IS SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 8 VALUE FOR MONEY? FULL REVIEW..

Credits - www.google.com

Hello Guys.. I have been using the new Samsung Galaxy Note 8 as my primary phone past  three weeks and I would like to share my experience including the pros and the cons so you can decide if this smartphone is the best suitable for you or not. It is powered by Exynos 8895 chipset and snapdragon 835 octacore processor, protected by gorilla glass and has 6 GB of RAM. It is supported by MALI 671 MP20 GPU and has 64 GB of internal storage which can is further expandable by installing an micro SD card. It is IP68 marked which makes this phone complete water and dust resistant. The aspect ratio is 18:9.  

With the failure of galaxy NOTE 7, Samsung has decided to be on the safer side and the NOTE 8 comes with 3300 mAH lithium polymer batter with dash charger technology. Moving on to the camera, Samsung has finally come up with its first dual camera setup with 12 MP dual rear camera f 1.7 and f 2.4 Aperture which suits best with the segment and 8 MP front camera. It comes with a fingerprint scanner which is placed at the back resting beside the camera and with also has an iris and Face recognition scanner.

 As Usual you can select between the Google Assistant and The Bixby voice support . I personally use Bixby as it manages the multitasking tasking very well. Note 8 comes with Android Nougat version and will receive the Oreo update by end of October. Now lets start with the Pros and cons of this smartphone. The screen is one of the best that you can get for $1000 dollar smartphone in the market. The image quality is very sharp and shows you every single detail that is possible, thanks to the infinity display. Samsung has done a very good job in calibrating the auto-brightness. I didn't had to manually set-up the brightness every time I went out in Sun. In-fact it is the brightest screen in this variant.

Talking about the built quality, it feels very premium while holding the phone it in hand. One con is that this smartphone is very heavy and is makes your pocket very heavy when keep the note 8 in it. The S- Pen makes the note series different from other smartphones. You can create live messages via your S-pen which feels pretty awesome. You can send heart shapes to your girlfriend which in return can give you surprising returns. Just joking. The audio quality Via the headphone jack and  is not very good but just medium. If you are a heavy user, this smartphone is made up for you. 

The RAM management has been done pretty well, adding this smartphone to the list of most smooth devices ever build. To test the hardware, I opened all the applications in the background and then played some games while listening some music. Surprisingly there were no lag issues . Good Job Samsung. The battery lasted long for a full working day but if you are a heavy gamer and love to surf Youtube and Netflix, you might have to top it up in the evening. With the fast charging support, the battery reaches the 100 percent mark in 1 hour 30 minutes which is much slower that one plus 5 and LG V30.

I was pretty impressed by the camera. NOTE 8 has one of the best camera ever offered in a smartphone. You can click pictures and record videos upto 4k quality. The Smart stabilization works even with 4k recording. So you can record high quality videos while walking even faster. You can click pictures in Portrait Mode and the auto focus calibration is done very well. My experience with the Samsung galaxy Note 8 was very nice. I would definitely recommend my readers to buy the Note 8 if they have a crush on Android and want a value for money smartphone.
