Anyone Getting the "Itch"

Hopefully Oreo works well with our Note8 devices.

Welp, I picked up a Pixel 2, and my Note 8 is currently sitting on my nightstand ATM. I won't give my Note 8 up but right now I am trying the Pixel as my daily phone. I prefer the Note 8s display though for sure. But the software on this Pixel is super light and efficient.

I'm in the same position. I picked up a Pixel 2 XL and while I love the note, I'm liking the software better on the Pixel.

It’s a good phone and not replacing until note 10 is a mind blower

I'm buying pixel 2xl this coming week. Friend giving me a killer price. I love my Note 8 and this is just going to complicate my life. I just can't pass up the deal.

I watched the unveiling tonight - was pretty interested in it. I checked with our local Best Buy - they expect to have display models in in a few days, and Samsung Reps probably will have a test unit in the same time frame.

Snap. Although local shops unsure when they will have them.
Very interested with the camera setup. Might finally get a good shot.

I used to, I would jump to the newest S phone then back to the note but I think this time I'll skip the SO and jump when the Note 9 comes out, I started using the spen alot and I think I would miss it

It would be difficult for me to go the the S variant after having the Note.

.....just bought my first iphone in 5 years......got a great deal on swappa on a brand new "x". will see how it goes, but a couple of quirks on the 8 pushed me over the edge.....namely short SOT and overall size and weight of the phone....

but im surely going to miss my s-pen.....will see how long this lasts.

Going from the Note 8 size to the Iphone X size - that'll take some getting used to - unless you're finding that size works better for you. There's a friend at work he prefers the smaller phones as they're more pocketable.

I'm the opposite - I much prefer the larger ones. Although the Iphone X did look pretty nice whenever I'd go to Sams or Best Buy and see it on display. Here's to some good times ahead for you and the Iphone X.

I've just went from the Note 8 to the Mate 10 Pro and it feels really compact in comparison which it really shouldn't having a 6" screen. I never felt the Note 8 was huge or too big but going to anything else you really feel a difference in size

Gotta say.. im itching like crazy here!

Had my Note 8 for three weeks and today is the last day I can return it. I love it. I think it's amazing. All except battery life.

Yet something keeps drawing me back to an iPhone X. So much so that I went to Apple and bought one on the 14 day policy the other day. Even while I was playing with it in store and subsequently at home, it feels boring and nowhere near as functional as the note 8. So u can't explain what it is that keeps making me feel the pull other than maybe the Apple Watch as I don't think the Huawei Watch 2 I also got is as great and there isn't anyway I'm going to entertain a Samsung smart watch.

Maybe it's the background knowledge that I know Apple will look after me if things to wing compared to Samsung customer service which I've experienced in the past and know to be a complete joke.

Maybe it's the battery life. That's the one downfall I'm experiencing in the note. It's abysmal compared to the iPhone X. I don't feel excited by the iPhone in the way that I do with the note and yet it feels like the sensible, practical choice. Though I also know I'm likely going to feel the same regret if I return the note.

I think maybe I just need help. Lol

It's probably the battery life and I think we all need some help here lol.

no itch I am very happy with my note 8 especially since I got a keyboard that does GIFs in text messages. the note series is the only android device I have ever really liked and been happy with.

What's ironic here is that I live in Los Angeles so I am always in the car and therefore, the phone is always plugged in and charges quickly as I use Android Auto (Which totally destroys Car Play!)

And when I'm at home working, I just shove it on wireless charging or cable connect to my computer, so I can use Side Sync.

Then again, it's the times that I'm away from a charger. A few weeks ago, I had to go to LAX. I left home on 100% but by the time I'd boarded my plane (which involved calling an Uber), a little FB on the phone and just general mucking about, it was half spent!

The iPhone looks and feels so boring in comparison. And when I grabbed it before, the notifications.. urgh! It looked like somebody had vommitted notifications all over it. How can they be so ugly and disorganised? It's crazy. I know that will really wind me up!

I wish it were easy to say that one was better than the other but, no. They're both great and that's what's causing me headaches. I feel like I should go with iPhone even though I know the Note is more exciting. As I say, partly the fear about rubbish customer services with Sam.

First world problems - they're never easy!

You and I are twins in this regard. Knowing all the while that my Note is way more entertaining then my iPhone 8 Plus I still can't force myself to choose the Note. My thing with it is the ecosystem between my iMac and iPad. I love that. But I love all the fun things my Note does too!! Here's what I'm hoping for in all honesty, come September I'm hoping for an iPhone X Plus with freaking real multitasking capabilities, like split screen, picture in picture, etc. Like the rumors are depicting. Then honey, I'm never leaving Apple lol. In the meantime all I can do to appease myself is keep my sim in my iPhone and use my Note on WiFi and Visa versa when I feel like it.

Wish I could decide or keep both! I'm due to return the note today and still on the fence. Whichever decision I make, I'm going to regret it
