Customer reviews of the Note 8

[toenail_flicker]

Interesting... There's probably a thousand different styles, I'm surprised there's nothing there that works for you. You can link the widget to open whatever weather app you want as well. I've been using it since my Motorola Droid X (anyone remember that thing) and found it to be pretty solid. Is there a specific style or something you're looking for?

yeah. just don't move me. looking for something very specific and haven't found it yet. one weather app had a fairly good looking widget with all the info I wanted that handled both my needs, but the app is very annoying so stopped using. I keep trying. I even paid for BW. haven't used it since.

When I'm eating my lunch I use my phone with it sitting on the table. So it's nice to be able to unlock it with a pin so I don't have to pick it up to unlock.

I use mine that way all the time

Isn't there iris scan unlock or facial recognition unlock?

There are both an Iris scan and a facial unlock which is awesome. The Iris scan can be set to use with one or two eyes. I couldn't get it to work with both eyes but have no problems with using just one eye. The facial recognition is easy and works quickly. You can just pick up the phone and hold it in front of you and it unlocks. It's pretty awesome.

The whole phone is a major upgrade from my S7Edge that would constantly freeze in email app. It's easier to hold, although a case is necessary because it is slippery when holding it vertically.

What size GB. Is there different models storage size here in the states.

Here you go bud, this is what's available in the u.s. it says.. wrote on the pic point out two things that I don't think is personally fair !lol

Having to get used to a Note again, but, my only real complaint is the selection of clocks....I don't like them LOL

Look up One More Clock by Xaffron on Play Store... it's also a Widget. I've been using it for probably four years (70 different clocks to pick from!)... if you like it and get the paid version, you have 5 or 6 different SIZE widgets to pick from instead of just one - it's awesome! I just tried to check the price but because I already bought it, it doesn't show me the price - it just says "Purchased"!

This Phone is better than the note 7.. it's amazing! It feels betterin my hand than the s7e

I am truly impressed by the Note 8. I had the Note 7 twice and then the S8. The screen is crisp. The camera is better then ever. I am so happy to have the SPen back.

My quick review from one day of use - Losing the home button from the Note 5 has been an adjustment for me. I have pulled it from my pocket without looking and tried to hit the home button and was hitting the back of the phone. It has the same feel on both sides which I like. Very tall but the screen is awesome. Battery wasn't great but I tried to push it as much as I could, after eight hours of heavy use I have 40% left. I'll end up getting a Mophie case eventually. I haven't used Bixby enough to give a review yet but going to try it out. Very happy with the purchase so far and a big upgrade from my previous Note 5.

I never cared for those. if Sammy's clock widgets suck I'll be doing without again. need better weather (pulled those too) and clock apps and widgets.

I prefer HD Widgets over Beautiful.

Not bad. Kinda like that one. How often can you set it to refresh? That's been one issue with many. Infrequent refresh options.

Can't you change the location of the buttons to your liking example move return to left side, no physical Home button will be a adjustment

Wasn't suppose to be a review but he goes through more in a first impressions than others do in a full review. His full review probably will go an hour.

Not back as in return but I was hitting the back of the phone. Both sides are very slick/glassy feel.
