of the phone is about 'how it feels', not 'how it looks', and it's kinda true at most times.
Xavier Lexus Concepcion Still, that's what many people will see, and it's ugly as heck. You wouldn't buy this phone if you want something that looks good.
Audie Liem the back of the phone does not matter the battery life screen quality and features do.
But I think it looks better than most of the phones out there. It's one of the best back designs I've seen
One of your best videos so far. This is my new favourite tech channel.
Still using my note 4 love it
That is one beautiful slim brick running Android.
Only problems I see:
Fingerprint sensor,
Battery capacity,
Bixby,
Price.
Still an impressie phone, but I'll probably wait for the next generation.
was it worth the wait?
@@blackcatredscarf1200 Actually yes, my note 9 is absolutely incredibly capable still.
Why is the background music so muted? It is one of the unique features of MrMobile's videos, which I enjoy a lot.
Was desperately waiting for this...
Hopefully this doesn't blow up my other hand
Daniel Maguire hahahha
Daniel Maguire Nah, this one is supposed to explode your pocket(iykwim).
Daniel Maguire it'll be worth it
Daniel Maguire hahahha
Daniel Maguire Wow that is so original
note 4=s5 with an s pen
note 5=s6 with an s pen
note 7=s7 with an s pen
note 8=you already get the picture
It's the whole point, the note is the same as the s but with an spen
this is how it's been for years, the real innovation is in the s line up.
It's just like iPhone 6 and then the 6s, 7 and 7s. Gosh
Yeah sure.
Note 3=s4 with 4K camera, s pen, USB 3.0, and 3GB of ram.
Note 4=s5 with s pen, 3GB of ram, more internal storage, metal frame.
Note 5=s6 with curved back, s pen, and more ram.
Note 7=s7 with s pen, USB C, new color, HDR display, iris scanner.
Note 8=s8 with s pen, more ram, dual cameras, and android 7.1.1.
No, you don't get it.
Dual camera, s pen, more RAM.
My favourite feature is the S Pen.
UnrealOG You forgot the difference between the S5 and the Note 4: The Note 4 has a QHD 1440p display.
Tanzim K Unless you've got the S5 LTE-A, which also has a QHD display
When everyone is busy with the essential.... Mr.fisher drops a bomb!
As always, bravo sir. 👏
It's called a GIF, not a GIF! Get it right people! 🍿
pwnrmasta You spelled it exactly the same. Therefore no one knows what you're saying.
MobileDecay That might just be the point. I believe this is what the humans call a "joke".
Mason Dydyk-Compeau Well I only saw the popcorn emoji just now. ☹️
Iron man is always first
Whenever i new phone comes out Mr. Mobile is the first video i watch
Great Video. Exactly my thoughts.
All things considered, does this mark the end of the Note lineup as the power user's dream due to the reduced battery capacity? If so, the series has definitely lost its mojo.
This is the largest battery of any Note yet, except the 7.
the other Notes had smaller screens.
Dan Cook Especially when the 7 exploded! That battery was huge!!! 🤤
MobileDecay yeah but the problem was not the size but how the battery manufacturer built the battery so it malfunctioned. I guess samsung just went for the safest route.
Jeemut Pratim Das Nope
4:43 Are you you an odd1sout fan Michael? :P (me too)
Thanks for the great video. That title though 😋...lol.
Thanks, Michael! Great video. I've been waiting since the Note 3 for this phone... but I'm a bit concerned about the smaller battery, and I'm frustrated already by the dedicated Bixby button... come on, Samsung! Give us a break!
Reduced battery capacity 👎
not a fan of the black bar on the back for all the stuff... seriously Samsung? it looks like it was last thing done from concept and your designers are like... hey where do we put all this... and the one guy goes... why not all together?
On the contrary, I think it looks much better than the individual "bubbles" previous samsung phones used.
Agreed it's sooo ugly. Such a configuration would have looked waaay better in a vertical alignment imo. To me, corner cameras should have horizonal alignment. Middle cameras should have vertical. It appears this year the note 8 and iPhone 8 are both going against that
Excellent video..
Watching this video on my lovely S8+ I think I didn't miss much with this Note series, waiting for S9+
Apple right now....... "ARE YOU KIDDING ME?" and Google right now.... " The dawn of ANDROID"
Am I the only one who actually doesn't like the note 8 design?
David Mörling I think it's too "edgy". In my opinion the s8/s8+ looks much better - them cameras tho xd
David Mörling i prefer my note 4. Removable battery, no curved screen, not too tall, not too wide. Just wish it had the specs of the 8
I with they would've made that camera section vertical. Better looking, and better placement of the fingerprint scanner!
TheMusketITuckedIt i hope they will return...i read one article saying samsung working on new removable battery method that can even let the ip68 in phones...this method is : removing the battery like removing the sim card with sim rejection tool...from the top...i like the idea
beautiful hand on cover michael!
Ur reviews are awesome
Loved the review, but I wouldn't be as quick to dismiss the usefulness of Bixby.
It'll be interesting to try in the real world again, that's for sure.
It's actually easy to dismiss it when Google Assistant works so great out of the box...and doesn't place a useless button on the phone to need to use it...
Google assistant is awesome and everyone loves it, no doubt. But Bixby is geared towards in app tasks and phone settings that other prominent assistants currently do not handle so well. I feel Bixby and Google assistant don't overlap much in functionality and Bixby is unlike other Samsung gimmicky features of S4 era (again opinion differs). The dedicated Bixby button, on other hand, is a whole new debate :)
Aah the all new wallet killer. For real tho, I'm buying this phone. Leave a like if you're gonna buy the new note 8
GREAT VIDEO MY HERO!
+Max Lee Ha! Thanks buddy!
by far the best note 8 hands-on video! :D
Styles doesn't make note 8 a proper note....... I miss note 4 days man...... Earlier it was NOTE 4!!!!.....now it's just a fancy s8+...... 🤔🤔🤔.......
Prashant Vashisht truss bigger battery than the s line and removable battery
stay mobile my friends
Video is awesome bro, I'm a sub now
Dude awesome review :-)
And they said its gonna be iphone 8 killer... puffhh.... bulls*it.
Aman Saini apple is killing iPhones themselves
note8 is so cool！！！！！
Dear mr Fisher Michael i simply wanted to remind you for the 25th times that when it comes to phone reviews you are the BEST !!!! Keep up the good work brother -:)
Now a review I have been waiting for, wonder if the not 8 has stereo speakers?
Am I the only one who doesn't like that camera area? No? Only me then
Nah, the back is really ugly.
Rez1 Hossain it looks worse than the iph8
Gosh me too.. I guess i'll be waiting for next note
It looks sick
Lest be honest guys an s8 is worth around 600 dollars so your telling me your willing to pay 500 dollars more for an extra camera and a useless stylus or “spen”, I’m not buying this shit the s8 is 100 times better it has the same processor and a bigger battery wtf
There were many Note 8 hands on videos in my feed, but I chose Mr Mobile's one
I want one. I had the Note 4 for 2 years and loved it. I had to return the Note 7 twice. So I have been using an S7 Edge as a daily driver since last fall. I miss the pen. Battery life testing, S pen use and new features, and cpu performance testing are what I want to see in the full review. As always, thanks for an excellent review. I have been following your vidoes (and preferring them over other reviewers) since your pocket now days. Keep up the good work.
I think it's pretty much game over for any other smart phone out there. Note 8 FTW
Not worth it, S8+ is not enough, S Pen most people don't use that often after a couple of days, save money and get a S8+
Moeez Syed s8+ is not enough? What does that mean?
Moeez Syed *Eh... People Buy the Note series BECAUSE OF the s pen brainiac.*
Agreed I had the note 4 for years and never used the pen,same with my brother and anyone else I know that has one
world best beast is back😍😍💪💪
What a hands on papa Awesome! Keep going!
Samsung should have put the camera sensor between 2 cameras & figerprint sensor at bottom of camera and made a face would be good than this ugly side by side design
The Tony Stark of smartphones is back
Not even close.
hafssiii but you know what I mean though 😅
I will love to see the full review.😊
I like the placement of the fingerprint scanner on the S8+ and I also like Bixby myself but I guess I'm just an oddball.
Notification Wale😉
What a stupid place to put the fingerprint reader! Seriously on the top near camera in a 6 inch device? Lol
Pepe doesn't Core i9-7980XEork in dark places.
I could be wrong but it seems to be even more to the right than on the s8/s8+
Karthik Nagarajan r yu stupid this is looking device so coool ...
Mr mobile, the GOAT mobile reviewer. No need to watch the unpacked event when I have this! 📳
I really like the look. Font and back.
