Samsung Galaxy Note 8

The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is an Android-based phablet developed, produced and marketed by Samsung Electronics. The successor to the discontinued Galaxy Note 7, the refurbished Galaxy Note FE, the Galaxy Note 5, and the Galaxy Note 4, it was unveiled on 23 August 2017 and became available on 15 September 2017.

The Note 8 improves on the core device specifications and hallmark S-Pen features of earlier devices. While retaining the same overall look and approximate size of the Galaxy S8+, it features an upgraded processor and, for the first time in Samsung's smartphone history, a dual-camera system on the rear of the device; one functions as a wide-angle lens and the other as a telephoto lens, with both featuring 12 MP resolution and optical image stabilization. The S-Pen has increased pressure sensitivity levels and its software has been upgraded to offer improved note-taking capabilities on the always-on display, as well as animated GIF and improved translation features.

On 20 July 2017, Samsung tweeted a teaser video showing a darkened device with a stylus, stating the date of its next “Unpacked” event as 23 August 2017. The Galaxy Note 8 was unveiled at that event, with a release date on 15 September 2017. Galaxy Note 7 owners could buy this phablet at a special discount of $524, as a result of the recall of the earlier.

The Note 8 is powered by an Exynos 8895 or Snapdragon 835 processor, depending on geographic region, along with 6 GB of RAM.

The Galaxy Note 8 is equipped with a non-user-replaceable 3300 mAh battery with up to 15 W using Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0.

The Note 8 has a 6.3-inch 1440p Super AMOLED display with curved edges similar to the Galaxy S8, but with a slightly more flat and boxy surface area. Samsung marketed it as an “Infinity Display”.

It is Samsung's first phone to feature a dual-lens camera system, which comes with a 12 MP wide-angle lens with f/1.7 aperture and a 12 MP telephoto lens with f/2.4 aperture and twice the focal length, both equipped with optical image stabilization.

Like the predecessor, it supports video recording with 2160p (4K) at 30 frames per second (limited to 10 minutes each video), 1080p (Full HD) at up to 60 frames per second and 720p (HD) slow motion at up to 240 frames per second.
