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
Abstract: 2018년 가을에 접어든 이제 와서 왜 굳이 갤럭시 노트8에 대한 이야기를 꺼내냐고 고개를 갸웃거리는 분들이 적지 않을 것 같습니다. 하지만 그럴 이유가 있습니다. 바로 지난달 있었던 소프트웨어 업데이트 때문이죠.그동안 인터넷을 통해 갤럭시 S9/노트9에 추가되었던 슈퍼슬로우모션과 AR 이모지가 갤럭시S8과 노트8에도 추가된다는 소문이 해외에서 돌고 있었습니다. 과연 국내에서도 해줄 것이냐가 관건이었죠. 가능성은 높았으니까 말이죠...
Abstract: 갤럭시 노트8의 공식적인 전작인 갤럭시 노트5와 비교하면 참으로 많은 부분이 바뀌었지만 실질적인 전작인 갤럭시 노트7 또는 갤럭시 노트 FE와 비교하여 가장 크게 바뀐 점을 꼽으라면 화면이 인피니티 디스플레이로 바뀌었다는 점과 후면 카메라를 두개 가졌다는 점일 겁니다.왜 2개인가?갤럭시 노트8이 나오기 전까지만 해도 갤럭시 플래그십 모델들은 모두 후면 카메라가 하나 였습니다. 애플, LG, 화웨이 등이 모두 두개 이상의 카메라를 후면에 품은데 비해 삼성...
Abstract: 갤럭시 노트8 올림픽 에디션 한정판, 에디션의 제왕인 삼성이 곧 개최될 2018 평창 동계 올림픽을 앞두고 가만히 있을 리가 없겠죠. 이번에는 평창 올림픽을 기념하는 갤럭시 노트8 올림픽 에디션을 공개했는데요, 이번 갤럭시 노트8 올림픽 에디션은 기존 한정판들과는 약간 다르게 일반 판매는 진행되지 않으며 올림픽 참가 선수단과 관계자 전원에게만 제공된다고 합니다. 기존처럼 공식 홈페이지를 통해 한정 수량이 판매되는 방식이 아니기 때문에 아마도 일반 사...
Abstract: 삼성전자의 갤럭시 노트8은 현 시점에서 삼성 스마트폰의 가장 최신 플래그십 모델입니다. 그런 만큼 모든 면에서 삼성 스마트폰의 기술력을 상장히는 제품이죠.많은 이들이 갤럭시 노트8을 화면, 성능, 발열, S펜, UX 등 다양한 관점에서 평가하고 있으며 이는 안드로이드 최강의 플래그십이라는 기준에 그리 모자라지 않는 모습을 보여왔습니다. 그런데 오디오 쪽은 어떨까요? 지금부터 살펴보겠습니다.오디오 DAC: CS47L93DAC에 대해서 이제는 적지 않은...
Abstract: 아이폰X 갤럭시노트8 아이폰8플러스 카메라 비교 해외에선 이상하리만큼 아이폰X 카메라가 높은 점수를 받고 있습니다. 새로운 아이폰이 출시되면 일단 카메라 부분에선 상당히 낮은 점수를 기본으로 깔고 가면서 항상 붙어있던 말은 "전작보단 조금 좋아졌다."인데요, 그런 아이폰이 이번에는 조금 다른 평입니다. 물론 100% 신뢰하고 해외 언론의 말이 다 맞다라고는 할 순 없지만, 한 곳이 아닌 여러 곳에서의 좋은 평가가 있었기 때문에 은근히 기대를 해봤는데...
