It has curved glass on both the front and back sides. The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is the heaviest Note to date, weighing in at 195 grams. It can withstand both water and dust.

Camera and Storage

The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 appears to be a favorite among photographers. On the back, there are two 12MP cameras. Dual LED, dual tone flash, phase detection autofocus, optical image stabilization (OIS), and 2X optical zoom round out the package. It captures 4K video in great resolution.

For selfies, there’s also an 8MP front-facing camera with f/1.7 aperture, Auto HDR, and autofocus. This camera takes 2K videos at 30 frames per second.

Hardware and Other Features

It’s reasonable to expect nothing less than the finest from a smartphone in this price range. And you’ll get it with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chipset, which runs at up to 2.35 GHz in flagship mode. However, it looks that in some areas, the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 will be equipped with Samsung’s own Exynos 8895 octa-core chipset.

The phablet comes with a whopping 6 GB of RAM. It’s available in 64GB, 128GB, and 256GB storage capacities. Surprisingly, you’ll still be able to add more storage. There is even speculation of a device with 4GB of RAM. The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 runs Android 7.1.1 (Nougat) out of the box.

In addition to a fingerprint scanner on the back, the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 has an iris scanner for unlocking. It has a USB Type-C port that may be used in either direction. The device is powered by a 3,300mAh battery with quick charging capabilities.
