Note 4 to Note 8
8 years ago
Going from a Note 4 to a Note 8. What a change. The phone is way more responsive and the transfer from Phone to Phone was a breeze for the most part. I had to reinstall some settings for the Apps that have personally installed, but otherwise it was something that I figured would happen. With the display going Edge to Edge I think it was worth the wait to skip the 5 and also the 7 since it had the battery issue. Hopefully this doesn't have the same issue. :( Only downside that I can see if the non-replaceable battery, but it seems that all phones are heading that way.
Also I have the Pelican Voyager case, and it seems that for the S-Pen you'll need a fingernail to get it out. Perhaps I'll have to get a different case, but since it's new I'll see if I can get used to it. I had the same case for the Note 4 and that had a spot open on it. I'll attach a picture to show you all.
1st picture is Note 4. With the pen area open.
2nd and 3rd is the Note 8 with the pen with the closed area. It's something with the Voyager case.
Hope this helps someone.
Thanks, Jeff

What could have been.
8 years ago
It could have been amazing. It should have been perfection. What it is, is a bit of a disappointment. First and foremost, they removed the ability to adjust the screen sensitivity. Which was a huge mistake. I have actually considered returning the phone due to this fact. Once you put a protective glass on the phone you may as well give up texting. You have to pound your fingers into the phone repeatedly and still end up with the wrong words 90% of the time. This makes written communication beyond frustrating. The second thing that I do not like is the ability to change the battery. Why? This was always a selling point for me when I compared android to iphone. The sales person tried to win me over by explaining the battery on the Note 8 really last. Of course they do when you first buy them. They all do. But talk to me in 2-3 years then the inevitable living off of a charger comes into play. As for everything else, yes it has a lot of bells and whistles that make it nice. But I am not over the moon the way I have been in the past. At this rate, I may begin to look into cheaper but comparable phones. When doing the upgrades companies shouldn't overlook the most important features to their customers. Which for me was the ability to change batteries if needed and of course the ability to text without damaging a finger!

Love the Note series
3 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Have had this phone for a few years but had to get a new one a year or two after getting it cuz I had cracks and chips all over the phone. Gave one star cuz I've had the new phone for about a year and got cracks and chips in it again but the battery already needs to be replaced cuz it takes forever to charge and the battery life doesn't last very long at all but other than that I love my Note8
Yes, I recommend this product.
