Dude, your production value is insane. You can tell that you really take into account the backgrounds and camera movement etc. Sound quality and image quality are really impressive on my 5k iMac. Congrats on your success!
I'm using a Galaxy S7 Edge. The performance of my phone is rubbish. It lags like crazy even when doing simple basic tasks. Thinking to get a Galaxy Note 8. So my question is how's the performance of Note 8 now in January of 2021?
@@shekharswarnakar5592 When you wait as long as you/we do to upgrade a phone, it's best to get the newest best thing out at the time so you can have a good experience for a long time. My Note 8 is still performing great and never lags, I even sometimes have like 30+ windows open in Google with no issue. But the phone is almost 4 years old, it's time is unfortunately coming.
Had a note 7, was the best ever. Downgraded to a note 5 for a year. And now have the note 8, simply amazing phone. Best phone on the market hands down.
Apologies (typo) I was in a similar situation and had to go all the way back to my "Note"2. Hence why the thought of that made me SMH. Loving my Note 8.
Oscar Hernandez I use my phone regularly through out the day at work. When I come home after a 9 hour shift my phone is still around 38-44%.. I have no issue what so ever with the battery life
C4ETech ignored..? Take it seriously and make your own way which maybe different from others, well for that you have to use your own God gifted thing called brain.
I love how you presented the device, and I like how you categorized the phone, like honestly the whole *system* in your video was amazing to watch! I wish youtube could give you a feedback on your videos, just like how they used to do. because I can see allot of effort you put in. Great work mate!
I have really big hands so when someone says: "You can't use the fingerprint scanner with one hand" I say: -Hold my beer- Watch me use it while holding a beer...
E drop I don't even have big hands and I can reach it with ease. I'm beginning to think that most reviewers have hands the of six year old children. Lol
I remember when this was my dream phone because of the drawing ability. Just a quick question, does anyone use this to draw artwork? or do you just take notes?
UltimateArtistT when I had my note 4 I used to just doodle on it. I loved having the pen and different brushes and colors. It was all good until it accidentally went through a cycle in the washer.
I used to have an Note 4 for short animations and quick sketches. Note styluses don't have very high pressure sensitivity, but has quick responsive rate to make up for the loss. The only major issue I had with the phone was it can't handle extensive sessions with drawing/animation. This became the main cause of toasting the Note's motherboard. App recommendations: Autodesk sketchbook [Art] Medibang [Art] Piscart animator (Formerly Animator) [Animation]
Note 5 was good, don't think they made a note 6 and i never got the 7 but i would just take notes on it, but if you are skilled enough you can make some cool shit
Sure I use it to draw all the time. It has the potential to be a serious tool for artists if they add good pressure sensitivity which it does not have currently.
It's De-Brand. Skinning your phone makes it De-Branded hiding the company logos etc. DBrand is a fancy name of De-Brand which a company named itself for making De-Branding skins
It's not that big of a deal, honestly. Putting a dbrand skin on a phone doesn't make it any better than it really is. In my honest opinion, the skins look really nice, but if the phone is bad I don't see why the reviewer would lie to anyone if they were only sponsored by dbrand.
Mike Hawk I mean I have super small hands and the fingerprint sensor is in such a natural position for me, when I hold the phone my finger goes right there
shadowpool I'd say it's in a bad place but looks great in where it's located. Such a professional look. Better than having it in the middle of the back for sure

My battery in my note 8 is a thousand times better than what my note 5 was. And the back fingerprint scanner is more natural to me because that's where my finger be when I pick it up.
I'm trying to convince my friend to move to a Note phone from an iPhone. I have her using my old Note 5 and the biggest complaint she had was the battery life. Got the Note 8 today so will be trying it out to see how much life I can get out of it.
So it's either spend $1000 on a note 8 or iPhone X. I used to be a android user but now I'm apple user but if I were to spend $1000 on a phone I'd get the note 8 so I can get most use out of it.
I'm waiting for the iPhone X because I'm hardwired into the Apple Ecosystem, but if I were an Android user I'd either get the S8+ or wait to see what the Pixel 2 turns out to be. Note 8 isn't worth the price bump from the S8+, and even at the same price I still might choose the S8+ for the battery life alone.
brown bobby it depends on what phone you have currently. It they had named it 7S people would consider it a major upgrade, but since they switched the number, the expectations are high for how much should change, and it doesn't meet those expectations. It is a pretty major S upgrade though. Wireless charging, tru-tone display, 4k 60fps recording, enhanced portrait mode, durability improvements, A11 bionic. Basically the only things the X has that the 8 doesn't are the new display, dual OIS, Face ID, and front facing portrait mode. That's worth the extra $300 to me but maybe not to everyone else.
I know me either. I believe a lot of people just need every single app to notify them. Some people are on FB all day and still need it to notify them on everything like they are customer support center for their friends! I turned most things off because notifications create a false sense of urgency on the mind. My phone lasts the whole day and I text, browse the web, listen to music, etc...at work. I just have my financial accounts, text voicemail, and messages notify me. Everything else I check when I get good and ready.
These prices are getting silly. All people do is chat over whattsapp, make a few shots with the camera, watch youtube etc. wtf do they need a 1.000 € smartphone??
1. No. not €1000, $1000. it makes a difference. 2. so you're basically just assuming everyone does what you see other people that are specifically near you do.
Got this phone on day 1. Have been using it for college. It performs the same if not better than my iPhone 7+ (battery-wise). Maybe in pure raw screen-on time it lacks in battery life, but I have the resolution maxed (although not the brightness) and play games in my time between classes. So mileage may vary. Also I must note (haha) that most applications I use have their background set to black (including my keyboard background), thus the amoled display eats less power. the stylus is priceless to jot down quick stuff before class ends when the teacher goes "oh and by the way pop quiz tomorrow" or something similar.
Zender Zagato, I've been using my note 4 for note taking in college for most of my freshman year and all of my sophomore year (so far) and I prefer it much more than traditional note taking. You get to take notes directly on the lecture slides (if they're provided), so you spend less time copying and more time listening and taking important side notes. You also get the experience of writing stuff down which supposedly helps with remembering it. I think the only upgrade I could make from what I currently do is buy a Surface Pro (screen real estate and easier file transfer), but that'd be adding another expensive device I need to keep track of.
snixon I been doing that with my note 5 in some classes. I can't really tell if it's helping improve my studying, or I should continue with my normal note taking with a note book. I feel like I do listen more in class when I use my phone though.
Your reviews, presentation, and production quality is far better than any other tech reviewer or organization on RUclips, please keep up the great work!
Yes but don't believe everything he said because his reviews are designed to kill other phones. Politically speaking. He's responsible for the HTC downfall and the LG Pull out.
I have been using galaxy note8 for over two weeks now..What ever u mentioned in your video, I completely agree...it's one of the best phones in 2017 for sure...but I have to disagree on the battery here... The battery is surprisingly awesome ..it gives me whole day, everyday... I think you should use it as your daily driver..then you'll come to know.. Peace✌
I've disabled the animations and all the pretty stuff on the S8 and not only it became faster but also the battery lasted 2 or 3 more hours. Also battery shaving mode is cool
Amazing Original Videos i want to know truth about battery life pls explain me if possible i am planning to buy it at present am m using iphone 7 s plus its battery is v good but takes too much time to full charge. Pls
goodness gracious. this is the first of your videos I have watched on my laptop, and the quality of it is amazing. great job, marques. you have my favorite review videos.
watching this in 2023, I really miss the pressure-sensitive home button. That was such a cool and useful feature that I really miss on my newer device now. Looking back at things, I feel like Samsung really has regressed in some areas, and doesn't much listen to their audience these days.
Hubert SAMUT Tbh I used to love watching his reviews but they feel so rushed now, I was shocked on how she just started the video like that let alone it felt a bit empty watching his review especially cutting that background music out of the blue; Mr.Moible is much better.
Gavin Mufc lee Quite Stupid. It looks like the made the iPhone fast charge capable, but the Chargers always costed that. They are technically for macs, but it is way to overpriced and I find it stupid.
As usual great job overall, like the categories and the systematic way you present the phone. At this point I would suggest creating sub-categories and scores for example for display and performance, and have an overall score of the phone with possibly extra points for unique features like this one. Dunno just to make it easier to compare between Alf this featured and competitors imo.
*No other reviewers have put forward the review as you do* *I have a list of them in my subscription section.But I clicked only for your video.Because I knew it will be the best*
Anyone who says the Note 8 has poor battery life does not know how to properly optimize their phone. You can get 6-7hours of SOT with the Note 8 at 1440p you just need to use and properly configure Greenify and use app disabler software to disable bloat and not to mention clean the Cache Partition. Optimize your phone so you can get better battery life.
JCHGaming69 he is reviewing the phone as it comes out of the box. Of course if you tweak things, disable things, or modify things you'll get better results but that's not the point. The Note series at first was designed for the true power user with huge battery life and they've turned away from that route
So true power users are lazy and un-tech savy?LOL, I get your point, IMO I think the Note 8 should have had a 3600mah battery (Like the S7 Edge had), it would have been bigger battery than the s8 Plus and with how big the Note 8 is I think that capacity would have been plenty safe and I think battery life with that capacity out of the box would have been just fine even for power users, Despite having a 3600mah battery and being smaller than the Note 8 the S7 edge never was recalled or pulled of the shelf for the battery issues the Note 7 had and they still manufacture it with the same battery size to this day, so I doubt the Note 8 would have Note 7 esque battery issues if they went with that capacity but than again who knows.
JCHGaming69 I agree, I know Samsung wanted to stay in a "safe" margin with the battery but like you said I really think they could've squeezed a healthy 3,500/3,600mah in the phone
JCHGaming69 oneplus 5t can do much better by default. and honestly greenfiy and all that shit is a waste of time. cache partition probably doesn't impact battery life. But some small modifications can help a lot....Google wake Locks is gg
Really? I remember I had the S8 Active and when I cleared the cache partition it improve my battery quite a bit. I recently started using a indie app called Naptime which enables doze quicker than Greenify, but I still use Greenify as my app manager. With BK Disabler set to disable bloat and app services I don't use or need and using Greenify to hibernate my apps along with using Naptime as my doze app my battery life on my note has been amazing. Without using it my Note 8 drop from 100% to 99 percent in 5 hours which you can't say that for most phones.
Like the way you present the video, clear and concise Have had mine a few days without any issue other than signal strength. My old LG Vista always shows full bars at home while the note only hit 3, odd!
It does have the resolution slider like the s8 right? So if you reduce the resolution down to iphone quality, battery life would be amazing, but hey, thats just like, my opinion man.
MistPassiert 6 hours of screen on time at max resolution isnt that bad. I mean if you want more battery, swotch to 1080p and boom, almost twice the battery life.
Been having the note 8 for about a month and I love it. Don't even have to bring my backpack to class anymore, for my note 8 allows me to take notes and write on PowerPoint slides
Agreed, they skipped the 6 then had to skip the 7 yeah... which is why I still have note 4, removable battery and ir blaster. Hard to justify buying note 8 with battery life, esp. considering price. Kind of disappointing b/c I was def. Going to buy both 7 and 8 but not now because of 🔋 fail.
Just like any other mainstream tech reviewers, you failed emphasize what Note series is meant for. The s-pen with wacom digitizer and it's capabilities are very unique to any other phone, i hoped you to bring more attention to detail in that area.
Sumanth M Rao I think he gets that. If you are a hard core spen user you are already sold, no need to state the obvious. For those of us who don’t care about the spen, which is 99.9% of us then we can decide does the rest of the package add up to $1000. I think it is obviously not worth that, and no the iPhone X is also not worth $1000 either. The good news is that in a few months this will be selling for big discounts. Maybe then it will be on the radar but to be honest the next Snapdragon will be out and better phones will be out.
People would say that android sucks because they would come from a random cheap android phone and judge android in general from dat one laggy, terrible phone🤦🏾♂️
For content like this, 30 strikes a good balance. The raw footage he records already takes up a shit ton of space so doubling the framerate makes that even worse. This is probably the only time id say 30 is the better option :p
My internet and a lot of other people's internet simply can't handle 60fps. I can watch 1080p but when it comes to 60fps, I have to drop it down to 480.
Sad to see the title because of the price? or sad to see the title because you’re the type to mock iPhone X for its price then turn around and see your device be the same price? 🤔
Own Alrizqi I wouldn't know as I haven't played with the note 8 at all. But I do have the s8 plus upgraded from the store and the battery just annihalates the s6 which is fine for me.
Own Alrizqi I concur! I bought the s8 plus just to try it out within 14 days of being able to turn it in. My note 8came in before I had to turn it in and the note 8 battery is better than the s8 plus. Even with smaller battery
The audio sounds still sound premier and loud enough but in terms of battery you will need to stay only in FHD+ mode for a longer life.. but those aren't things to worry about a smartphone like this
First comment ever on one of your videos I subscribed right before this comment I want to apologize that it took a drunken state to do so phones on the 2018 front in my opinion also as someone who uses their phone 24/7 are changing in drastic ways if their all the same price so I’m always interested (btw grammar and punctuation are not my intention here) but my main point I had to subscribe to make sure I remember your name because I only like your specific reviews on things you cover everything extremely well and your pretty good at talking thank you man honestly
EpilepsyWarning I guess people who want to save money are dumb and people who are willing to spend 900 to 1000 dollars are geniuses. A flashy expensive phone doesn't make you look smart, it just says you have a lot of money.
Me sitting here watching this thinking, I only make $240 a year, Took me a year to buy a budget smartphone, it would take me 4 and a half years to get this phone, and only have $80 left, man, I need a raise bad.
I just bought the Note 8 in Nov 2019 that was in mint condition...literally like new. I paid $300 Canadian bucks for it and it's an awesome phone...value for money, it's off the charts. I never buy phones new anymore because of the premium you pay.
2017: 1000 dollar phone is Samsung's most expensive phone. *Apple and Samsung in 2 years* 2019: 1000 is standard flagship price and Galaxy Fold is 2000
Can't wait to upgrade my note 8 to note 10 plus it's on its way in the mail from pre-order. Just reliving my note 8 exp compared to now and man it feels great

I'm trying to convince my friend to move to a Note phone from an iPhone. I have her using my old Note 5 and the biggest complaint she had was the battery life. Got the Note 8 today so will be trying it out to see how much life I can get out of it.
labigq I agree
So it's either spend $1000 on a note 8 or iPhone X. I used to be a android user but now I'm apple user but if I were to spend $1000 on a phone I'd get the note 8 so I can get most use out of it.
Quasar or and hear me out just keep the phone you have and save up specifically for a new phone in a few years. Still got my s6 edge
Yeah definitely
Quasar Smart man
Mickey Mania 🙂
I'm waiting for the iPhone X because I'm hardwired into the Apple Ecosystem, but if I were an Android user I'd either get the S8+ or wait to see what the Pixel 2 turns out to be. Note 8 isn't worth the price bump from the S8+, and even at the same price I still might choose the S8+ for the battery life alone.
is iphone 8 worth the price? considering how incremental upgrade it is over the last gen
brown bobby not if you have an iPhone 7
brown bobby it depends on what phone you have currently. It they had named it 7S people would consider it a major upgrade, but since they switched the number, the expectations are high for how much should change, and it doesn't meet those expectations. It is a pretty major S upgrade though. Wireless charging, tru-tone display, 4k 60fps recording, enhanced portrait mode, durability improvements, A11 bionic. Basically the only things the X has that the 8 doesn't are the new display, dual OIS, Face ID, and front facing portrait mode. That's worth the extra $300 to me but maybe not to everyone else.
hands down best youtuber for reviews, been watching for years
I don't care how many reviews there are, a device means nothing to me until Marques reviews it
Olal Oyet Same
Facts at its finest
I've had the Note 8 for a week now and I have had zero problems with the battery life. Never had to charge it before I went to sleep at night.
wait a few months till the battery dies on you....samsung is shit
loonatic42 I'll keep you posted 👍
loonatic42 your opinion is ❌
I know me either. I believe a lot of people just need every single app to notify them. Some people are on FB all day and still need it to notify them on everything like they are customer support center for their friends!
I turned most things off because notifications create a false sense of urgency on the mind. My phone lasts the whole day and I text, browse the web, listen to music, etc...at work. I just have my financial accounts, text voicemail, and messages notify me. Everything else I check when I get good and ready.
loonatic42 Samsung have a military department. That alone makes Samsung more badass than any other tech developing company. How are they shit??
Anyone in 2019? When headphone jack doesnt exists and every company has a 1000 usd phone
😂😂
Sounds like you wrote this comment as a future message for the 2017 people watching this vid
Note 9 has one. I use them and for those that say get bluetooth already I do use that. But I also use lav mic. Lol.
@J D nope
Bought it in 2020. I can't stand most of the new flagships. Overpriced with no headphone jack? I think I'll pass and get this instead.
Everytime I think about upgrading I watch this video and stay on my note 8 for another year 😂👌🏽💯
These prices are getting silly. All people do is chat over whattsapp, make a few shots with the camera, watch youtube etc. wtf do they need a 1.000 € smartphone??
1. No. not €1000, $1000. it makes a difference.
2. so you're basically just assuming everyone does what you see other people that are specifically near you do.
BlueWizz Gaming I mean, when you see everyone around you using the device that way, its right to assume the average consumer would too.
BlueWizz Gaming the iPhone x costs 1000€ in Europe 😂😂
Ju Mei same in the U.S.
Michael Morales 1000€ = 1176 $
Got this phone on day 1. Have been using it for college. It performs the same if not better than my iPhone 7+ (battery-wise). Maybe in pure raw screen-on time it lacks in battery life, but I have the resolution maxed (although not the brightness) and play games in my time between classes. So mileage may vary. Also I must note (haha) that most applications I use have their background set to black (including my keyboard background), thus the amoled display eats less power. the stylus is priceless to jot down quick stuff before class ends when the teacher goes "oh and by the way pop quiz tomorrow" or something similar.
Dima Ant have you ever tried using it for pure note taking?
Zender Zagato, I've been using my note 4 for note taking in college for most of my freshman year and all of my sophomore year (so far) and I prefer it much more than traditional note taking. You get to take notes directly on the lecture slides (if they're provided), so you spend less time copying and more time listening and taking important side notes. You also get the experience of writing stuff down which supposedly helps with remembering it. I think the only upgrade I could make from what I currently do is buy a Surface Pro (screen real estate and easier file transfer), but that'd be adding another expensive device I need to keep track of.
Yeah the only thing is the screen size, I feel for notes I would still like something more tablet size and closer to that good ol' A4 paper.
snixon I been doing that with my note 5 in some classes. I can't really tell if it's helping improve my studying, or I should continue with my normal note taking with a note book. I feel like I do listen more in class when I use my phone though.
Dima Ant and consider that the big screen means more battery waste
2024 and I'm still on my note 8......barely. The screen and battery are both failing, but it's been a good run.
Your reviews, presentation, and production quality is far better than any other tech reviewer or organization on RUclips, please keep up the great work!
Yes but don't believe everything he said because his reviews are designed to kill other phones. Politically speaking.
He's responsible for the HTC downfall and the LG Pull out.
Used note 9 for 4 years. Currently using 23ultra. Can't live without the s pen now.
When it's late but you need to upload a video anyways
Baby Mousey lol, I liked that one
I have been using galaxy note8 for over two weeks now..What ever u mentioned in your video, I completely agree...it's one of the best phones in 2017 for sure...but I have to disagree on the battery here...
The battery is surprisingly awesome ..it gives me whole day, everyday...
I think you should use it as your daily driver..then you'll come to know..
Peace✌
I've disabled the animations and all the pretty stuff on the S8 and not only it became faster but also the battery lasted 2 or 3 more hours.
Also battery shaving mode is cool
I don't know that marques is talking about, the battery is great.
Amazing Original Videos for me too the battery life so far is really aweseom I usually get a full days use on my Note 8
Let me know how the battery life is doing after the next update or 6-12 months of usage.
Amazing Original Videos i want to know truth about battery life pls explain me if possible i am planning to buy it at present am m using iphone 7 s plus its battery is v good but takes too much time to full charge. Pls
goodness gracious. this is the first of your videos I have watched on my laptop, and the quality of it is amazing. great job, marques. you have my favorite review videos.
Why do so many people confuse AMOLED and OLED? No hate, I just wanted to point this out.
RubCuber amoled is a type of Oled
There's 2 types of OLED: AMOLED and PMOLED
a thousand dollar android, or a thousand dollar iphone? no thanks, i'd rather save my money :)

Thats the right way i mean 1000€ for a phon!? Hell naw i'd pay atleast 400€
S. Y. right on:-)
watching this in 2023, I really miss the pressure-sensitive home button. That was such a cool and useful feature that I really miss on my newer device now. Looking back at things, I feel like Samsung really has regressed in some areas, and doesn't much listen to their audience these days.
LG V30 REVIEW
ashcrash 143 already did one
+Antoine Jackson He did a "Top 5 Features", not an actual review, because the phone was only released yesterday, and only in South Korea...
CWINDOWSsystem32 top 5 feature is all you need
No not nearly enough. I want a full review.
V30 is lit
Great video. You forgot to mention +2Gb of RAM when you compared the Note 8 to the S8+
Hubert SAMUT Tbh I used to love watching his reviews but they feel so rushed now, I was shocked on how she just started the video like that let alone it felt a bit empty watching his review especially cutting that background music out of the blue; Mr.Moible is much better.
Also forgot to mention 1200 nits vs 1000 nits brightness
Finally, now people can play candy crush on 4k
I can't believe apple has made us pay 80 $ to get fast charging wtf apple bang out of order.
Gavin Mufc lee i heard that the fast charging is not working well as samsung
Halo Halo it is
Gavin Mufc lee Quite Stupid. It looks like the made the iPhone fast charge capable, but the Chargers always costed that. They are technically for macs, but it is way to overpriced and I find it stupid.
🤷♂️ the pixel and LG V30 don’t come with earbuds. You going to complain about that?
AmazonBasics 24W dual port USB adapter $9.99. there you go. MFI Certified, so It's compatible with iPhone X fast charge.
You're the best Marques, thanks for your good videos. Keep it up bro
Here in Saudi Arabia, S8+ price is $640 and Note 8 is $910 both unlocked. So the difference is $270. I would go with S8+.
Make sure you don't get stoned for that
As usual great job overall, like the categories and the systematic way you present the phone. At this point I would suggest creating sub-categories and scores for example for display and performance, and have an overall score of the phone with possibly extra points for unique features like this one. Dunno just to make it easier to compare between Alf this featured and competitors imo.
Yooo😂who's here after the s20 ultra got released
Omg u can predict the future
You are looking too much into the future the note 9 just came out

*No other reviewers have put forward the review as you do*
*I have a list of them in my subscription section.But I clicked only for your video.Because I knew it will be the best*
Anyone who says the Note 8 has poor battery life does not know how to properly optimize their phone. You can get 6-7hours of SOT with the Note 8 at 1440p you just need to use and properly configure Greenify and use app disabler software to disable bloat and not to mention clean the Cache Partition. Optimize your phone so you can get better battery life.
JCHGaming69 he is reviewing the phone as it comes out of the box. Of course if you tweak things, disable things, or modify things you'll get better results but that's not the point. The Note series at first was designed for the true power user with huge battery life and they've turned away from that route
So true power users are lazy and un-tech savy?LOL, I get your point, IMO I think the Note 8 should have had a 3600mah battery (Like the S7 Edge had), it would have been bigger battery than the s8 Plus and with how big the Note 8 is I think that capacity would have been plenty safe and I think battery life with that capacity out of the box would have been just fine even for power users, Despite having a 3600mah battery and being smaller than the Note 8 the S7 edge never was recalled or pulled of the shelf for the battery issues the Note 7 had and they still manufacture it with the same battery size to this day, so I doubt the Note 8 would have Note 7 esque battery issues if they went with that capacity but than again who knows.
JCHGaming69 I agree, I know Samsung wanted to stay in a "safe" margin with the battery but like you said I really think they could've squeezed a healthy 3,500/3,600mah in the phone
JCHGaming69 oneplus 5t can do much better by default. and honestly greenfiy and all that shit is a waste of time. cache partition probably doesn't impact battery life. But some small modifications can help a lot....Google wake Locks is gg
Really? I remember I had the S8 Active and when I cleared the cache partition it improve my battery quite a bit. I recently started using a indie app called Naptime which enables doze quicker than Greenify, but I still use Greenify as my app manager. With BK Disabler set to disable bloat and app services I don't use or need and using Greenify to hibernate my apps along with using Naptime as my doze app my battery life on my note has been amazing. Without using it my Note 8 drop from 100% to 99 percent in 5 hours which you can't say that for most phones.
Were the check boxes glitching out intentional??
yes
He’s reviewing an android, so typically he’s matching it to be glitchy just like the phone
currently what i use and its great. The note 9 wasnt worth the upgrade but the note 10 is really starting to speak to me
marco hernandez you should get the note 10 plus if you like massive phone and have the budget but if not get the note 10 like I have and I love it
Like the way you present the video, clear and concise Have had mine a few days without any issue other than signal strength. My old LG Vista always shows full bars at home while the note only hit 3, odd!
Remember when note phones were great and truly "no compromises" phones?
Yep
Note 4 times
Just getting ready to get rid of my Note 8 and for the first time since the Note 3 I won't own a Note.
It does have the resolution slider like the s8 right? So if you reduce the resolution down to iphone quality, battery life would be amazing, but hey, thats just like, my opinion man.
I'm already getting 6 hours of screen on time at maximum screen resolution...
MistPassiert 6 hours of screen on time at max resolution isnt that bad. I mean if you want more battery, swotch to 1080p and boom, almost twice the battery life.
“Down to iphone quality” 😀
LOL watching from my iPhone and that is funny as hell.😂😂😂
The phone is so beautiful I wish I could afford one😭😭😭😭😭
Right now it's 400 dollars

@Tryeasy. Mine still runs like a champion. Are you talking about battery life? Maybe you need a swap
Been having the note 8 for about a month and I love it. Don't even have to bring my backpack to class anymore, for my note 8 allows me to take notes and write on PowerPoint slides
*Still waiting for the Note 6...*
Adam Abbas lol
Adam Abbas Note 7 is back on the market, certain markets anyways
DeltaPhoenix I can say the same about the iPhone 9.
Adam Abbas iPhone 2g, 3g, 3GS not 1,2,3g
Agreed, they skipped the 6 then had to skip the 7 yeah... which is why I still have note 4, removable battery and ir blaster. Hard to justify buying note 8 with battery life, esp. considering price. Kind of disappointing b/c I was def. Going to buy both 7 and 8 but not now because of 🔋 fail.
Just like any other mainstream tech reviewers, you failed emphasize what Note series is meant for. The s-pen with wacom digitizer and it's capabilities are very unique to any other phone, i hoped you to bring more attention to detail in that area.
Sumanth M Rao He doesn't use the s pen. He don't know that feeling.
Sumanth M Rao I think he gets that. If you are a hard core spen user you are already sold, no need to state the obvious. For those of us who don’t care about the spen, which is 99.9% of us then we can decide does the rest of the package add up to $1000. I think it is obviously not worth that, and no the iPhone X is also not worth $1000 either. The good news is that in a few months this will be selling for big discounts. Maybe then it will be on the radar but to be honest the next Snapdragon will be out and better phones will be out.

Great phone, best review. Thanks, Marques! Will buy it because you said so. And the stylus.
Not a good review actually! This is his 3rd video i found you know "false".

Whats the color changing lamp behind
Yes Love it, more exciting then a Samung phone :)
It says JBL so I would Google JBL color changing speaker, since it looks like a speaker, and it changes color, and it's made by JBL
It's a JBL Pulse 2, actually a wireless speaker for $100ish.
Jbl pulse 2 and you should check pulse 3

MKBHD, why don't you record in 60FPS?
Mamba he said in his 5 mil sub Livestream 24 fps feels choppy 60 feels unnatural to view and 30 feels good for him
For content like this, 30 strikes a good balance. The raw footage he records already takes up a shit ton of space so doubling the framerate makes that even worse. This is probably the only time id say 30 is the better option :p
Because *Chromecast* can't play RUclips *1080p60* videos.
Maybe *Chromecast* *Ultra* can , but I'm not still on *4K* .
Mamba he feels that it's choppy and unnatural to him
My internet and a lot of other people's internet simply can't handle 60fps. I can watch 1080p but when it comes to 60fps, I have to drop it down to 480.
Happy to see this video, sad to see the title.
Knightcore why its tru
gotta pay to play my man.
true
Sad to see the title because of the price? or sad to see the title because you’re the type to mock iPhone X for its price then turn around and see your device be the same price? 🤔

I have s7 is it worth to buy it?
Yeah
The battery is actually better than the s8 plus.
Own Alrizqi I wouldn't know as I haven't played with the note 8 at all. But I do have the s8 plus upgraded from the store and the battery just annihalates the s6 which is fine for me.
William Ives note 8 matches s8plus
There is comparison videos between both phones. The note is better because of the optimization despite having smaller battery ☺
Own Alrizqi I concur! I bought the s8 plus just to try it out within 14 days of being able to turn it in. My note 8came in before I had to turn it in and the note 8 battery is better than the s8 plus. Even with smaller battery
I have a xiaomi 4X. I'm so used to 4100mA and a weak processor that I don't know how I will deal with the S8 that arrives Monday

Red Hood the only reason android phones use more ram is because android requires more ram to run smoothly
EpilepsyWarning I guess people who want to save money are dumb and people who are willing to spend 900 to 1000 dollars are geniuses. A flashy expensive phone doesn't make you look smart, it just says you have a lot of money.
