That telephoto lens is a fantastic addition to the Note, producing detail-rich images with very little noise compression or artefacting. It isn’t quite as good as the wide-angle lens next to it, but it’s a significant improvement over the OnePlus 5’s telephoto snapper, which tended to produce inconsistent, irregularly detailed shots in lower light. Samsung Galaxy Note 8 review: Performance and battery life And, because this is an AMOLED panel, contrast levels are unbeatable, at a perfect Infinity:1, and maximum brightness reaches a respectable 330cd/m2. Switch on adaptive brightness, and that figure creeps up to a blinding 981cd/m2. No more squinting at your Facebook feed in direct sunlight. What’s improved – slightly? The offset fingerprint sensor and center-aligned camera are a few milimeters further away from each other. Samsung wisely moved the flash and heart rate monitor in between the sensor (which requires your fingerprints) and the camera (which always gets fingerprint smudges all over it). That built-in heart rate monitor you forget still existed on Samsung phones now serves a purpose again. Camera testing company DxOMark gave the Note 8 a rating of 94, the joint-highest score of any phone, shared with the iPhone 8 Plus. [21] [22] Just a few days after the report of the Note 8 published was, the Pixel 2 was tested and given a 98 score, besting them both. [23] [24] It was noted that the Note 8 had better optical image stabilization than the IPhone X. [25] Stretching your fingers is well worth if you can physically manage it. Its expansive 6.3-inch display – now without a physical home button – has an unheard-of 83% screen-to-body ratio. The iPhones have a 67% screen-to-body ratio for comparison. That's a lot less screen for such big phones, at least until iPhone 8 arrives to change everything.
Whether these differences will be enough to tempt would-be buyer’s who’ve resisted the S8 depends on what you desire out of a phone and if you can handle the higher price of the Note 8.As one might expect for two phones of dramatically different sizes, battery size differs between them. The S8 contains a 3,000mAh cell – a fairly generous amount for its small size. However, the Note 8 is honestly not much bigger at just 3,300mAh. The Note 8 was praised by both consumers and critics for the "Infinity Display" (meaning the display has much smaller bezels than the traditional smartphone), for its "punchy colors" and brightness, which is approximately 1200 nits. The smaller manufacturing process also typically means improved power efficiency, so we should have expected to see the 3,300mAh battery last a decent bout longer than its competitors. If Samsung’s previous launches were anything to go by, I certainly didn’t expect to see battery life cut. The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Charges at Mostly 15W with the Samsung 25W USB-C Fast Charging Wall Charger". GTrusted. 8 December 2017. Comparing the weight of the two has the Note 8 obviously weighing more at 195 grams versus the S8's 155 grams. However, despite its heftier size the new Samsung device doesn't feel overly weighty.

Lit up, the all-screen Note 8 feels like we’re carrying around a piece of light when we’re out and about.It's much better than the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL display, Google's biggest weakness. Of course, it's not quite a match for the Samsung Galaxy Note 9, but given its lower price it doesn't have to be. a b c Siddiqui, Aamir (23 August 2017). "A Look at the Galaxy Note 8's New & Improved Software Features". XDA Developers . Retrieved 5 December 2017. Why buy this instead of the 6.2-inch Galaxy S9 Plus? The extra tenth of an inch of screen is insignificant and doesn’t matter, but Note fans adore the S Pen stylus functionality and its more square shape. Over the S8 Plus, the Note 8 also benefits power users with 6GB or RAM and a superior dual-lens camera, both features passed on to the S9 Plus.Over on its front, the selfie camera of the Note 8 is unchanged from the S8. You'll still get the same 8MP f/1.7 performance, which is among the industry's best in terms of spec and the results speak for themselves. In the United States, it is sold with 64GB of internal storage, along with microSD card support, but increases storage to 128GB and 256GB internationally. [5] [8] Biometrics [ edit ] Graphics performance, as you can expect, is exemplary. The Note 8 breezed past the GFXBench Manhattan 3.0 test, scoring a 42fps average at native resolution, and 64fps offscreen at 1080p. This’ll run any Android game you throw at it, no question. Case in point: after putting the Note 8 to the test with our X-Rite colour calibrator, we found it covers 98.2% of the sRGB colour gamut space. With an average delta E of 1.49 (anything less than 1.5 is preferred), the Note 8 produces wholly accurate colours across the board, even if images are a tad overexposed.
