Luxor, 27 Aug 2017I agree with the crappy part. But about dedicated sd slot. I dont even think it necessary with... moreI can't fit all mu music on 64GB (Actual 53GB or so).
I mean i can, but barely and when i install apps, there won't be more than 2-3GB free space, which is just not enough. I already have a 64GB card (It's enough for me when combined with the internal storage of 16GB/10GB), but with the hybrid slot i'd be forced to pay for the even more expensive version...

And then pay again 1-2 years later because of their low quality batteries (Which will also heat up significantly due to the water-proofing combined with the glass back and the powerful hardware, so it may not even last an year).

In other words...it's pure insanity to waste money on such devices.

I dont even think it necessary with the amount of internal storage already provided. 64/128/256gb options. Why sd card even needed, I dont even know. About stereo speakers, from what I know the front speaker does fire up audio simultaneously with the down firing speaker. It doesnt sound balance but Samsung assumed this as alternative for stereo speakers. Hey, that front speaker might not even exist anymore in future S9. Samsung might go totally bezel less. Mi Mix type of front speaker will be used.

                1- With 18.5:9 the screen should be 6.6".
                2- Front flash.
                3- 4000mAh minimum.
                4- Front L/R speakers.

                      Yes...

                      1) nothing new, everything is found out there already.
                      2) it will be slower than Pixel 2, XZ1, iphone 7s, iphone 8, moto z2 force, u11, xz premium, op5t, mi6
                      3) same bad front camera of s8
                      4) fragil structure like s8
                      5) mono speaker

                            No. It wasn't. But it leaves little choice inn the matter as well.
                            If they had at the very least out 3,600mah in and f1.9 or even 2.0 on the second i wouldn't have to complain about those still being shortcomings or the other issues so much.

                              I voted "perfect". The price is WAY too much but it'll come down a couple hundred in no time. Short of having dual speakers, this IS the perfect hardware I've been waiting for: more boxy S8+ with all its great features, 6GB RAM, and last and least dual cams. If only the 6GB RAM S8+ was released in my country, I'd be writing this comment on it right now and to hell with the dual cam!!

                              Spen is a nice extra, nothing more.

                                Even though GALAXY NOTE 8 don't have much improvement from GALAXY S8, it is great to see SAMSUNG refreshing the looks of the NOTE series having Infinity Display too. But ever since they have the new aspect ratio, their smartphone feels kind of small even if they have 6.3" on the specification sheet. The newest thing is the dual camera, their very first of a kind in their brand. Until now I still have no idea how it is going to perform, but I have a feeling it is definitely going to perform much better the GALAXY S8

                                    Terrible phone... the negatives far outweight the positives in here for me.

                                      From the design it is not, it looks pretty yet way too fragile, especially that curved edge, the rear dual setup camera is ugly and uglier (distracting) when the color isn't black and the fps and bixby are just no! Note 7 was better designed

                                      Feature wise note8 is great though, the s-pen is ahead of competition to the point where nobody touches it but still do I hope the note series will be all-kind-of pen compatible just xperia Z ultra back then because I find the spen too skinny to hold.

                                      For the price note8 better come with stereo speakers, 4K battery, 4K screen or just release the note 8 active series with flat screen and juice!

                                        Fingerprint sensor location, small camera sensors and price make it a mediocre phone.
