Just a terrible product, very upset.

Lights between the display and the frame are present in almost all devices, somewhere more somewhere less. It's not very pleasant and insulting when you buy a phone for that kind of money! The most interesting thing is that Samsung denies this at a time when they even have the same ones with flashes on their stand in official stores! Despite the fact that I am in love with this smartphone, I put the lowest rating because of this problem. Two months later, a marriage of an oleophobic coating was

Pros
  • The device is awesome. The benefits are endless! This is the most technologically advanced smartphone to date!
Cons
  • Lights between the display and the frame on the left and right! Two months later, a marriage of an oleophobic coating was discovered.

Average quality, not an outstanding product.

In general, according to my impressions, the phone is gorgeous and I am very pleased with it. But, excuse me, for 70,000, I think that there should not be any roughness in it at all, so I put a three for the price / quality ratio. More details on the pros and cons: 1. screen - it's very cool. The picture is juicy, the brightness is excellent, the eyes (at least for me) do not get tired. But I attribute it to the minuses at the same time - if you put a phone with an IPS matrix next to it, you…

Pros
  • screen. gorgeous performance. without comments stylus. comfortable but not for everyone waterproof. without comments chic appearance
Cons
  • screen. white color is a little yellow bixby. the biggest drawback phone book app. voluntarily merges contacts camera. good during the day, so-so at dusk autonomy. tolerable but not enough

One of the best deals, glad I bought this.

if you are not a fan of drawing something, decorating - the stylus will be practically useless. notes are not as conveniently written as I would like. but maybe I have not figured it out yet, because. I have been using it for only 1.5 months and have not actively pumped it, but I recommend that you take this factor into account before buying, it is better to test it in work before buying so as not to overpay in vain.

Pros
  • excellent quality camera, video recording with good stabilization, large screen size is easy to read.
Cons
  • not all pockets and covers fit, the battery can cope only for 1 day, the cost of the device is higher than the declared price-quality ratio.

I, as for a simple user who listens to music all day long and sits in multimedia applications, is absolutely satisfied with the phone. A nice bonus was the wireless charging as a gift, which charges quickly enough. Got pros: - Large, bright and clear screen, which is perfectly visible even in the sun; - Wild performance (simultaneous YouTube and application for drawing, or movies and FB, etc.); - Perfectly optimized battery (at first I ate the battery quickly, but then I got used to it and now…

As the owner of Note3 and Note4, I was waiting with interest for Note8 after the fiasco of the 7th. Since there are no other flagships with a stylus, there is not much choice. Well, maybe not to take frank hack-work, like Note5 and Note9, in which improvements cannot be seen with the naked eye. These phones will last 2 and 3 years without any problems with performance and obsolescence. About fragility. Yes, the phone looks like it will shatter when dropped, but in my opinion it is impossible to

Pros
  • I must say right away that the phone is very successful (in the note line), despite its minuses, the pros outweigh the pros. Here they are in my opinion: - The screen is beautiful. Amoled, high resolution and quite bright. There is no pinkish tint to white, as on Note4. great "blue filter" function. - New form factor makes it more comfortable to hold compared to Note 4. - The camera is quite worthy of a flagship, and at the time of release was one of the best. In the line for the first time with a double module. - 3 authorization methods: by face, by iris, and by fingerprint. Most often I use face unlock, Iris and finger are considered biometric information and are suitable for autofilling passwords and activating any wallets like Samsung Pay. - The possibility of wireless charging allows you to save the connector, and it's more convenient than a plug. - Just an indescribable pleasant feeling from the phone in hand. The glass case, the absence of sharp transitions and tangible backlashes gives the feeling that you are holding a monolith in your hands. For all the time of using mobile phones, this is the first time for me. - Stylus. They are very comfortable doing many things, like taking screenshots, editing and sending them right away, or taking notes in OneNote, or scratching their ears. Samsung with Note3 got me hooked on this unfortunate pen, which you use well if once a day, and now for me a phone without a pen does not exist. - At the moment (07202222) it costs 31k, which would make me buy it if I had not bought it earlier. - Gear VR.
Cons
  • Where do without them. - The infamous pulsed backlight starts to flicker when the brightness is reduced, as in Note 4. The resolution is redundant in my opinion, and the phone allows you to reduce it, in one and increase autonomy. - Unusual form factor does not match the standard video format, and most games, which means you have to endure stripes around the edges. The rounding of the screen, according to the phone, is a full-fledged work area, and controls and information will periodically appear there, which causes certain inconveniences. - The telephoto lens of the 2nd camera has a magnification of x2, what a magnification. Controlling the camera from a Samsung is inconvenient and raises many questions, for example, why can't you turn on the flashlight when the camera is working. - As I understand it, authorization on the face is trite with the help of a camera, it does not work in low light. The iris does not work well on the contrary when the background light is too bright, the fingerprint works quickly and without errors, but is located at the back. - Wireless charging is good for everyone, but it is not included and it is not fast. - Because of the aesthetic pleasure of the body, I absolutely do not want to wear a cover, which is fraught. However, for almost a year I managed to never drop it. - The stylus is addictive. Even tablets you will be looking for with it. - My first phone with a non-removable battery, and today, after almost 2 years, it does not even hold daylight hours. If you turn off all interfaces and switch to energy saving, then it will last a day. But if you are going to actively use it, then a power bank is necessary. - Mono speaker that is easy to close with your finger. - So far, it has not been possible to use the Bixbi functionality, and a whole button has been allocated for it.

Everything about the product satisfied me, the price is perfect.

I am the owner of an old Note 3, which I rightfully consider the best model in the Note line. Let it not have a curved screen, and there are no various scanners. I will share my experience with the new Note. When working with the screen, there are almost no accidental touches of the curved part, you can work without problems even without a cover. The screen is of course amazing, when you install dark wallpaper, the screen has no frame when you look at it in the evening. Face recognition - does…

Pros
  • Screen. Guys, only the screen creates all the hype around this model
Cons
  • Low battery life. USB Type C - if the phone runs out of power, they won't help you. The chance of walking around the mall to charge the phone of some girl at the sales counter is zero - the previous version of USB is everywhere in everyday life.

Do not hesitate to buy, the quality is amazing for the price.

In general, the device is excellent! As of November 2022, in its own way, out of competition. With a large diagonal, it is very comfortable in the hand. I put five stars with a stretch because they could not make a convenient, uncompromising unlocking of the device (Apple was able to with their Face ID, but Samsung did not with the iris . It's a pity .). In general, the finger and iris sensors work tolerably and compensate each other in certain scenarios, but this is definitely not 5 stars, the

Pros
  • S-Pen Features! Camera! Screen! Performance! Design!
Cons
  • The fingerprint scanner on the back cover is not very convenient The iris scanner is also not very convenient Autonomy is not bad, but for this money I would like better Fragile Few accessories.

Good product for me, no problems at all.

All the best! Got a raccoon. I want to eat impressions, because for a long time I doubted whether to buy it or not. Before him, there was and is the Galaxy S7 (therefore, I will compare with it, well, and partially with apple :) Before buying, I read the forums for a long time and decided whether I needed a device with a stylus or not (although there was once the legendary HTC P3300). The choice was between S8 +, HTC U11 Plus. Iphone, unfortunately I can’t consider it, because due to the work I

Pros
  • - big screen; - stylus; - various functions and settings; - connection quality; - camera; - stylus; - dex;
Cons
  • - size (a consequence of the large screen); - price; - workmanship (a large number of defects or a manufacturing feature);

The phone is of high quality, but it is not at all worth the money that is asked for it. 70 thousand is the official price, but there is nothing worth 70 thousand in it, even if there is such money for the phone. The closest competitors are OnePlus 5T 64GB -29 590 , and Honor 8 Pro - 29 990 at the same level, a miracle lower, ok, for this miracle I'm ready to pay another 5, well, 10 thousand at most, but 40k pay extra for the brand - dismiss. The unofficial price for gray devices saves 46k…

Pros
  • - High-quality camera with properly configured post-processing - 2x optical zoom and stabilization
Cons
  • - Bixby is nothing at the moment - Official price

Very high quality product, it's not the first time I bought it.

If there is an opportunity to buy this device and there is a need for an ideal phone - take it, do not hesitate. Different pros: 1. Amazing build quality. Monolith. You take in hands - you have a thing! 2. Screen. Color saturation, brightness - everything is beyond praise. Before that, there was Note 4, everything was also fine, but here it’s much better, I didn’t even think that it was possible. 3. Bixby button - with the help of a simple application (bxActions) you can attach any function to…

I am very happy with this purchase, I will advise everyone!

If anyone is interested, I'll tell you about the choice between the Samsung s9 +, note 8 and note 9. I don't see the point of waiting for note 9. A little more powerful, a little better camera. Everyone has their own design, but judging by the tenders and leaks, it didn’t work for me. If a stylus is important to anyone, take a laptop, if not, then take s9 +, but you may have to overpay. So far so

Pros
  • I bought it in early July for 41,000. I chose between Lg g6, s9 +, Asus zenfone 5z and p20 pro. I was very pleased with the camera, it takes excellent pictures during the daytime, the problems are only at dusk, then there may be a slight defocus in portrait mode. Other than that, the cameras are great. The pictures are very detailed, like a good camera. The Spen pen is very good. At first I thought that it would not be useful, but it turned out to be wrong, all functions work fine, nothing fails. Magnifying glass and text translation are especially useful. To be honest, the presence of a pen was decisive in the choice. For such money, only he has a stylus. Everything else works so that there is nothing to say. Nothing lags, does not slow down, heavy applications and games pull without problems, the screen is excellent, everything is without question.
Cons
  • Slightly frustrates the battery. Only 3300 mach. Just like all flagships. Light day withstands, and then problems are possible. But with active use, it gets up to charge at 7-8 hours. It can only distance if you switched from a smartphone with a large battery. I did. I switched from Asus zenfone mac zc550kl (5000mAh) And so without any complaints. Oh, and more. The bundled AKG headset is just awful. Listening to music is simply impossible and unpleasant. Ringing sound with noises, without a hint of normal low frequencies. In order to somehow use it without falling off your ears, you need to do a little magic with the equalizer, specifically turn on uhq and a tube amplifier, further on preferences

In general, a great device! Given the current prices, the best offer on the market, if you are not afraid of the size) Completeness is the envy of any Chinese: good charging, high-quality headphones, replaceable stylus nibs. Who did not have a stylus, and there is a question: why is it, do not hesitate - buy, try, a very practical and convenient thing! Pros below: Well, he says, the screen is TOP. WQHD (2960×1440) - perfect image clarity, rich colors, brightness at a very high level. The stylus

The best product, from those that I have viewed, I advise everyone!

Go. I'll tell you in more detail. I just fell in love with Samsung devices, namely their Note series. I had Note 4. But by coincidence, I sold it and then regretted it, of course. When Note 7 came out, I really wanted to buy it, but you yourself remember what happened with this 7th . So. I really realized that the battery of the Note 8 really doesn't last long. Everyone complains about it and mAh is less than that of S8 +. I will say this. If you don't need a stylus, take the S8+. They are…

Pros
  • So, let's begin: 1. Screen. Well, he's just the coolest on the market, it makes no sense to say something. 2. Curvature Edge - just not a real thing, you can't take your eyes off the screen. For me, this is new. 3. Camera. Of course, I don’t really take pictures on the camera, because I have a DSLR, but what I took from the pictures - the pictures came out decent. 4. Stiiloouuuss is just something. For the sake of the stylus, I took this device. 5. The presence for this series (namely Note 8) of cool Alcantara cases. Everyone is very jealous when picking up the phone. 6. Price - it has fallen very much, compared to the previous one (2022) (I took it at the end of 2022). And the characteristics - another 2 years will be among the top ones. 7. By the way, performance - it's really powerful. For all the time of use, no lags, and braking. 8. Well, the presence of a hybrid slot. Like everything.
Cons
  • 1. The biggest drawback is the battery. I'll explain later. 2. I will also take the curvature of the Edge screen to the minuses - it is not convenient to type on the keyboard, I always cling to the side letters. 3. If you put on a cover, then the meaning of the curved screen disappears, because there are frames from the covers themselves. But for that it is already more convenient to print. 4. Fingerprint does not work immediately and not quickly. (but these are trifles). 5. The Bixby button is annoying sometimes. But also trifles.

Not exactly the product I wanted, price and quality don't match.

For 6 months, two original styluses broke. I think that the fault lies entirely with Samsung. Didn't think of the design. A weak point at the junction of two types of plastic (in my case, black and dark silver). There would be a stylus of a monolithic design . it would not break like that. And now I'm forced to buy a stylus for the third time . and pay out of my pocket for Samsung's mistakes. I definitely won’t buy Note 9 anymore . the stylus can be seen something the same . "will please" the…

Pros
  • Ease of use with a stylus.
Cons
  • Stylus quality.

A good quality product, I rate this purchase perfectly.

I've been going with galaxy7 and 7 edge for a couple of years. In principle, everything suits and there was not even a desire to switch to eights. I bought this device only because of the stylus. once I had the first models in the line of laptops and the use of the stylus was very obvious. However, this model is really cool and worth the money! Pros below: 1. Gorgeous screen. Despite its size, the phone itself is quite neat and not bulky. 2. The camera impressed me very pleasantly. Really good…

Nice product, happy with my purchase and may buy again.

compare with lg v20. in general, I am satisfied with the smartphone, for me there is no particular difference with v20, it was lost. I had to look for a new model, choosing between lg v30. oneplus 6. huawei mate 10. I do not regret that in the end I purchased the note 8 model, it lives up to expectations. I recommend to buy. it’s especially nice when you take a photo in a company, put your phone in a circle, show what happened, and everyone asks what kind of camera this is, definitely the best…

Pros
  • 1. screen, rich colors, do not hurt the eyes 2. camera. rear super, front for 40,000 could be better, she is not happy. 3. notification indicator 4. When paying for Samsung Pay, you do not need to turn on NFS 5. 4g + I use a megaphone, the maximum speed was 28 mb / s, and on average, from 5 to 15 (Hong Kong) 6. connection quality, the network does not disappear, it finds it instantly after the flight mode and reboot 7. sound, I use Sony MDR-XB50AP, there is a built-in equalizer ( Music) 8. Fast charge from 0 to 100 in 90 minutes charges 9. gps is normal, nothing special, keeps and finds satellites stably ( Maps) 10. Samsung's Notes program, when working with a stylus 11. 6 GB of RAM. but I don’t think it’s necessary, 4 is enough for a smartphone during normal use (I don’t play games) 12. connector 3.5 13. Interaction with the Samsung Galaxy watch 2022 (for example, remote activation of gps, answering SMS, calls, WhatsApp, FB and much more, searching for a phone from the watch) 14. And the most important plus is the connection of a smartphone to any TV and monitor via DeX. this is the beginning of the end of computers i think
Cons
  • After 1 year and 11 months, the sensor stopped working, it only reacts to the stylus, not to fingers 1. glass on a curved screen, after 2-3 days it starts to recede and an air gap appears, I don’t like book covers, I have experience with broken screens, now I just glue glass. the last time in the cabin was pasted with glue, it still leaves 2. Bixby button, it's just not needed. sometimes there are accidental clicks in a horizontal position 3. fingerprint. does not always work, you need to reach out. i'm right handed. they would have placed him in the very corner 4. face unlock does not always work, it does not work at all in the dark. For the money they could have installed better. 5. IR port, it is not. although this is a trifle, but still 6. To connect a speaker from the Samsung itself, you need to download an additional application

The purchase brought only positive emotions.

The best that is at the moment, and the only thing I wanted to change the old Note3. In tel. has everything you need and even more. But you have to be prepared that you will have to deal with the phone - there are a lot of settings and possibilities. Problems with the software due to the "elongation" of the screen have not yet been noticed. Too much heat too. Pros: In general, with the exception of minor and mostly solvable shortcomings listed below, the phone is one big plus: - workmanship…

No minuses as such, comfortable to use.

Switched to it from Samsung S8 +. The screens are identical, on Note 8 it is only slightly larger. The battery is disappointing. The camera made me happy. The stylus is also an interesting thing, although I rarely use it, but when necessary, it is convenient. Has pros: - Great phone with great 2k AMOLED screen and good performance. - Beautiful and not buggy One UI shell. - Wireless charger. - IP68. - Stylus. - Telephoto lens, dual camera and more or less adequate background blur.

A reliable product, quality is acceptable.

Has some pros I am very pleased with the performance, photo / video quality and separately appreciated the presence of a pen, which allows you not only to draw (I'm not an artist), but also use it in everyday life from quick note taking, to shopping lists, handwriting text messages and fast image transfer ( or parts thereof) to the interlocutors. Cons below: Average battery life and average sound quality (including volume). One charge for a day is not enough, but partly this is due to the fact

Good product, I recommend that you try it.

I bought the device in August 2022 purely in order to see what Android is these days and taste the delights of the stylus - before switching to Note 10, I wanted to understand if I could use Samsung or not, since I had been on Apple since 2022. The device is still relevant and very pleasant to use, which was a pleasant surprise for me. If you often use the Internet and media content on the go, then a portable battery is absolutely mandatory for use.

Pros
  • - Excellent contrast screen - Stylus - Camera - The presence of a fingerprint scanner (as soon as the Apple had FaceID and the scanner disappeared - I didn’t like it fiercely, but I had to scan myself so as not to constantly enter the code) - Performance - Possibility to insert a memory card
Cons
  • - A VERY weak battery, I had to scatter the charges along the way, so as not to be left without communication. - Ability to put either a second SIM card or a memory card. It would be cool if they made a separate slot for the card.
