Love my Note 8 but it is not sufficient for taking notes in my consulting projects (narrow, curved-edge screen). Picked up a Mate 20X and M-Pen. Expensive, but a terrific note-taking device. I've now use it in two week-long projects, and taking notes in One-Note is great. The 20X has a 5000 MAmp battery and seems to last forever. The M-Pen, on the other hand, dies after one 10-hour day of note-taking (picked up a spare). Really miss the Wacom technology with no power required for the pen. Back home for a week, and back to the Note 8. I'll need to decide if I want to stay with the Note 8 as a phone and use the 20X for note-taking, web-browsing, and media.
