If the Note 8 has Siri, I'll be really impressed. I wonder if he meant Bixby. Perhaps the screen brightness bit? I dunno!

There was a comparison made to Siri where he referenced Siri not having a feature that it now has.

I love the premium look of samsung devices. I currently have an s7 and was going to get an S8, but I am going to wait for the s9 next march

Yeah, upgrading from an S7 to an S8 is less convincing than the upgrade from an S6 to like an S8/S8+. I have an S6 and upgraded to an S8+. I could've waited until March for the S9/S9+ but Best Buy was running a neat deal on the S8s and S8+s  $300 off for Verizon models, I think $400 for Sprint models and like $250 for AT&T and Unlocked phones.

I agree with Linus on this. 

 

I was really disappointed by the fingerprint implementation on the S8. I think it's actually a terrible design choice as it is impossible for most people to reach naturally, plus you have a 70% chance of smudging your camera lens.

 

I had such high hopes they would include the under screen fingerprint sensor on the Note 8, but no luck. I don't understand why we were hearing rumors about this technology for the past year and a half if no one is going to deliver on it until 2018. Maybe the iPhone 8 will have it, but until that is achieved, I guess I'll stick with my One M8 :/

Buy Samsung Galaxy Note 8 on Amazon: http://geni.us/1rF9N

 

Has Samsung made an... explosive... return to the large smartphone game with the Note 8?

 

 

I just wish Linus could've pointed out that the Note 8 can record video at 18.5:9 aspect ratio

I have an S8+ and I have only mistaken the heartrate sensor for the fingerprint sensor. But I do have thicc fingertips so, I do sometimes hit a little bit of the lens but not enough to actually get over the sensor.


Even when I first got the phone.

I thought Linus sounded quite bored and unenthusiastic in the video. Was he unwell at the time of filming? He does seem to be lacking some of his usual energy.

I just wanted to say that the hand model is much better without the gaudy nail designs

  • 2 weeks later...

I've got one of these, and I'm really perplexed by the screen protection options out there. I've got a polymer one on it now, and it looks like absolute ass after using the included pen. Now the protector is riddled with lines and waves from the pen indenting the polymer. I purchased a tempered glass option, and it fell off in about a week as the adhesive is only at the very far edges of the protector.

 

It really sucks to finally get a high end phone and have it look like garbage to keep it scratch free.

Lets play connect the dots!
