Samsung Galaxy Note 8 (SM-N950F) - SIM-Free Smartphone - 64GB - Midnight Black

Product Information

Be warned that the camera will not shoot at the maximum resolution in Full-screen Capture mode, limiting your snaps to 7. In our test shots of St Pancras from our seventh-floor roof terrace the Note 8 managed to capture every little detail, right down to the individual bricks and street names at ground level. But it would have been good to include a little silica gel packet to absorb any moisture during transit, in the box. We and our partners also use cookies that allow us to measure traffic and show you personalised content and ads rather than basic shiz. thicker than it was on the Note 7 – which in smartphone terms is actually rather a lot – and the battery’s capacity has been reduced from 3,500mAh to 3,300mAh.

There’s also no camera bump, and that gaudy Samsung logo has been moved to the rear, no longer staring you in the face.Two weeks of testing has us convinced: this is a true redesign of your average smartphone from top-to-bottom, edge-to-edge, and rear camera to, well, rear camera.

Samsung estimates about 22 hours of mixed usage on maximum settings, jumping to 27 hours with the screen resolution turned down and the always-on display setting off. Those who are willing to pay more for the best smartphone they can get their mitts on already know exactly where to turn. App Pairs is a helpful addition and an extension of Multi Window, allowing you to display two apps on the screen at the same time, but by tapping a single icon. This is likely down to its inclusion of 6GB of LPDDR4 RAM, because in other respects performance is very much on par with the 4GB RAM Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+.Other Samsung phones that support dual window and edge swiping may get this feature in the future, the company said. All the usual Samsung features are present, including: Smart Stay, which keeps the screen switched on while you’re looking at it; One-handed mode, which reduces the size of the display to make use in one hand easier; fingerprint sensor gestures; the ability to quick launch the camera with a double-tap of the home button; Smart capture, which offers additional options such as crop and extended capture after taking a screenshot; Easy mode; and Dual Messenger, which lets you use two accounts on apps such as Facebook.
