Conclusion
As you can see, there isn’t much to worry about as this is a real comeback from Samsung. The Note 8 is very useful and powerful and expensive at the same time.
A stunning display and cool camera functionality are all what we’d expect from premium gadget as such. Battery could have been better maybe not yet though.
The general fact is that the Note 8 is a device that is good enough for all no matter what just that having to be conscious about the battery’s longevity isn’t just something I’d like to always keep in mind always. But all in all, it’s a nice tool.
