Samsung Galaxy Note 8 In-Depth Review by an iPhone User of 10 Years [4K]
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 ต.ค. 2024
- Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is my first Android Phone. This is what I think about it as an iPhone "Power User". I also compared it to my current main phone iPhone 7 Plus. I'll be comparing it to the upcoming iPhone 8 and iPhone X as well.
I hope you enjoy this review.

"Why am I allowed to do this?" (customize home screen) - hilarious new droid user observation.
HAHA... Best part of the review!!
ErikTheRed 😂
ErikTheRed happens to everyone when we starts to taste the freedom for the first time 😉😋
one of the reasons why i have an android instead of an iphone
It is one of the best parts of this video😂😂😂
I'm a former iPhone user. Samsung saved my life.
Say no to iPhone.
Monkey D Garp never going back to Apple
dtbeachbums im trans.
Same just got this phone. Wont go back. Cant
Monkey D Garp how long ago did you switch?
Since Note 5.
The S Pen is one of the best features of the NOTE line. There are 30 minute videos on TH-cam covering all that can be done with it, which really makes using a small device like these phones handle like a much larger powerful productive system.
AND the S pen was never used by anyone after the first month.
CAPTAIN DRONE post link of that video for s pen
i'Pare - Mobile Gaming & More! Wow, nice blanket statement for everyone. You have any facts to back up that ingenious comment?
Here is the link to one of many Note 8 S-PEN videos: th-cam.com/video/oaUm3kzUTzI/w-d-xo.html
If you don't know what to use the S-PEN for, then you'll be massively surprised. My favs are Smart Select, Glimpse, Note taking, Scroll screen capture and of course the ability to annotate any screen, clip it and send it. If only every phone could do this.
Had the iPhone 5c, 6S, 6S Plus and 7 Plus. Switched to the Note 8 after not being impressed with what Apple came out with this year and I won't be going back. I love my Note 8. 👍
Gina Marie me^
I just love how he is impressed by just normal Android software lol. That's why I switched to Android from iPhones. Not so much the hardware but I love the versatility of Android software.
U know the hardware influenced your decision lol don't lie.
JoeyDon10 IOS is better
Too simple. I like variety and customization
And ok hardware alot too. Lol
JoeyDon10 thats the point though. APPLE has become the big evil corporation wolve that pretends to be the leader of the sheep
Not sure how I ended up here, but very glad I did. This is the best comparison of iPhone 7+ to Note 8 I have seen. I have a 7+ and it will probably be my last iPhone, not impressed with Apple any more. So out of curiosity I am shopping around for my next Android phone. You have sold me on the Note 8. You Sir have a very unique style and personality. You should have way more than 331k subs. You have one more today.
W Pope did you get the note 8?
7 mos. later.... RAW I am still looking, so many good Android phones out there right now I cant decide but will not be the note 8. They all have good points and all have negative points. I am still using my iPhone 7 + for now
I am in a similar situation and I was a mainly iPhone user until recently. I just got a Note 8 and so far it has been an incredible experience. It's amazing how much more fun and immersive it is. I am also surprised at how often I am using the SPen as it so convenient and simple to make quick notes and reminders. One difference I have noticed with the review is that I am getting much better battery life with the Note than with the iPhone. At the end of the day the Note is at about 30% battery, whereas my iPhone was rarely ever able to get through the day.
Anyway it's only been a few days so let's see if I'm still happy after 2 or 3 months, but so far the Note has been awesome.
Gandrewjm you'll love it because there's alot to learn. Note series are good phones
Gandrewjm That screen is everything and that smoothness to it thanks to 6 gigs of ram
Gandrewjm I’ve never had a iPhone I’m tryna decide if I wanna try one or the note 8
DamonsMistrisVampire it's been about a month since I have had my Note 8 and I have never been happier with a phone. A family member got an iPhone 8 plus and she is already trying to get it changed to an S8 Plus (or a Note 8 if her carrier gives a discount). To be honest, if you prefer iPhone, then get an iPhone 7plus and save some money as the user experience feels the same as the iPhone 8 plus. Or wait and see what the iPhone X is like.
Gandrewjm how is it going so far?
GREAT REVIEW. Samsung FAN GIRL here. I love my Samsung Galaxy Note 8 😚👀
Trish's World 😍❤️🌺
JoshuaR lol
Trish's World me too! I tried the iPhone and didn't like it. I switched back to android as fast as I could. 😂 I really liked my note 5, and I'm liking my note 8 more. 😄 I got some cool affordable cases from Amazon too. 😉
nikkib1002 yes those cheap cases are on point..lol
Trish's World lucky, i wish I had the new samsung.
You can either move the cursor or input continuously by swiping across the keyboard. You have to select it in the keyboard settings!
Dineth Panagoda I don't think the default Samsung keyboard does this. It might though. The Google keyboard allows swiping across the space bar to move the cursor.
Liquidmaximo yes it does i selected that in the settings on my note 8!!!
Even Galaxy S6 can do this. Enable it in settings.
For keyboard swipe controls-> go to settings-> language and input -> on screen keyboard -> samsung keyboard-> keyboard swipe controls-> cursor control
Thank you.
I enable the cursor keys.
" This, is, a very good looking person in the reflection" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This has to be one of the best tech reviews I’ve ever seen. Well scripted and humorous. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😂😂😂
Note 8 is the Beast of Beast
Hi iPhonedo beyciğim,
I'm really happy to see you reviewing an Android phone. So, here some tips for you;
1- You can change the swipe settings of the keyboard. One of them is writing by swiping, which is activated on your device. One of them is cursor movement by swiping. You can change it from phone settings.
2- Chrome doesn't have one-tap-to-go-top feature, but Samsung browser does. You can try it out :)
I would wish to know if apps support that feature? That's something I would def miss a lot if I switch to Note 8
The apps don't. The Samsung Browser supports this feature so far and the in built apps like the Phone, messages etc. All the samsung apps support this basically. Not third party apps. At least not Yet.
I love Samsung browser but I can't find any add-on to add the pull to reload feature. I love that!
HungerSlice , download the Samsung Internet Browser Beta version from the play store. The beta has the pull down to refresh feature. Gotta love android.
Ahh thanks!!!
I am completely in love with my note 8. Best phone ever till date. No doubt
I love my galaxy note 8 😍😍
MzKitty2013 I can't wait to get one
I love mine too it's awesome
I like my too on youtube
I have an s8 but i want an s8 note
I want it sooooooooo bad
Bixby is for controlling your phone so try saying "Hi Bixby lock phone" or "Hi Bixby set a reminder". Google is for asking certain questions that would search the Web, you can also set reminders and alarms and such things like that with Google, were Bixby comes in strong is controlling your phone 100% setting alarms turn the brightness down volume pretty much anything that requires you use your hands Bixby can do just by using your voice whilst Google can not.There are hundreds of more things you can do but that is what I noted you seemed slightly confused about in your video so I posted this comment. I hope it helped. 😊
it also tell you where you parked your car!! Just say remind me where I parked!! Nice phone
I still have my s6. I have 2 actually. I can't justify buying a new phone when there's nothing wrong with my current one and no mind-blowing new features. :/ Thanks for the review. You're great as always!
Neil Mutia sucks when you can't afford one right
Randal I can. However, I don't like wasting money. Don't fix it if it's not broken. 😊
Neil Mutia Does battery life get better at 1080p resolution?
Zoro I had the S7 edge last year. After the update to nougat battery was horrible. Good phone just battery is scrap even with settings set to low.
I miss my s6 but the battery sucked
ONCE YOU GO NOTE, YOU WILL NEVER GO BACK. 😆😉
Facts! 😭
Partly. I have the Note 9 and I'm disappointed by the camera quality and CPU overheating with LTE on. However, I'm spoiled by the bluetooth s-pen so I'll probably keep the Note
one more thing, fast charger included
and free wireless fast charger.
Yeah. All those freebies, people still buy the X over this. Lol
"Tim come here...im gonna show you something" 😆😆
JP Huwaè that had me cracking up!
Cool review appreciate the honesty and how you reviewed it.
You're killing me! Now I want a Note 8!!!
Gary Tashjian tried using Huawei mate 10 but had to go back to N8F/DS. So many more aftermarket peripherals available for Samsung devices compared to Huawei.
Android is freedom! Iphone is smoothness!
Just Watch Android is definently both. iPhone is anything but smooth. Did you see the section on turning on auto brightness on iPhone? Worst experience ever that! haha!
Just Watch what is all this freedom rubbish?? What are you guys always referring to as freedom? Pretty sure I'm free to do what ever I please on my iPhone...
I smile when I'm high ok can you? Download kodi and watch live tv, how about download a torrent file. No? Oh alright lol
David Seda are you talking about pirating? Yeah no thanks... I like to support devs
Branden M mate I'm sorry, but that just doesn't cut it for me
I am an iPhone user since 12 years, but now I'm in love with note 8, Apple gone nuts!!
lolrofllol Hahaha I know right note 8 is amazing so smooth and that screen is everything I can't resist just looking at it once in a while 😍😏
Perfect video. I'm also an apple user and was thinking of going to the Samsung side and this basically helped me make my decision!
Joshua Sanchez I've just switched from the iPhone 7 plus to the note 8 and am loving it. (♥ω♥ ) ~♪
Never had an iphone but stayed with android because of freedom and customize my phone however I want. Not saying ios is bad it's good but android is just where I feel free!
Androids are not reliable. , Apps doesn’t works perfectly because they have not been designed to work exclusively in note 8 ecosysytem, so many times apps show unexpected behaviour.Plus Samsung also has very bad track record in providing updates.
A Mittal I’ve had 3 updates for my iPhone since iOS 11. And it hasn’t been out long
That's not exactly accurate, I'm an android user who happens to own an I pad 12.9 tablet and a Samsung tablet . My son is a die harder apple fan and there have been times where he's thrown his I phone down because of an app not working correctly. No software is infallible. I also find myself geared more to my Samsung devices than my I pad might be because I feel as though while IOS is a little smoother I still find myself locked in and forced to live in a controlled system. Ugh and all those freaking apps stuck on the home screen looks so juvenile I know it's a caveat of mine , but I actual enjoy seeing my wall paper without having apps splattered across the screen. Don't get me wrong I'm not bashing IOS but having both systems I just prefer my android system I like the freedom and the Note 8 comes encrypted and since I've had it I've had no problems with it and usually after a month Samsung phones start to lag but that 64g of ram is a blessing allowing me to multi task and keep all my work documents encrypted and secure. You are right about those slow updates Samsung does lack in that area, Upon using my Ipad I've had some lag which I was shocked by because all I've ever heard is that apple apps don't crash., I like to go back to say once more that no system is infallible and again I've seen my son have issues with his I phone apps crashing or not responding he broke his last phone throwing to the ground because an app kept freezing after he updated his phone thinking it would fix the problem (bad temper and impatient he is). In closing I think we all buy what we feel works best for us. I've had the pleasure of using and owning both systems, I don't regret buying either tablet. Again I'm not bashing IOS. Be Blessed
Lol great review, I've had android forever and wanted to try iPhone, but then I played with it again and realized why I've never owned an iPhone
Welcome to the Android Family !!!
Hilarious and great honest review. You still have alot to learn with Android!
I have the Note 8 also. On the dialer screen. Bottom left is a envelope looking icon. Its you visual voicemail you was looking for.
+Wicky Wicklet No envelope here. That's the yellow contacts icon. I have an unlocked phone. I assume you would have one if you purchased your phone from ATT, Tmo, etc...
What Bixby can do is more impressive than Siri. You'll be amazed by Android, specially Note 8. 🍻
Cristino Ricky so you are saying that as fact bixby is way better than Siri
The Prince as simply as yes
Cristino Ricky in tests Bixby was far from the best, it didn't beat siri, but siri was also not the best.
Bixby right now excels at system functions, not so much outside world issues but Google assistant can be used for that.
tim mårtensson check out sakitech's Bixby vs Siri comparisons. Bixby is pretty amazing.
As a faithful iPhone user... *drool* (that frickin reachability and splitscreen!)
gnary that reachability been there since the Galaxy s5 too. Lol. Split screen been there since the s3
Dan sumone is hurt
jeez that's crazy, had no idea!
Dan You mad at facts bro? Wtf wrong with you
For keyboard swipe controls-> go to settings-> language and input -> on screen keyboard -> samsung keyboard-> keyboard swipe controls-> cursor control
Thank you.
I'm in the same boat. I've had iPhones and Macs for years but wasn't impressed with the X and have been debating switching. Just scared to lose FaceTime, IMessage etc
Yep, in the exact same boat.
Scott Heller same here but macs now are garbage overpriced and Lower în specs..
whissperrrr I can be convinced to switch to Android but there is no way I'm using a windows PC.
That's the trap, because you feel like your losing something but your not, you can do things just as easy on an android device same as with an iPhone buddy. facetime, imessage are just iPhone branded app's yet every phones has app's that they use for communication.
Scott Heller its worth it trust me. i came from ip7+. never looked back.
I watched your channel for the very 1st time today and I found it to be very entertaining. Good luck with your future videos.
Hey man great video. I have the phone an love it so far. Quick question though. When you zoomed in on TV e screen did you change the screen resolution to QHD in the settings before doing this? It seems like it's still set to FHD..
Brian Gugger I was also wondering if he changed his note 8 to 1440 because it ships with 1080 by default.
cuezaireekaa no it ships at 1440p default how do I know I have the note 8. Secondly just because the resolution is lowered doesn't mean the pixels just disappear so that wouldn't make a difference
Eric Magana That's interesting, I have the Note 8 also and it shipped at FHD (well FHD+ technically because of the screen's wider aspect ratio). And no, the pixels don't disappear, but everything on the screen is scaled down to the lower resolution if the phone is set to FHD+ so there would be a difference in quality. Especially if you zoom into the photo.
Brian Gugger Screens don't work like that because it's still the pixels on the phone that aren't changing. Yes it's scaled down but again it doesn't change anything when you zoom onto the screen is my point
Eric Magana I think the point you are trying to make is that the phone is still capable of outputting the same amount of pixels reguardless of what setting you have it on. That I agree with. But the whole point of scaling the Note 8 or S8's screen down to FHD+ is that it's saves battery life by only outputting images in that particular resolution. That means if your eyes are good enough or if you zoom in on a photo via screen shot or taking macro photo, you will notice a difference in resolution of that picture. If you have a Note 8 you can give it a try. Or even a computer monitor. If you change the resolution on a computer monitor and then look at the same picture you will see a difference. So going back to how that applies here, if he took the picture when the phone was on FHD+ instead of WQHD+ then what we see here on the TH-cam video won't be crisp as the phone is capable of.
Great review. I switched to the Note 8 from an iPhone. I had been using iPhones for a very long time, and was in the market for a new phone. I couldn't justify the X at $1000. The last android phone I had was the S3. I couldn't be happier with the Note 8. There are some things I don't like. The keyboard is congested. Bixby is good at best. Overall I have no regrets.
I have the note 3 and it still great and coves all my needs . That said seeing the 8 in action makes it very desirable. Price point just kills me I can get a 65 in BIG screen 4k tv , a killer laptop or tablet , Mavic pro , awesome lens for my camera, 2 video gimbles and the list goes on and on. Nonetheless if I had a disposable income this particular phone would most certainly be my choice. Love your Vlogs / reviews / sense of humor . Really great stuff !
Richie Cunningham note 3!!!!! Bro I just upgraded from my note 5 and I'm blown away by the note 8.
Richie Cunningham o
Richie Cunningham big screen tv is nice. I have a 55 inch curved samsung SUHD tv for 1200 but the note 8 is good as well with a 1440p super amoled PANEL so it is great for media, video stabilization is a non issue as OIS is buttery smooth. The only thing is yeah you can get a decent laptop for this price but a really nice laptop still costs a lot more than that. I'd say I don't regret my note 8 at all
Richie Cunningham good man. So many other things you can buy for that amount of money that will be more useful. Not to mention a new phone comes out every year so technically it be outdated next year this time.
Richie Cunningham I had the Note3 until now and the Note8 is awesome. I won't miss my Note3.
Best review allowed me to actually check what note 8 is capable of not just the mere spec comparision .......
And about note 8 , I am just gonna buy it once price falls in 6 months great phone.........switching from iPhone 6s Plus
I had the iPhone 5 the only thing I like was facetime and iMessage and the camera is always good but I got the note 4 it changed best phone ever! Expandable memory, changeable battery, customize with widgets, the display everything looks vibrant and HD, the third party apps such as showbox, emulators and the list goes on! But iPhone is good for business which I use for my job but I'm getting the note 8 after work! My first upgrade in years because I was so happy with the note 4 but it's time!
I use the Not 8 for business as well, you will not be disappointed and the battery last longer then you the reviews are telling , all you need to do in order to increase your battery life is optimize the phone and it will turn off battery draining apps.
MOST HONEST AND REALEST review ever from an iphone user, i'm in apple ecosystem and this video made me actually consider going BACK to Samsung 🤔🤔🤭
best comparison review hands down !!!!!
Thumbs up for pointing out people whining about touching the lens
All the hate of the placement was with the s8 and s8+ ...the fingerprint sensor was right next to the camera lens. It has been corrected with the Note 8.
...with that said, I still hate the placement of the fingerprint sensor on the Note 8, however I love the iris feature and would still use it over the fingerprint even if it were in a better position.
@iphonedo , you can change the typing cursor position by moving around your finger on the space bar.
For scrolling to the top with a single button, there is a button on the bottom middle of the page and it pops up when u scroll down the page
Wow, I have been using smart phones since Winmo 5, and I never knew this, kudos!
Jstevensdk7 the browser thing, is only with Samsung's internet browser, not chrome
@thatgamer , thank you for the info
Liandy I never knew about the swiping spacebar to move the cursor thanks!!
Never once that i never laugh at your review. Very informative and funny. keep it up man #iphonedomakeyoulaugh
Note 8 is a very impressive device. It does different things to my 6S Plus with its brilliant menu cards.
Love Note 8 for quick note taking ability and way you can pair apps. Apple Plus series should have a stylus for extra versatility. But it doesn't, so I had 2 get a Note.
17:50 to scroll all the way up on android phone, just touch the 'back' button once.
Do you still like the note 8 after a few weeks of using it? I am also an iPhone user for years.
Best video on youtube of note 8 review - best youtuber on earth :) thanks brother
This made my day! Thank you so much!
iPhonedo Hi! Great video, first one I see from your channel. I have 1 question: in Note 8, as well as S8, you can change the screen resolution from the settings, and they are by default at Full HD+, did you change it to QHD when doing the zoom in on the screen? Also, you can activate the Swype to control cursor in the keyboard settings. Keep doing excellent videos!
Hello Jaime, Thank you very much for your kind words. On Note 8 the screen is set to WQHD+ 2960x1440.
+iphenedo voice mail you go to phone and top right there's setting, it's in there...moving cursor, you have to go to keyboard setting and you can choose swipe or moving cursor.....or just download google keyboard and you can use swipe also space bar and cursor mover at the sametime
I absolutely love your videos... in-depth, entertaining! keep it up! Just want more...
I have been using iphone from 3gs to 7 ... i have just turn it into Note 8 for a week ... i definitely have to say, Note 8 is flawless and superb in most aspects, except gaming and quality of apps in playstore... I love Note 8 and you have to experience it by yourself.
As and old Iphone user I now have the Samsung 8 and its AMAZING. Perfect size and everything is so good. Screen, camera, functions. The only thing I am not a big fan of is Bixby-but then again I never likes Siri either.
DP ie and now siri too have a dedicated button lol
As someone who is a veteran of Android and Galaxy devices I've forgotten how awesome the experience is.
Watching him discover and explore how robust and powerful the Android/Galaxy platform is reminds me of why I fell for these devices to begin with.
I must admit that buying a $900 phone gave me quite a bit of buyers remorse but every day spent with this phone lessens that remorse significantly. Can't see myself upgrading for several years, but when I do it will be a Note device.
Really happy with my S7 Edge. No need for a S8 and less for a Note 8. Nice review, though, iPhonedo! Thanks! And cheers from Argentina!
Gaston G. Loperena Same s6 edge
That´s it! Totally agree!
Same with S6 Edge haha Great review and cheers from Brazil!
Great Gabriel!!!! Yes! "Old" Samsungs are still up to date!!! Cheers from Argentina!!! Boa tarde!!!
Gaston G. Loperena if you are calling an S6 as an old phone what will you call for S3 because Im still an S3 owner.And thats not because I dont have money its because It still can do my requests.
NOTE 8 user-friendly. Accept it!
*Really* appreciate this video, thanks.
Keyboard cursor- use Gboard. With it you can move cursor by: touch-hold-slide left or right and cursor moves a bit left or right after you enable that feature in Gboard settings
The best video ever. Please do the video, how you have build an ecosystem ( what kind of ecosystem) and what kind of productivity you do with iPhone which you can't do with Samsung. Let me tell you I have been using iPhone from the last 8 years and I am happy about it but now I am thinking of to make change. Thanks.
I was a blind iphone user
Thank god not anymore !
Zzz Zzz you change to Note 8?
Many people are... cos we literally grew with it and got accustomed to.. but in this revolving era, progression is key. And iphone is a retired champion, while samsung continues to amaze us with its potential.
"Tim... Come here" 😂😂😂👌
IPhone 6s to pixel 2 xl or note 8 what are your opinion on both because I’m having trouble picking one of them
Amé este vídeo. Toda mi vida he usado Android y solo hasta hace 6 meses inicié a usar iOS, fue muy interesante ver como se asombraba por cosas tan elementales que Android usa desde siempre.
"this is... very good looking person looking through the glass" got me
Bixby is best used to control your phone hands free.
angelo harrison but you have to press the button to activate it so...
Dallas Cowboys no Im pretty sure you just Bixby and it opens.
Bixby can do so much more than he showed on this review.
Google assistant.... and it's not close.
Dallas Cowboys It opens with Hi Bixby also
when you scroll down in Samsung apps there is an arrow at the bottom which allows to go straight to the top, just slow down your scrolling for a moment
in the keyboard settings you can set swiping to either work for swipe-entry or for cursor control
Hey Iphondo do you do the "king Juliian" voice overs in Madagascar????
Use the pen to select text bro
This is what happens when an "Apple Only" user tries something better! Hehehe welcome to the world of Android where power users are!! :)
Note 8 is the best phone I've ever owned.
Yıllar önce Samsung Appledan iyi bir telefon çıkarırsa incelerim demiştin iPhonedo beyciğim. Kanalda bir tarih yazılıyor şuan 😂
Samsung Galaxy Note Fan forever
Welcome to the wonderful world of Android.
But the question is, after several months of use and release of the new version of the phone Samsonk S 9 Plus What is your opinion in these three devices ?? What is the best iPhone Omnut 8 MSN 9 Plus
Did he mention Fast Charging? Coz iphone X requires an additional 90$ for the cable and adaptor lol
Making a total of 1250$ish for a 256gb iphone X haha scam apple!
As an iphone user from last 5 years
Should i go for note 8 or wait till iphone x
Plz suggest so confused
does iOS have a back button, or quick switch between apps. i find those really useful.
Bob Fox no back button but its much easier to switch apps or. Multitask
Apple did add a “back” feature to the top left of the screen.
moxiemoney and no home button
moxiemoney no fingerprint sensor
True, no home button but it’s simply replaced with a swipe up gesture which in my limited time playing with the demo phones is actually pretty nice.
Note 8 still has the EXPLODE or the BURN feature?
This is really funny man, enjoyed watching it. Definitely why I. Switched from being a hard core iPhone guy to a Samsung man. If only Apple could take a look at the convenience and ease you found they could really get back to what they were. Keep up the good work, once you go Android you can't go back.
As an iPhone user looking to move to note:
1. Are backups on phone done daily and automatically? Ie. If I lose my Samsung note phone, can I go to the store pick a new note phone and have it look identical to my old phone with all the photos in the albums, all my contacts and text messages?
2. If I enter a contact on my phone, will it show up right away on my computer? As on the iPhone with Mac?
3. If I take a photo on my phone, can I see it that night on my computer without doing anything?
These are my main concerns witg switching to Samsung. Any information, please share.
kalhaai *Yup.*
*Google backs up your contacts,apps etc. Don't worry. Contacts added on the phone will be stored by Google. Photos are stored at Google cloud services, so no problems there either.*
*Android isn't stone age, it has the same features as iPhones, and more. ;)*
I love my Note 8!!
Have you set the display to Quad HD?? Because when you get note 8 the display set to default Full HD+, that why when zoom in the 40 megapixel photo still look same
Note 8 is the best phone on the market overall in my personal opinion.
This was an extremely fair and balanced look at the differences between iOS and Android. Your praises and complaints are valid on both sides
The battery life is kinda wierd. Android phones last longer than iPhones if you use your phone a lot. Android uses more power sitting in your pocket, but in use Android uses less and has a larger battery.
Did you use the phone outdoors? The brightness is way higher, so of course it'll drain battery faster.
Note 8 all the way friend do more
19:50 I think something strange happened with your battery if it drained that fast. I've found that mine lasts longer than I expected, more than my previous phones. And it charges faster too.
My Note 4 it's still all that I need from a phone.
Daniel Avram I just upgraded to the Note 8 from my Note 4. I love it
Daniel Avram lol iPhone 5s does better than Note 4.
MineatomTR GÖNÜLLÜLER I really don't care.
That battery error though. I just moved to iPhone X from that phone. Factory replaced battery and still inaccurate battery percentage and followed battery learning. Never been happier
So note 8 battery drains out quickly ?
If that's true then I don't like using it
Note 8 won
You can select text easier than on iPhone. . you hold until the word is selected and you actually get a pop-up menu that gives you options of selecting a work or selecting all. It doesn't have to be done in one touch. . .practice it. You'll love it.
Jay West You do realise that you can select text on an iPhone in exactly the same way
Not quite "exactly" the same way. . .that's why I used the word "easier". . .it's "similar" but the options are much better including, giving you access to a clipboard so you can paste things that you've copied to the clipboard days or even weeks ago. Also my comment was in direct response of the poster not knowing how to do it. It's not about being competitive. . but it is about letting him know that it can be done. . he just didn't know.
Great Review iPhonedo! Just Great!

Samsung galaxy note 8 is really better than iphone
Just bought my note 8 and loving it. Samsung is a better phone than iphone. I have all apple products at home which is why I was using iPhone but Samsung in many areas are better than iPhone. Note 8 is the most powerful phone in the market
The iris scanner won't work with sunglasses because it needs to see your eyes
TheMetalmachine467 doesn't work on us asians as well because they are always closed
Not true! Do it all the time on my s8+
Amen to that! Iris scanner works when your eyes are open Mr Iphonedo
Note 8 fit fine in the osmo mobile?
That battery life doesn't sound right at AAALLL
Alvin Ameyaw no it doesn't my battery life is pretty damn good for a 6.3" 2k display. Quite enjoyable actually.
Out of the box there are a ton of features enabled that suck battery pretty good. With a bit of tweaking I get better battery life with my s8+ than I did with my iPhone 6S plus
Yea I know everyone I know can go about 2 days with light usage on the Note and a solid full day with heavy usage!
Fast charging though. 1 hour = 79% charge
The battery is great have had it about four days light use full charge from 5% twice in those 4 days...
Did you find the visual voicemail yet? It comes with the note 8
You can scroll faster with the bar in the side
I’m having a hard time picking between iPhone X and Note 8. I have a iPhone now but I used to have the S7 loved it but since the wife has a iPhone some texts wouldn’t go through and pictures and videos were blurry. Some times I wouldn’t receive calls as well. I think if it weren’t for that I wouldn’t have a problem buying the note right now. Has anyone else had these problems?
