The numero uno manufacturer has been offering two separate flagship lineups annually – the Galaxy S series and the Note range. While the devices are targeted at different consumer segments, the latest Note8 is eerily similar to the S8 duo (more so with th...

Last year's Samsung Galaxy Note7 can only be described as a disaster. Days after launch, it was found that the handset caught fire, and after a recall, even the replacement units exploded. Eventually, software updates were released that rendered the dev...
Ultimately, the Samsung Galaxy Note8 is an excellent device, but considering the $930 price tag, should you buy it? The answer is pretty simple; if you want the S Pen, then it's a hard yes.I expressed some dissatisfaction with the design of the handset, t...

I'd contemplated before that it's possible I don't need root any more beyond wanting to play with a very few apps that come along. With the HTC 10 I'd gotten ticked off at the bloatware by day three and rooted it to remove it. However it turned out that y...

We loved last year's Samsung Galaxy Note7 and were sad to return it to Samsung before we could complete our review. We are glad to see it return as the Galaxy Note FE, but if you are one of those who were impressed by the Note7, you will be even more imp...
The Samsung Galaxy Note8 is truly in a class of its own. It is the only phablet in the world with an electromagnetic stylus, an Infinity Display and a dual-lens camera. Nothing else, not even the new Apple iPhone 8 Plus, is in the same league. It builds u...

Like the Galaxy S8 and S8+, the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is the Swiss Army knife of Android phones, but it's not quite perfect. Fingerprint sensor is still awful, the phone is oversized, software is clunky, but no smartphone is perfect.The Note 8 quells some...

Six-point-three; 3300; 195; twelve. Samsung's new Galaxy Note 8 is awash in numbers… but there's only one that really matters: $105. That's how many more clams you'll shell out at the register if you choose the Galaxy Note 8 over its close cousin, the Ga...

Reviewing the Galaxy Note 8 feels a lot like deja vu. The new flagship phablet looks so much like Samsung's Galaxy S8+ from earlier this year that the two could be mistaken for each other from afar, or even up close. The same can be said of the last three...

Smartphone makers have spoken, and bezels are out. All five of these flagship phones feature minimal bezels, though in the case of the Pixel 2XL, they're still pretty noticeable. The other four phones offer edge-to-edge displays, with the iPhone X includi...
Add it all up, and Samsung's phones remain a cut above, sharing top honors for design and display. The Galaxy S8+ gets the nod over the Note 8, because it's a little less expensive and you're more likely to find a deal on this slightly older phone. Even i...

Before I dive into all things Galaxy Note 8 review, let's get this out of the way. Last year, with the Galaxy Note 7 recall, things were bad. To this date, I don't think we've seen something quite like it in smartphones, and to happen to such a big player...
