I'm still loving my 8 in 2021.
Same here!

How's its gaming performance?
Same here brother

Using a11 and wishing its a note 8
Using the fold 2 now but I do miss the note 8! It held really strong and never lagged on me, and I actually liked the fingerprint placement. Thinking of buying one for my dad bc I know it's still that good 💪
The other 10% want to buy one
I have a note 10 plus but i hope mine age like this one.
😂😂😂 you are right....and my Note 8 is 4 years old :))) TOP!!🔥🔥🔥
I still have mine. I'm on youtube typing this message with it
I'm here to find reasons not to upgrade my phone
Same. HAHAHAHAHA
same 😭
Same 👊
Same but I am trying to get the fold.
@@ZayGetPaid the fold is very weak phone
The Note 8 is really a great phone. Fast, reliable and high quality. I love it !
For those who always want the latest, it may be old. Ask yourself: is the newest really always the best?
@Peter Nado Oh yes. Unfortunately, my Note 8 is broken. I`m looking for a new one. Is there anyone who could send me one?
It might be better but not double the price of this one better. Being able to buy a phone like this one for half or less than half price than when it came out, it’s perfect for me.
@@zorilaz Yes, it's a flagship from Samsung. But for this price you could have built more ROM memory, a better battery and a better speaker. I love it anyway, because it just feels good.
@@zorilaz If you love Samsung, you will be very satisfied with the model A32 4G. Good battery, good performance, good screen. I bought one for my wife. Good choice !
Its not fast after samsung updates they slowed it down purposely imo
Got the note 8 in October 2017 as a present. Still using the note 8 since then. Going to use it for another 2 years before I call it quits.
I need 1
Same i got mine in october 2017 . But had a 2x repair because of water damage .
@@hikirari205 isn't it water resistant?
@@ajtch9742 I mean it is, but mine is very bad like the phone's glue doesn't protect my phone at all, i just accidentally dip it at the pool for around 5 seconds inside my pocket, then boom power is off and proximity is gone.
Iris Scanner is so underrated. In this time of pandemic when everyone is wearing mask or gloves, its the safest screen unlock. I use it all the time! 🙂👍
I'm mad at myself for not even thinking about that
most of the face recognition work with mask only the stupid iphone id not
You see guys Samsung thought about the pandemic before it happened to come out with that feature😏
The fingerprint scanner is exactly where my finger goes without bending the finger in no unnecessary way. Never understood why the reviewers say this.
Watching this on my note 8 that I have as a back up phone. It works absolutely fine.
Same, maybe because my hand is big
I agree it's in the perfect location for me too.
same, even tho my hands are small my finger lays right on the scanner
Yeah same 😂
Yup my finger naturally gravitates to where they have the fingerprint sensor placed on it. That's one fuss people made with this device that i didnt understand
I still have the Note 8, had them replace the battery, and it went right back to being amazing. Still super fast, no laggyness anywhere, and looks great. I can't see why I need a $1300 phone for my daily internet browsing and TH-cam
How long have you been using your Note 8? Mine is almost 5 years old now and I really don't want a change.
The iris Scanner in these days is a blessing. My note 10 won't unlock when I'm wearing a mask. My note 8 does, even in the dark, when I'm wearing a mask. The Heartrate sensor is a thing I use very often when I'm working out. Its a shame they took all these cool features from the note series! Who's with me ?
I just bought a brand new note 8 coz i broke my 11 pro max. I love the note 8 more, its more fun and playable. And the sd card slot. Samsung technology is ahead of apple.
I'm still rocking with my Note8, one of the most beautiful notes ever made! Note 4 and Note 8 my all time favourite
lol i got a note 4 too
I went from a note 4 to an 8. Great phones.
Exactly! I had the Note 4 and the Note 8 and love them both.
$130 for Samsung Note 8. Is t worth the price?
i`m also still with my Note 8, i am looking for a reason to change but couldn't` find one.
For me the best phone ever !
I think the design is still better than many present phones
.....especially the notched iphones and punch hole camera set up with the new Android phones....i HATE THAT
I still love the note 8!
Thanks for the info!
I still own and use my note 8. I had it since it came out love it. It does way more than most phones till this day. Great phone.
I just got it myself only to find out that it doesn't have a way of turning on data connection only wifi
hello, could you please tell me one thing 🙏🙏🙏 do you update your system or stay on the old one????
Will still work with new technology on Feb. 2022?
I had the Note 8, upgraded to Note 9 in 2019 because there was a really good deal. Both of those phones are great and unless you like gaming or need a little bigger battery, Note 8 and 9 are basically the same thing.
Yea I didnt like the 9 and went back to the 8
lol had it since release, still a beastly device. Think it's time for an upgrade now tho, will still keep the old boi since it never let me down for 4yrs.
I have a Note 4 on Android 6, with no plans to upgrade soon, lol.
lol you are wise but beware of screen burning
Sos my father. he has one.
@@a_alkotob can that happen to note 8?
@@nyzer1620 yeah
Lame
Funny how a phone from 2017 still has a better quality display than anything from 2021 (unless new Samsung flagship products)
i always see this kind of comment on any note 8 video, saying that the display is the best even in 2021, can u tell me what seperates it to the new phone releases?
@@applepie5657 depends which phone you're comparing it to. Every brand has a different display
This is my husband's current phone 👍
Fun fact about the note 8 if you record a video in landscape mode and watch it back with headphones on, you can hear that the phone has binaural recording. (Which basically means the left side of the phone has its own microphone and so does the right and you hear the left side on your left ear and same with the right)
I'm still using my Note 8 as a main device with Hades Custom Rom Android 9.0 its smooth as always.
I have discovered through youtubers like you and several others a few year old flagship phone is way better than any budget offerings. My phone is still faster than most any budget device out there. I sell electronics for a living and almost always will try to find them a older flagship over a budget.
Note 8 was a beast smartphone for sure but is just getting old now and without software support it would be useless at least for some people. But still if someone wants to use a custom rom is needed..
They still have software support.
who else are watching this on note 8
Got my note8 used last year. Best phone I ever owned
I just upgraded and purchased a note 8. It's an upgrade to me bc I've been on a note 4 for years. I'm excited to get it. The note 4 is still going strong but the camera just sucks 😭 and the screen is starting to die. It keeps fading out as I'm on it.
congrats! wish u a nice using experience ❤
Please, how is the Note 8 camera.
I also want to buy one.
Note 8 is still my beast . I played with new Iphones/Androids and I would not say good bye to my Note 8 for any. The display is wonderful, the proc is so fast with no lag. The only thing I did is that I changed the battery and the back cover (break it couple of times) . And the beast is alive and more powerfull. Is so amazing to see it everyday working like 3 years ago. No complain. Is one of the last good things done in our days. Ill keep it for couple of years at least. Pictures are so beautiful and colors so alive. Im happy. They did a mistake. They did it very good and so strong. Is a real undercover beast.
What did you do with Kevin!!!
I'm watching this on my note 8
Showing it's age now. Stuck on android 9 and one UI 1.0. its really falling behind. Some of the 2021 budget devices run circles around it now
Recently traded in my Note 8 for the S20 FE and while I don't regret the decision because it's superior in nearly every way that matters (plus the phone was free through T-Mobile and Costco promotions), I miss my S-pen everyday! The bright side is I'll have much higher trade in value when jumping back into a future Note. Long live the Note series!
I stopped using my Note 8 last year cause I thought it was too old. However, after watching this video I realized that it's not that far behind alot of today's top rated phones. I'm gonna try it again.
I bought mine in September 2017 when it was launched, cost 1010 euros here in Spain. I bought it to replace my damaged Note 4. Still rocking it!! We can be picky about the features, because I know I have but it does the job. My most major gripe was the poor quality S-Pen, I have replaced 5 S-Pens as i use it pretty much everytime i ise the phone because of my big fingers. Best quality Smartphone I've had so no need to replace it until it fails me.
I am still happy with it and see no need for upgrade... But i am waiting for note 22, to maybe purchase...
Still rocking mine and love it
I still love my Note 8!
yes it is very much worth it
good battery and decent cameras

I'm here in 2022 looking to get a 2nd phone for work, I have a latest iPhone for personal use but growing up i remember loving one of the original note phones! must of been the first or second one. I was looking for something for literally taking notes, calls/texts. Maybe some youtube in downtime. I was thinking of the note 10 plus but im not sure if its worth saving a couple hundred and just grabbing the note 8! doesnt look to bad at all!
Still using mine only the finger print sensor doesn't work anymore, still a great performer
Bought one yesterday for $230, I'm upgrading from an iphone 4s so I dont give a fuck about any of its downsides, its gorgeous
the last phone to retain the 3D touch home/unlock button. very very handy
Need help: my note 8 screen shatter/broke, back glass broke. Is it still worth the money to replace both component?
Got my Note8 in 2017 as a gift, still using it and no complaints... hope to use it for 5 years
Me too maybe I will upgrade to note 22 end 2022...
I just got ordered one today can't wait til it comes in
I ordered one too. I can't wait this phone looks sooo cool! Have you received yours yet?
I just got a note 10 plus for a great price. I still have my note 8 and after almost 4 years it's still a great device. I will miss that headphone jack though.
I still love my samsung note 8 now playing call of duty mobile still having max graphics and frame rate superb
Good because i had the note 9 but im getting the 8 lol so atleast i know cods graphics are good haha
Anybody know why when I reply to comments on Facebook with my Note 8 it never displays the persons name? I press reply and it just brings up the text window without putting the persons name at the start. I dont know if this is a facebook or phone setting.
I have the Note 8 and it’s the second Note 8 due to the first one getting a hardware fault in the charging usb c slot. Now my second Note 8 has the fault and I charge wirelessly all the time. The headphone socket that hardly is used, also not working. I am still using the phone for now, however will be upgrading soon. I never had a issue with the fingerprint sensors position and you get use to the position quite quickly. I think it’s over hyped about the position being difficult to touch.
I am upgrading to S22 Ultra from a Note 8, before that I had a Note 2 which was my first smartphone. I am more then confident that this will a good upgrade, just as note 8 was compared to Note 2. I am glad they have decided to continue the Note line (even if it`s included in the S22 lineup)
this phone feels much better in hand then the note 10/20
This is great phone had it 3 years been the best phone 8 have ever had, never slowed down camera and video fantastic but now old friend I'm must say goodbye as have pre ordered s21 ultra
Love my Note8 but sadly screen is burning , very expensive to change a screen . Might move to Pixel6Pro
The screen on my OnePlus 6t started going out a few weeks ago, so I ended up picking up a Note 8 for $100. I was worried about going back to Android 9 and from SD 845 to 835, but overall it's been surprisingly solid. Can't complain, especially considering the other options for a hundred bucks 🤷🏻♂️
Where did you buy it from?
@@user-zp8jv2yt7s i second the motion. Note8 here in my place ranges from $230-$300.
@@user-zp8jv2yt7s I got it locally from a guy on FB market. Got super lucky, all the other ones I found were $200+
@@stayfrosty4448 man how do u find deals like that?! I always hear of these deals after they're done.
Was it used or open box? Are you having any issues?
@@therealb888 I found it on Facebook market, it was used but I had zero issues with it the entire time I used it. I decided to just go for it and got an S21 Ultra a couple months ago, but the Note is still going strong. The only "problem" I had with it was being stuck on an older version of Android, but it's a solid phone otherwise.
7:45 if you go through the set up Bixby thing it'll let you remap it and if you find the Bixby in the app settings thing you can like force stop it or make it never start up
Screen is f'd up, should i buy a 300usd phone or change screen for arround 200usd?
I'm watching this on my 8
I bought the S8+ when it was 1st released. I destroyed the screen on the S8 so back in 2019 I decided to buy a refurbished Note 8 off of Amazon for $300. I've had this phone for a year and 1/2 now and I love it! 😊
Third! LOL Great vid Kevin as always
Its 2022 and my note 8 is still kicking. It has a large dead pixel spot in the middle of the screen and it has really bad screen burn in from watching TH-cam videos on it for so long, but no bad scratches or nothing. I have an otter box case and i will now and forevermore always go with otterbox it has saved my phones life 100x over, the case itself is completely worn down all of the buttons are completely smooth accept for the Bixby button. And there are chunks of plastic that have fallen off but it is still holding together
Note 8 is still a big device, it is still capable of all tasks in 2021 and can perform better then other midrange phones
Using note8 since feb 2018 , still working perfectly even after 3 years+
My works still perfect too. Only has lost 20% battery capacity and chrome om one button. I use the phone very much...
Man I still loved my Note 5 but it has water damge. I only want the Notes. Can someone please tell me if this is a good phone. I need a phone ASAP
Nice vid, I recently broke my note 9, I have no problem picking up a note 8 if I can't find a a note 9 for a good price.
Where did you find a good deal from
@@christianestrada6848 I go to the neighborhood phones stores or the flea markets, search around compare prices
You should look for a S10 Plus instead
@@LETTITBITYT well after finding my note 20 ultra 5g for 725, what more can I say,
I have the note 8 and iPhone 12 mini on two separate lines and use them almost equally. There are times when I just want a small phone and other times when I want to view youtube movies on my note 8.
I bought my T-Mobile Note-8 the month it dropped. I'm still using the Note-8. I like it's multitasking capabilities, the S-pen smart capture to copy text, camera and video. It really has a lot going for it. I paid $1000 for it, but I've had it for at least 4 years and it is better in many ways than my laptop. It's great for photo editing and video as well. I could go on and on.
Just bought one for 45 dollars lol

@@lilsmart805 yes its 4g

I just bought it used for 70€ in excellent condition. So happy about making this bargain. Still live my one pkus 7t pro way more tho, but this is cool too
If I was about to sell mine it would be 200 bucks not 70! Still works like a beast in everything...
Its still good . Am using it since after launch. The only issue now is my battery is old... camera place... u need to clean the camera if u accidentally put a finger there.. and u need to be very careful when installing screen protector. I use external sd card alot. But 55/64gb internal availability. Security updates till today
It gets
Excellent video
I still love my note 8 mines almost mint with zero screen burn which just makes it gorgeous and it definitely holds up in 2021 gorgeous screen and built and android 9 one ui isn't the end of the world as its not much different to one ui on android 10 and don't forget guys were still getting security updates
All in all I'd recommend this phone over the a series phones as I was previously a note user but back in 2017 after my note 4 I switched to the A series Samsung's first was a samsung galaxy a7 2017 then the 2018 a7 and then I ended up getting a a50 but I have to say moving back to the note 8 was so worth it I've missed the s pen and the screen wow definitely holds compared to Samsung's mid range devices in performance but the built the note 8 is on next level
This was a great review....
Will it work with T mobile ad they move 5 G ?
My ONLY complaint about this phone is that the screen will burn images whenever using a screen for an extended period of time. My keyboard is a visible shadow that never goes away. I still prefer my Note8 over everything else I have tried and I am currently using my third one. I love the 35mm jack and would try the newer Notes if they hadn't changed that one feature.
@dula peep The jack also supports both of my external microphones, computer speakers, the headset base for the wireless earphones for my mother's television and the traditional style headset that my elderly mother uses when she talks on the phone because she can't hold or hear through the smart phone speakers. Not to mention people who have to wear hearing aids can't use earbuds you ignorant jerk. Mind your own business.
I was just gifted this phone in brand new condition. Should I stay with the stock software or attempt a lineage install?. Note 8 and iPhone 7 plus here. I will never spend $800 on a phone again. I can no longer justify it.
Most Budget Phones Have Thinner Bezels and a more Modern Design on the Front Making it look not as premium as it could Be.
@Jim Russell Friesen Which is more of a hindrance Imo.
@Jim Russell Friesen The Budget Phones With The Hole Punch look More Premium Anyways.
Its a great phone and I still have it. Still using the note 8. I don't recommend anyone to buy it, unless you can get it for really cheap. IMO its better to get a 2 year old flagship phone. Mine was a year and half year, refubished flagship. It still had a 9 month warrently from Samsung. I check at the Samsung store and they confirmed it. I would get a year and half or a 2 year phone. I think that is the sweat spot for the price. My note 8 is still running fast, but I know Samsung will slow it down eventually.
If you don't care and don't use it much, then it's different. You can always turn on and off the data to save battery. I did that with the note 4, four or five times a day and the battery did not drain. If I kept data on then in would drain in 2 hours. If you need a phone for work, even though it's running great right now, I would not recommend the note 8, Samsung could eventually slow it down.
I guess most of the people watching this, already have a note 8 lol
Still have mine. Its a great phone that aged very well. Dont see the point upgrading to the new Note phone (forgot what its called.
Watching on my 4.5 year old note8 in 2022... no reason to change it 😊
I got my note 8 for 200$ from my buddy I love it....using 3 year old flagship phones is the way to go over budget phones IMO.
Exactly what I've always done with phone purchases. You get a 3 year old phone that is still great, and upgrade every few years.
Mine is works fine however after last year July update My phone fcked up and I can't use it without WIFI. That sucks.
People still asks me which phone i used in my Japanese trip in 2019.... i tell them note 8... till today. In 2021... they tell me the phone camera is great!. Watch it urself in my youtube account
I can't figure out why people are still using this when there's no longer updates for it I've tried updating it and there is no updates for it and I read that they're not even a support you can't even use them because they're not updated and there's no updates for these phones
I've had my note 8 sense day 1 and its been an amazing phone the best I've had yet, but its finally dying on me sadly so I'm having upgrading now.
Came to find out if worth paying 70$ for cracked note 8, also to upgrade from Samsung j7 prime. My s9 is broken completely...
I like that it has got an iris reader and galaxy note 10 and 20 don't have it it makes much easier
My note 8's screen turns yellow after update few months before and i think i need buy a new phone
Have had mine since November 2017. Never found the fingerprint scanner placement to be an issue.
Still using mines but will it update. Keeps saying its updated. Help plz. Stay blessed
What about battery life ?
I want to know how to put the blurry shade wen editing my photos 📷 on a Samsung galaxy A51
I just got my note 10 plus and I alternate between the 2. The 8 has become my beater phone but am still happy with it. I personally like this finger print scanner better than the note 10 plus. Trust, muscle memory will set in. I believe I could have still used my note 8 as my primary phone another year or two no problem. Got the 10 because of a really good opportunity. I am writing this comment on the note 8.... Note 8 is a great phone!
My note 8.. 3 years in.. watch out for screen brkng.. rest all awesome..
Use all the iris things to buy things online. Works perfect.
Samsung Galaxy note 8 is a legendary phone and a masterpiece from Samsung,so it's an easy pick even in 2021.
Functionally my N8 was a great phone and the only one I purchased at the end of lease. Although once announced that it wasn't receiving any further updates the future started to become useless. Then I received an offer too good to be true for new phones. While I intended to wait until the S21 I jumped to Note20 Ultra 5g which now appears to be the best choice.
Still have mine, never had a problem, really like
Can you make a video about galaxy dex on note 8..pls.
Still using the note 8 today. Poco F3 at £300 is the closest feature wise I can find that wouldn't be considered downgrading.
You do gain 5G and 128-256gb storage but loose wireless charging, the s-pen, samsung pay and dex. Cameras, NFC, wifi and bluetooth are close enough to be a wash.
Its getting close to the point ill upgrade but when a battery replacement is £200 ill likely go for that instead and get another 2years out of it
