Have been a Note fan from the premier Note1. I am just concerned with Samsung's repeated mistakes or shortcoming in the "Battery" department.

A'int no shame in it! You don't have it all together! Really and truly, NO ONE has it ALL.

So, Go Sammy, Go buy the tech and incorporate it to an already "fine jewel" of the King of of Phablets. That's it! Do that and you have only just begun in your "pursuit of perfection"!

Only one thing I don't like is the placement of the fingerprint. Is not favourable place at all esp. considering the size of the phone. The phone is also heavy but apart from these two things the phone is a great make. I hope you get the market you want. One thing I am happy for is the discount you are offering for the Note 7 buyers. Great move.

What a wow! Wow and wow again. Great great specs I think that this phone can take phone of the year again. Samsung company is a serious company and that they are becoming dangerous in the game of mobile phone business.

Disappointed idea for dual sim hybrid slot. Some advance user might always perform hard reset (wipe data) instead of soft reset (recall factory setting). So memory card is strictly required. When sim 2 is installed then no more slot for memory card.

Tech.Chief, 25 Aug 2017Nice one! It is what it is. Like I said; a phone out there for everyone! Some would pick ba... moreBecause everyone wants more RAM to open a lot of apps at the same time. I have 12 GB RAM because I illustrate 30,000 by 20,000 pixels of digital canvass. I make a living out of it. What do you use your laptop for - gaming? You don't need 16GB for that. It's nice to just say specs and "futureproof" a $1200+ macair with a 128GB M.2 storage space and is the laptop that isn't even suited for professional illustration or 3D model making. It's thin, metal and light with an Apple logo. Now Apple is even making very thin layered special batteries all glued inside the laptop which no one else will be able to replace.

This is the progressive future you like. All batteries being sealed. You should know the battery is the first to go for any devices. And you're very happy to be going to service centers for changing them and paying a lot more than you should. Yes, progress way of doing things.

I'm expecting the Note8 to something I'm going to be using a lot - I'm getting myself a new 30,000 mAh external battery pack by Zerolemon. Why not, right? Go all the way in carrying a big @$$ powerbank for the thin Note8 until Zerolemon comes out with the external battery case. My old Xioami 16,000 mAh one is with my wife who needs it daily to power up her S7 Edge - yes, progress. Big @$$ power bank for thin phone.

Love the phone, I was really looking forward to pre-order the blue one and unfortunately it is not available here in the UK.

Is it available in the USA?
Or the question should be is that colour available anywhere at all? (apart from youtube videos)

DNeighbor, 25 Aug 2017A key understanding - OLED screens are way efficient than LCD. There's no surprise there. Whil... moreNice one! It is what it is.

Like I said; a phone out there for everyone! Some would pick based on an IR blaster, some for battery, some for screen.

I do for future proofing; average across the board specs - especially for components that can't be upgraded. And more importantly platform compatibility.

I also seen Samsung models that NEVER saw updates after the first push (which is shamefully normal), BUT with the flagships, they are "forced" to update for at least another 5 functional years. And with a 6GB of RAM, I think it's as future proof as buying a 16Gb RAM laptop.

Tech.Chief, 25 Aug 2017I welcome the water resistance, so many phones been damaged by liquid than impact. My daugh... moreA key understanding - OLED screens are way efficient than LCD. There's no surprise there. While you must like carrying and charging with a power pack daily (yeah, progressive), I carry one device. No charger, no power bank, no charging pads, no worries despite heavy usage.

3300 mAh is almost 6% less than the Note7's 3500 mAh. With the usual browsing, YouTube and music with just almost 5 hours of SOT, about in the 9th hour of use with 30% left. Just means I have 13 hours of average keep up time if I'm not going to charge. I'm out of the house 16 to 18 hours. I have to charge before night time.

This is progress to you.

It's not to me, especially I sometimes stream document my art lessons outdoors. I complain because Sanding can do better. Case point: S8 Active with 4000 mAh. Even that 4000 mAh could only give me barely 15 hours up keep. At 5000 mAh, it'll give me 18.5 hours.

It's math.

Make no mistake, I'll be getting this, and will put it to the test again. I expect the battery to be meh.

Very excited about the Note 8 and new specs. I have been a note user for several years starting from the Note 1 then 3 then 4. I was not to sure if there was going to be another note since the Note 7 did not dot hat well. When I heard that the note 8 was officially launch I got very excited but was then disappointed again. I know some of you might not enjoy or appreciate the IR Blaster that use to accompany many Samsung mobiles but I kinda live for it. It has been so sad to see the IR being discontinued on several flagship Samsung.When I decided back then on a new note, I had to choose between the Note 4 or 5and ended with the note 4. Its been over a year now and my IR blaster on the note 4 suddenly died after the lats update and apparently its a known issue. Was told by Samsung to take it into one of their centres to reload software. Haven't come around to do that yet. SO, IR is gone, no removable battery, now I am kinda considering LG 's V20 as they seem to understand users like me much better.

OOSH, 25 Aug 2017Samsung I dont know what you guys did but even though the screen is amazing you played yoursel... moreVery true. But at least they separate the camera and fingerprint sensor with the LED flash and heart rate monitor in the middle. And there is a barrier line between the fingerprint sensor and camera parts. Should be no more problem with camera smudges. But I still hate it anyway. Prefer it lower. But we need to remind ourselves this is a phablet, not a smartphone. It pretty much a smartphone used like a tablet. Meaning you need two hands to use it. Hard to argue with phablet ergonomics.

My issue was the small screen - would have even preferred a 6.5" but this would more than suffice
