The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is somewhat taller and heavier than the S8+, but it simply feels more robust and well-made in the hand. The 6.3-inch Quad HD+ display looks great and has a lot of contrast. The S-Pen is now IP68 certified and features a finer tip. With Bixby Vision, you can make hand-drawn GIFs, translate words, and search the web. The Exynos 9 Octa SoC and 6GB of RAM make this phone extremely powerful. The two back cameras are a business first, and they enable features like Live Focus, which creates a nice bokeh effect behind your subject. Both in daylight and at night, the primary sensor provides outstanding detail. We struggled to get a full day’s worth of use out of each full charge because the battery life could have been greater.
