Don't have one, but here are my thoughts on the phone:

 

Top of the line specs, good.

Nice physical design in terms of looks, nice

Headphone jack, excellent

Water resistance, fantastic

Doesn't explode, amazing

 

Stylus I'd never use, pointless

Terrible fingerprint scanner placement on a tall phone, unforgivable

Cheaper than the iPhone X, just get an S8+

Do you have a use of a stylus? That's the only actual selling point. If not then buy the s8+

 

I can't talk about how much is what because everyone has different aspects of what they. An afford, but note 8 is pretty expensive in my point of view. Although if you can afford it and you use the s pen it's a solid device

Great phone on paper, not as great in real life. It's a little top heavy, and the finger print placement is ridiculous.

I was fully invested into getting one until I saw that. Waiting to see what next years Note is like now.

If you use the Stylus, it's 100% worth it, as others have said though, if you don't you're better off getting the S8+.

I loved my Note5. Best phone I've ever owned.

I think it's a very nice phone, but I probably won't be buying one. Instead of getting a $900 phone, I'd rather get a $450 one and replace it every year (instead of every other year).

I replace mine every year regardless of cost :P
