The editors didn't like
Bixby is still slow
$930-950 price tag
The secondary telephoto lens is a little disappointing
And the live photo bokeh effect is hardly a gamechanger. I just don't think Samsung's made the case for a dual camera setup here
The Note8 is ludicrously expensive
At $930 unlocked in the US. There
Expensive
Tall
Sticks out of pockets
Samsung Pay might be problematic at Walmart (need to try it again)
Face scan has gotten slightly slower
Bixby voice assistant isn't ready for prime time
Construction which retains fingerprints
The most expensive Galaxy Note model
Not protective enough for major falls on rocks or concrete — so don't hurl your phone or do anything too crazy
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 occas...
Mediocre screen resolution
Plastic build won't appeal to all
Ergonomics of using as a phone questionable
Too tall for single-hand use
Average battery life
Photos by Raj Rout
Software experience is convoluted and buggy
Performance stutters/inconsistent
Fingerprint sensor placement and performance (slow
Inaccurate)
Old fast charging tech doesn't charge while screen is on
Bixby is lame and you still can't remap the hardware
Software can be overwhelming
Battery life not good enough for the size
Fingerprint sensor is tough to reach
Doesn't offer the same value as the Galaxy S9+
Too big to work with current Gear VR headset
Prohibitively expensive
Fingerprint magnet
Trailed The S8 And More Z2 Force In Some Tests
Awkward Placement Of Fingerprint Sensor
Fairly Large
Bixby button and fingerprint sensor are a nuisance
It might be a bit too big and heavy for some users
Fingerprint sensor location
Price
Tall hardware makes reaching certain spots difficult
Battery life is sufficient
But not outstanding
Wideangle camera really not that wide
Screen brightness could use a tiny kick
Prodigious price
Fingerprint scanner is awkwardly-placed
Bixby button is annoying
Awkward placement of fingerprint sensor
A couple of early bugs
Very pricey
Most expensive Galaxy Note to date
Phone is very tall
Fingerprint sensor still awkwardly located
Speaker isn't very good
Price may be too high for many
Bixby needs work
Fingerprint sensor placement is just wrong
Very expensive
Bixby can be flaky
Not a huge improvement over the S8 Plus
US version gets less storage than other regions
No autofocus tracking capability in default mode
Shadow and highlight clipping in high-contrast scenes
Residual motion visible when holding the camera still during recording

Display extrem hell, scharf, Display sehr hoher Kontrast / HDR, Schmaler Rahmen, Bildschirmstift, Wasserdicht, Starke Kamera bei wenig Licht, Iris-Scan
Unhandlich, Fingerabdrucksensor umständlich zu erreichen, Oberfläche teils überladen
Mit überragendem Display, Top-Ausstattung, passablem Akku und einer bei wenig Licht überraschend guten Kamera gehört das Galaxy Note 8 ganz zu den besten Smartphones überhaupt. Die Größe aber ist Geschmackssache: Mit 16 Zentimetern Länge sprengt das Note...
