Help me understand, is the Note 8 a niche device?

So, in your opinion, the Note series is indeed in it's own category, then?

Absolutely. There's no other phone that offers the versatility and functionality of the Note line. That's not to say there aren't other great phones out there, it's just that the Note can do everything they can, but they can't come close to doing what the Note can

Almost verbatim what I said today in an iPhone/Note conversation at Att. If u wanna compare the iPhone to the S line, go for it. The iPhone is an awesome device. But the SPen puts the Note in a league of its own IMO. I told him about the dual camera, 2 gb more ram, the updated SE software PLUS all the extra functionality the SPen brings. Glance, magnify, translate, precision. The Note is definitely more than an S8 with a pen. So sure, go ahead and compare it with other flagships. But IMO, the SPen pushes it over the top each and every time.
