The editors didn't like
Worse battery life than the competition
Smooth plastic back is harder to hold on to than the Nexus 7 or iPad mini
No NFC or cellular
At least in the US as of this writing
Tablet camera is tablet camera
High price point – although I myself can justify spending the extra cash for the features
Many people disagree given the plastic design of the device and the smallish size of the device
The speakers should have been placed somewhere other than the botto
SoC throttles under load
Extended warranty does not apply to liquid damage
Weak GPS performance
Speaker should be better
Fingerprint is not optimally placed
Expensive. Battery life isn't great. Poor cameras
Can be tough to use one-handed
Plastics are underwhelming
WatchON app incomplete
Expensive
Confusing bloatware
Mediocre battery life
Relatively pricey
Awkward size
S Pen a tad unresponsive
MicroSD slot is hidden under the battery
The usual Samsung plastic construction
Average display resolution
Stylus time-consuming to master
No dedicated HDMI or USB ports
Short battery life
Lackluster speakers
Slow camera
Pricier than iPad mini
Lack of connectivity options
The screen is small for the size of the tablet
Very expensive compared to alternatives
Poor camera quality
Screen isn't great
Poor design
Samsung's Touchwiz user interface can be overpowering
Made mostly of cheap feeling plastic
The display is low-res and noticeably pixelated
Speakers are easily covered up
Mediocre camera and video quality
There is still a content gap
Albeit closing
For Android tablets
Samsung software is overbearing
Weak
Poor speakers
Display resolution is quickly becoming obsolete
The pen input is the star of the show. The Wacom digitiser stylus lives in a housing on the edge of the chassis. It's pressure sensitive
So that while ordinary handwriting recognition is possible (and works well)
Fast and zippy performance, Some genuinely useful software features, S Pen works well
Below average battery life, Slippery, plastic build, Too expensive
The Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 is a handy tablet with some nice software features but it's let down by a slippery, plastic build and an expensive price tag. Unless you desperately need the S Pen, buy a Google Nexus 7...
Intuitive and fluid OS, Good keyboard, Great for watching media, Lightning fast browser
No flash player, Browser zoom and reflow needs work, IR Blaster range poor
Samsung has created a very worthy device here. The Note 8.0 may not be able to put 'phone' or 'tablet' solely on its birth certificate (remember, the cellular version will allow calls), but in using the Wi-Fi model under the tablet moniker, we can see Sam...

Maybe. The main issue is that it's quite expensive for a fairly average device.In Australia the Galaxy Note 8.0 costs $459 for the 16GB, Wi-Fi-only model. That's $90 more expensive than the equivalent iPad mini and a whopping $210 more than the Nexus 7, b...

The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is comfortable to hold and has the bestlooking small tablet screen yet. Writing with the S Pen feels natural and is preferred over typing on a tablet screen. Storage can be expanded via microSD, and the Watch On feature has poten
The $399 price is a lot for a small tablet, no matter its features. It's not as thin or as light as the iPad Mini, and some people won't appreciate the highly saturated look of the OS. Also, its face buttons sometimes get in the way and there are occasion
The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is a stunning tablet with a truly useful stylus, but it's not worth $400 unless you're an artist or prefer pen input....
Abstract: It may have already been announced by Samsung's global head of mobile last month then revealed in multiple sets of leaked images but the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 is now officially official. Samsung's latest Android tablet boasts an 8in screen, includes a W...

Measuring up at 210.8 x 135.9 x 7.95 mm (h,w,d) with an 8” screen, about the size of A5 piece of paper, it large enough for viewing videos, ebooks, web pages but small enough for travel, Lightweight at 340 grams, the weight is also eventually distributed
WiFi only, although this a small issue if you have a smartphone that can tether, Bezel seems a little bit larger than needs to be, although it is in proportion when compared to the Galaxy Note II, Menu and back buttons are quite close to the Home button a
Display performance, Plenty of power, Waterproofing, Software refinement, So many clever options and customisations, Camera performance is excellent, S Pen's expanding skills
Battery life isn't class leading, The price is high, Fingerprint scanner placement needs a rethink, Galaxy S8+ a serious consideration if S Pen doesn't appeal, Bixby
There's no doubt that the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is one of the best phones of 2017. It takes everything that the Galaxy S8+ offers and pushes it a little further. This is bigger, a touch more powerful, packs in more camera and adds the S Pen, as well as of...
Abstract: One of the biggest launches of MWC was the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 – and we mean that literally, at least if you're counting Sammy's latest Android device as a smartphone.And why wouldn't you? After all, it does pack in telephone call features.However...
Not a Full HD screen, So-so video performance, High price, Old version of Android
The Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 showed promise when it was released, but its weaknesses are easily exposed by newer rivals – even more so when you consider its price is among the highest of tablets this size.It serves as a stark reminder of just how fast tech...
