Had a HTC beforehand and it was driving me nuts. After my husband got this phone I wanted one too. I love you can draw on your pictures and do live notes and can sign forms on your phone and send them back rather then printing and scanning them. It's easy to use, battery handles fine if you put the energy saving stuff on and the optimisation is great to make sure your phone is running at it's best.

I have had the Samsung Galaxy note 8 for several months now and I just totally love it and would recommend it to anyone and anyone... I love how it has the pen gadget and that I can write messages in my own hand writing....
This is the best best by far

The device is great, there is no don't about that. I have compared the speed and performance using benchmarking apps and it is a great device.

But, I regret that I purchased the model with curved edges. It's so inconvenient. I'm not sure why they produce these models. The only benefit is that if you skew your eyes you can see more pixels. But anything to do with touching or using S-pen on the curved edge is impractical and a lot of times you do want to touch the edge of webpages. So, if I had a choice I'd go for devices with straight square screens.

there is some bloatware that you don't need
screen is beautiful and the design is great
i don't use the finger print scanner for the finger print unlock so its location doesn't bother me
the battery could be a bit bigger
overall i don't regret buying this phone
was tossing up between this and another sony but at the moment the note 8 is stellar

This Samsung note 8 is beyond my expectation. I got it on a plan from Telstra about 6months ago and I am blown away from its performance. S pen feature is awesome and keeps me productive throughout the day. The display is the perfect size and clarity is breathtaking. Love every bit of this phone. but got to be careful with the glass at the front and the back.

I've always been an iPhone user but this phone has made me addicted to the Android system. So many things can be done on this phone and the camera is excellent! I love the stylish edges it has and the big screen. It's been running very smoothly for the year I have had it. Definitely recommend.

Best features and most amazing phone camera I have come across to date. I won't switch phones until Samsung launch their next amazing creation equivalent to this. I used to be an iPhone sheep until I discovered the wonderful world of Samsung and now I will never go back!! I have converted many people.

This has got to be one of the greatest phones I've ever had the pleasure of not only owning, but using! The screen looks amazing, the speed is amazing, the battery life is amazing!

I go through phones like they're going out of fashion, always selling and upgrading, but now I believe this phone is going to last me many, many years until either it breaks or I break.

If you don't want an iPhone, get a Note 8, you'll never regret it.

This is by far the favorite object I own. It is sleek, efficient, powerful and a true joy to use. I love the extra large display. I don't use my stylist as much as I could but it's useful to have it for signing papers which I need to do fairly regularly as I work away. My partner uses it too.

I've had this phone for about 6 months now and it has been great so far. This phone has a great battery life and I can usually get through a whole day of heavy use without charging it. I also love the big screen and the camera works amazing. I would recommend this phone.

The Note 8 has returned with a vengeance. I have had this phone for 9 months now and it hasn't slowed down a bit. Whatever you do on it it is blistering fast. Photos are amazing and l have even taken pictures under water with it. The battery tends to run down if you use it heavily but plug it in and within 20 minutes it has enough power to see the day through. I recommend this to anyone undecided about biying one, go for it and you will not be disappointed.

Need I say more. It literally is the best phone I've ever had. It's huge its fast it's comfortable. The battery life is amazing. The sound quality is amazing. The photos capture everything. The in built hardware makes the phone fast and it doesn't lag. The s pen saves your life. It is such a user friendly phone.

It's a good phone. Really fast, excellent camera, excellent battery life. In all other respects my S5 was a better phone. You lose some image at the curve of the screen. The fingerprint scanner has trouble reading my print, the retina scanner is completely useless and the facial recognition is useless. Unlocking the screen was so annoying I switched the security off. It doesn't integrate with bluetooth accessories as well as my previous phone. The pen keeps popping out unintentionally. It has a few cool apps I guess, but they are mostly gimmicks - they don't really do anything.

This powerhouse of a unit is most definitely the best phone I have had period! The specs are off tap, with 6gb of ram 6.2 inch screen and stylus, it's the perfect business tool. I use it as a daily driver and when needed can screenshot images, make recommendations and changes with the stylus using the inbuilt app, things normally reserved for the PC. This unit has been discounted in most stores, definitely a must have!

The screen is a nuisance to use...it should be flat there is no advantage in a curved screen ... gimmicky.
I have wasted money on buying screen protectors that do fit well.
Bixby is annoying... cannot get rid if it...never use it ... never will.
My Note 2 was a much better user experience for 6 years...can't wait to finish my contract and buy a better phone ... hating it!!
Hate the curved screen hate Bixby design faults...
Won't buy Samsung again .... very dissppointed

The programming used by the manufacturer makes it easy to use and understand, camera is clear, having 3 security options is excellent, this being your finger print and facial recognition let alone the password, yes you have to remember which finger you used to set it up and the facial expression used and the password used but other than that it is awesome, thanks

Best Phone I have ever used it has great sound and a awesome camara and with 6 rams
The phone is super fast with no slow experience.
Lots of storage with external sd card facility up to 256GB including 64-128GB as well.
The big infinity display is best for watching videos on the phone like Netflix foxtel or catch up tv. The s.pen is great and after watching a lot of hints and tricks on YouTube I was a pro at using the s.pen. I would give it 9 out of 10.
