11. What we like the most about
Samsung Galaxy Note 8
12. • The rear camera has a secondary
telephoto lens for the users to
play with and not only does it
have 2x the optical zoom (which
helps in achieving less distortion
when zooming in as compared to
digital zoom), both the 12MP rear
cameras have dual optical image
stabilization to avoid blurry
pictures that occur with shaky
hands, as well.
13. • The 6.3-inch screen makes a lot of
difference when using it with the S
Pen stylus as it gives a bigger
canvas for smaller inputs than
your finger.Samsung Galaxy Note
8 comes with App Pair which
slides out from the Edge menu.
14. • This particular specification is
meant for power users who like
to multitask with a lot of apps
at once and love to play the
newest as well as the heaviest
3D and VR games.
15. •The S Pen is something users will
either love to use all the time, or
just let it be there into the
embedded holster and forget
about it after the first week.
16. Some Not So Good Attributes Of Samsung
Galaxy Note 8
17. • With all these heavy duty
specs, the 3300mAh feels a
tad bit under-powered.
• The back being an all-glass
unit is attracts a lot of
smudges and scratches.
18. • Having said everything,
Samsung Galaxy Note 8 still
feels a large device to handle
and can cause a heart-attack if
it falls from a considerable
height.
• Samsung Galaxy Note 8 still
seems on the expensive side.
