considering note 8

[currentdroiduser]

Fitst of all thanks guys for recommending the note 4 back in the day. Still have it, but it's slowly wearing down. Kinda like Chef Ramsey every time a chef makes a stupid mistake.

Now onto the note 8. I notice it's bigger than the note 4 can it fit securely in your pocket guys?

Next how is the battery life? Still have ultra power save mode?

Next what current bugs are on this model.

Lastly the camera as good as it looks?

Thanks again, guys. For those of you who have verizon like me, there is a new single smartphone plan for 55 a month before tax.

It is big and the fact that you'll almost certainly need a case only makes it bigger. It'll fit in your pocket but it can feel kind of awkward. I attended a wedding before Christmas and had to leave my jacket on just so I had somewhere to put my phone.

A few people have had bugs, including the phone not coming back on once the battery has depleted and freezing. We have two in our household and both have been nothing short of flawless and they're as smooth as the day we unboxed them.

As for the camera, well I think it's fantastic, easily the best phone camera I've used although the Pixel 2 and iPhone X cameras are supposed to be as good, if not better.

Overall I think it's a fantastic device and as you've used a Note 4 the size shouldn't be that much of a problem. Other phones might do somethings better but as an overall package I'm not sure the Note 8 can be beat.

The battery easily lasts a day, I take it off charge around 6am and at 10pm I have about 30% left with between 4-6 hours screen on time.

I disagree on the size. It fits my pockets just fine. agree with everything else you said.

The camera is pretty awesome. I was at cannon beach on New Years weekend and took some awesome sunset photos that we are going to canvas.

The battery life is okay, I take it off the charger at 7am and at 6pm with medium usage I am at around 40%.

I haven't experienced any bugs. I highly suggest the Microsoft Launcher. It's neat and on the beta version it now has cortana built in. With cortana you can have your texts sent to your windows 10 pc.

Samsung notes is a huge down grade from s-notes. Please check out the forum.

I have the note 8 since launch and zero issues. The phone has been flawless with zero lag and a awesome camera you can't go wrong. The size is perfect not too big and easy to handle.

I've heard really good things about the Note 8. It's a pretty humongous device, in my opinion; but I've heard it's still portable and easy to navigate. With a 3300 mAh battery and a solid camera, I think you'll be pretty impressed! Here is a link to its spec sheet from GSM Arena:

Loved the Note 4. Feel that Note line as been going down since. And I've had all the Notes with the exception of 1 & 7.
