The most common thing you'll hear since the Galaxy Note 8 was announced is that you're really just buying a Galaxy S8+ with an S Pen. The thing is that the more I played with the Galaxy Note 8, the more I learned that wasn't so accurate. Side by side, these two siblings are definitely built from the same mold. We have the same glass and aluminum finish on each that's both gorgeous, but looks aren't everything.
Watch our full video to learn more about why these devices are different.

Samsung Galaxy Note 8 vs Galaxy S8+ | Pocketnow
• Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ...

"Just" an s-pen... that s-pen adds so many functions and Samsung added so much software to work with it. This is on top of the software and hardware upgrades they added compared to the S8.
Anyone who thinks this is just a slightly better S8 hasn't looked at this device enough.
Most people I know with Notes never use the S-Pen.
The Camera features have been done before, the extra RAM is only there because TouchWiz is shit.
It literally is an S8 Plus+
DrMacintosh yeah like one+'s phones are shit cause they have like 8gb ram. Android is heavier to run compared to ios. Touchwiz is just a skin not an operating system so it does not have anything to do with performance.
Denver Cayle Ong It directly impacts performance. If TouchWiz was just a skin it would perform just like stock Android, but it doesn't, TouchWiz is a massive hit to performance.
Denver Cayle Ong Except it has a lot to do with performance... Lol don’t comment if you don’t know what you’re talking about. Thanks
You do realize that you did a poor job in the defense of your initial statement. You did little too show major differences. In addition do these differences warrant $200 out of my pocket
Samuel Pellew $130*
C.D. Riley 200*
agreed
Apple Sheep no... its $130 more at tmobile.
Osiiris thank you!
The LG and the iphone 8 will distroy the Note. I'm getting the LG. No innovation from Samsung whatsoever
Maybe Samsung should remove some of the features on purpose in the s9 and give them only to the note 9 so that people will stop complaining.
Even the greatest phone ever is useless if it can’t last you a day and that small battery already kills the note.
WHEN WILL PEOPLE UNDERSTAND? The note 8 is NOT meant to be an upgrade from the s8, but from the note 5/7
Using a Note right now, I don't see myself moving to a phone without a stylus anymore.. I love the OnePlus 5 right now, but I guess I'll definitely miss the stylus, I use the stylus a lot.. In that sense, S8+ doesn't appeal much for Note users I guess..
The note 8 isn't supposed to be an upgrade to the s8, they're different lines of phones with different purposes. The note 8 is a long overdue upgrade for screwed over note 7 users and note 5 users. The note is a more productivity oriented phone, and the s8 is average consumer oriented.
If the iPhone 8 sales do better than the Note 8 and S8..... that's because
1. Its an Apple product duh.
2. Its a huge leap from what apple usually does. So a lot of their fans would want to see that.
If you thibk the N8 is just a an s8++ that's probabaly because Samsung has pretty much done everything they can do at this point.
IMO Samsung is at its prime right now.
And do you really thibk Samsung isn't gonna play it safe after what happened with note7. The phone hasn't been released yet. Buy it and then talk about battery.
.1 bigger screen ? The s8+ has 6 gb ram in other markets ? Dual camera is a plus and the s pen but not for $ 200 more
I pre-ordered my Note 8 thru Samsung.com and save $300 bucks for the note 5 trade-in. $621 for the note 8...can't wait
Samsungs s8 plus should of never been that big the plus should be the size of the normal s8 and the normal s8 should of been an all screen display thats only has a 5.2 inch screen. That way the 3 phones are all very diffrent sizes.
Do you think it is worth upgrading from a galaxy to a note 8, with them being almost the same, because Samsung has really just Ben hyping the s- pen. But why do you need a stylist for a phone anyway. It is not like it is a iPad pro
I own the S8+ I preoordered my Note8 because people also thought the Note7 was just an S7 with a pen. We know that was false. The folks on TH-cam whom were at the event calling the Note8 the "S8++" or "the S8 with a pen" will eat those words.
DJ GMONEY damn you got money
i so agree with u, also those people get paid from companies just to talk shit about other companies, u know what i mean. some people simply can't admit that is the best phone on market
Travis Sivart as a former Note7 owner, I did the trade of an iPhone 5s. I paid $536 with taxes. I also used Ebates and I got $84 back which means my Note8 cost me under $500.
Jouz I am. LOL
DJ GMONEY my God where did you buy it? A 5s has a trade in value of $100-200, which would still leave you at like $700 to pay for the Note
So the note 8 is effectively the s8 pro. Am I correct?.
Abdurrahman Alchoughri cheers
George Pxr no it's a NOTE, hence the pen. This has always been the case lol everyone is getting brainwashed by these reviewers on TH-cam who just parrot each other for more views/subscribers.
Same chipset.
Note 8 has 2 gigs more ram and an S Pen.
S8+ legit the same as note 8 but 2 gigs less ram but it has a bigger battery life
No one realizes that the note 8 is an upgrade from the note 7... or note 5... not the s8+!
Conclusion, just get the S8 Plus and save the $200!!
Señor. We all know your name by now. Please stop repeating it.
Joshua Walker how about you stop watching?
Sound Reason no
Right when the video ends is when this comment made sense

Dude, don't bring my porn addiction into this
So why do we have glass backed phones?..you've got to use a case or at least some kind of skin on it...so let's use anther kind of material...
jonah travisano wireless charge you stupid bitch
My S7 Active charges wirelessly and doesn't have a glass back.
Let's keep it real. You're getting .1 inch screen size increase, a dual camera with the same aperture and pixel count, 2 additional gb of ram, and an spen.
The only true differences are the spen and the 2 extra gb of ram. This note is an overall disappointment and yes it's just an S8+ with an spen and an inflated price tag.
People who held out for it could have had the exact same device in the form of the S8+ 6 months ago.
Plot twist: it’s actually just the leftover s8+ stock rebranded
I got a 3 minute ad about 10 nanometer semi conductors from Samsung before this
S8 plus has a bigger battery with a smaller screen
S8 is still overall better and people just now comparing both of the phones I mean c'mon it's just 3-4 months old phone that too a flagship so it is definitely good
5,8% smaller battery, not 10%😄😜✌️
im early let me think of a joke.
air pods
I preferred the Samsungs phones for a long time. Now considering buying the Note. I was upset that new Galaxy doesn't have the norman display version to choose. I don't get people being so excited for this edge display. It's the only reason I'm not buying the Galaxy anymore.
So, when the OnePlus 5 is $200 cheaper, it's a big price difference, but when the Note 8 is $200 more expensive, it's "meager"?
What's the point of the Note line at this point? The S-pen isn't used by most people, and its inclusion means you get a smaller battery than the S8+. They should just add the dual cameras to the plus model and get rid of the Note line. A stylus and an extra camera doesn't warrant an extra $200 on the price tag.
The note 8 is just another Samsung Galaxy S8+ with S Pen, sorry Samsung but this time we don't see big changes between the new Galaxy note 8 and the note 7 and there's no big difference between SGS8+ and SGN8 either
nobody's impressed by new phones unless they really go the extra mile in specs and/or features these days and even then they still find a way to nitpick and criticize the phones for not being the ultimate in their category. personally i'm excited to get this because i miss my note 4 and the s pen, and now that i've had an s7 for a while i wouldn't dream of getting a phone that's not waterproofed. i think the note 8 is the perfect mix of both with the added bonus of a sweet dual camera setup and the deep sea blue color in canada
Do you think that the iPhones so called "face or Pearl ID" will be so advance that it will be a no-brainer to replace it with touch ID and do you believe that you can look to it laying down and a table and it will be able to recognize you face
I had the Note 7 then S7 now the S8+ I will be getting the Note 8 then Note 9. I'm getting back in track. I only upgrade to Note phones since they've been around
Literally no reason to upgrade to the Galaxy Note 8 unless you are coming from an older model. Who really wants to have the pen?
Matthew Lemmers many ppl swear by the s-pen
Matthew Lemmers literally everyone who has ever bought a note
Right
Hi Merry Vera! Hi Merry Vera! Hi Merry Vera!
The Note 7 was an S7 with a pen same shit but now everyone complains
hjchamp04 no , it has an
A pin , bigger desplaiy, face recognition and explosive capability.
There is a huge difference buddy
Think of the Note8 as next year's S9+... slightly larger, dual cameras and faster memory. 😇
Hm Good Dual Camera..but i also excited to see the V30...better audio and useful wide with Wide aperture...
This phone would have made more sense if it was released side by side with the S8/S8+. 6 months down the track though, the difference is not big enough. IMO, it just needed one more key feature to tip the scales (eg. 128GB storage, even better quality front camera, stereo speakers, bigger battery than the S8+)
Call me crazy but there's a LOT of Lumia features in the software of both the S8 and N8. Sometimes I feel the Microsoft helped or influenced some of the software on these new Samsung's, hence why they even have a Microsoft edition S8. Those who have a Lumia 950 or XL will understand...
I love the S-Pen.....but find it more useful on a tablet or on Samsung's Chromebook Plus (both of which I own). I owned the Note7 last year and it was a great device. But I have to admit to finding a phone screen too small to really be effective as a note pad. That might just be because I write really big, but regardless, for me personally, the Tab S3 is the better way to enjoy the S Pen.
since they didnt put a bigger battery, they could have put an ir blaster or better speakers...or better dac idk. Kinda disappointed.
I wasn't surprised or disappointed that the s8 and note 8 have the same chipset. People need to realize that the days of 2 major chipsets upgrades a year is gone. It's been the same way with the last 2 years. The snapdragon 810 was released in spring of 2015 then in spring of 2016 we got the 820 and later that fall we got the 821 a slightly faster 820, then this year we for the 835 in spring and more then likely were getting slightly faster 836 this fall. In the note 8 your paying for a 50% more ram and the s pen and Samsung software for the pen and a extra lenses. When the S8 was released I predicted the note 8 would just be a S8 with a better camera setup and a pen I wasn't wrong at all, and also I am not majorly disappointed because there isn't much more Samsung could she added to the note 8. If you know smartphone enthusiasts and follow them you should not be shocked at all that this is what the note 8 is!
Sorry but this review is coming from a guy that doesn't seem phased by the potential of the iPhone 8 coming with an incredible 4K @ 60 fps with rear AND front cameras which is a massive leap in mobile tech. Just seems sketchy to me.
Anyone who knows anything knows more RAM doesn't do anything to performance. You can run actual PCs on 4 GB just fine. There's not reason for a note that's twice as much as a s8. Even apple can justify their new phones better
There's a (great) trade-in deal at Best Buy if you pre-order the S8. Check it out before you knock this phone.
Btw, I'm not being paid to say this, just did research today.
Anyone who thinks the Note is just a S8 with an S-Pen then they clearly don't understand the point of the note line. With that being said, I do miss when the Note used to be FAR superior to the Galaxy S series especially in terms of battery capacity and overall specs
I'll wait for the S9
Still riding on the S7 Edge
As a previous owner of the note 7, there is still something missing with the note 8 that I just can't put my finger on it
I got a $425 discount because I was one of the ones who purchased the Note 7, traded a lg g4 i got on ebay for $80 bucks.. So if you play it smart, you could get a deal on this!
Every "good thing" Jaime said of Note 8 are things he said he isn't using on iPhone 7+. I think PocketNow have a lot of Note 8 videos planned so they need to drum up excitement.
I see lots of people commenting that Note 8 is S8+ with S pen and that they will buy an LG V30 instead. But when the V30 comes out they will see its almost the same phone as a G6 with some minor upgrades. What will they do then?
Don't understand how anyone who knows what they're talking about will complain about the price of the Note 8 and even remotely suggest the iPhone is worth the price Apple is asking.
I think the Note 8 knocks it out the park. Let see how the battery life stacks up to my S8 Plus. I absolutely love my S8 Plus and can't see myself trading it for the Note 8 but who knows
So a duel camera that doesnt have tje software to merge the pictures or give additional creativity options you basically take two pics and chose what which one you want. Samsung have the software tech but they want to drip feed the note models range. Note 9 will come with better camera software features i bet you.
Good phone but nothing "wow" about it. I think I'll wait until the reviews of the LGV30 and Pixel 2 before deciding
If the Note 8 is larger than the S8 Plus in every dimension, then how in the hell does it have the smaller battery? I guess the S-Pen takes some internal space but still. It is disappointing.
essentially the same phone... I didn't hear anything that truly distinguished them outside of the pen, sharper edges, and dual cameras. Not worth the extra money IMO
When S8 got released people wanted to wait a little more for Note 8, Now when the Note 8 is released people are still thinking to wait for S9 and the story continues. Same story goes for iPhones. Guys, please learn to settle down and stick to your decisions.
Note taking is not just nice to have if you take notes on a daily basis as for many pro users but essential. Why can't we have real deep thinking about productivity by reviewers?
I like the fact the edges are not so round - better grip and less unintentional side effects. Interested to see if it's worth the extra bucks, tho, as I'm currently shopping for a phone (and ain't a fan of those Chinese brands).
I had the note 1, 2, and now still using my note 3, which for me still does the job. Love the note series but i think i like s8plus already.
So sad I just got that s8 plus
Cool video, I ended up getting the Note 8. There was a deal going on at one of my providers and I got the note 8 on a pay monthly plan for only a couple extra bucks a month than the S8+
A lot of people throwing negative thoughts about Note 8 but the real thing is they are getting jealous coz they can't afford to buy. No one force you to buy, go get midrange phone. Lol
With the Note 8 being a bigger phone, putting a thick case on it would add a couple inches to the length and width of the phone. So do I want to spend about a thousand and not put a case on it? Man! I can only imagine how much it would be for the insurance. #HighPrice #TooHigh #WillWait #ImGood
T mobile has the note 8 for $685 preorder. Im going to wait until they bring other colors to US. They bought coral blue after a month or so
Thanks for showing me the Orchid Grey one. I already preordered mines. But was feeling kind of doubtful, if whether I chose the wrong color. If the gold one was out I would have chosen it. Everyone is probably going for the black. And thanks for pointing out getting a case for it. And I suggest a screen cover. So we will be able to preserve the beauty for next trade in or sell in the future.
TheDivaFlava no way orchid gray looks way better than the black one, the black color looks too dull, I have the orchid gray s8 plus and it looks great, I'm glad I got it, not too mention the midnight black phone shows fingerprints more easily also
Im wanted to buy the note but no point they should made something special.... Im using s8+ and don't see much difference
I have the s8 and the only things I hate are the Bixby button and the 18 by 9 aspect ratio, what's the point of having a bigger screen if you fill the sides with black bars??
players_vip21 i agree there i never really like the new infinite display specially on the new note device bring back the normal 16.9
just buy s8 plus dont give 200 euros more for dual cameras and s pen doesnt worth it except if you are note user then go for it you have been waiting for 2 long years
Notification squadddddd
Jaime Rivera is the worst phone reviewer on TH-cam. Let Juan do the reviews and just stick to the news Jaime. Geesh!
Would you guys change the PocketNow logo since phones basically have no bezel or front buttons?
You forgot to mention the biggest difference between these two: the price. The hefty price tag for the Note 8 is something every review has to mention considering is one of if not the most expensive phone ever
If people want a phone with a pen they should just sell the s pen separate the s8 really need dual cameras but I guess they only made this phone to milk the consumers
All note 8's minor upgrades is meaningless since it has such a weak battery compared to da S8+
1:40 ... I wouldnt Dare do that 😂
Every year they say: "ThE NoTe Is LiKe ThE S bUt WiTh An SpEn". 🤷🏼♀️
@pocketnow is it true that the note 8 won't benefit from the new t mobile 700 band because it doesn't support it?
Thank you jamie for telling them what's real.
Not everyone is meant to understand galaxy Notes! Just as not everyone can differentiate between right and wrong.
With the beastly spec of the s8+, I don't think it's reasonable to upgrade to N8
Why trade my s8+ for a phone with less battery power. No thanks hell i prefer to type my notes anyway.
Well paying almost thousand bucks for a phone pretty insane even with all its high specs still is alot
Prefer the note 8 😄
They should had just put a SD840 with 8gb memory to justify the price
Lumia 1020 had a similar feature when you take a photo zoomed in you can later zoom out .
Please be sure to talk about any sacrifice with the smaller battery in your review. Thanks.
What was Samsung thinking when they announced the price tag of 1000 dollars are they mad. It should be 750 after the note 7 fiasco. Samsung hasn't learnt anything after that issue. They need to listen to the consumers more and give us the best of both worlds instead of just targeting one type of consumer.
That explains why they ditched flat screens
I was hoping for a little smaller form factor..too damn tall..Note 7 was perfect size
Automobile tough landscape survivor gently century retired pink pond.
not worth to buy note 8 because still using mono speaker. other brands are developed a lot
930 is too much for any phone they just want the money they lost from apple
thomas merrill not in Canada or in Austuralia
thomas merrill the i8 will cost 1k plus once it's released
thomas merrill It's 1200 dollars here.
thomas merrill Lol samsung isnt losing
thomas merrill wtf are you talking about? They're making money off of Apple who last time I checked crawled to Samsung for their superior oled displays
Great video Jaime! I can't wait to get my hands on this one.
So Samsung charge the extra cash for the S pen, ya ill pass or buy it cheaper next year
Perfect timing lol I was literally just looking for comparison videos
I'm gonna wait for the lg v30 and the mate 10 and then will make a choice.
Comment if you think this oan has one hell of a name lol like if you can't pronounce it
is it just me, but i feel the s8 looks more beautiful, the note 8 is too rectangular
