I have a Note 8 in front of me. Ask away.

Does anyone know if the unlocked Note 8 purchased through Best Buy or Samsung directly is dual sim?

Are the speakers stereo, a la iPhone 7? I really like how the ear speaker doubles as a separate channel speaker when playing stereo audio in the iPhone.

Not stereo.

When I held one it was more boxy than the Note 7.

I don't think it felt boxy at all!!

I don't think it felt boxy at all!!

Only reason I say that is because the edge is less dramatic on the Note 8 I feel like.

Does it feel considerably speedier than the S8?

2 GBs of unused RAM won't make it faster. It won't make a difference unless you are pushing it to the limit.

I like it that way. It'll be stunning with various cases too. Nice and solid

Can you view Netflix in a multi window? Say have Netflix and messaging open at the same time?

 

[toenail_flicker]

it's not all apps, but very specific ones. if Netflix is one of them they allow then yes. I don't watch in split screen.

Right. That is what I was asking;if we knew if the note 8 would allow Netflix app to multi task.

how's battery life?

 

[srgonu]

Is there dual SIM support in US?

 

[Muhammad91]

Can you compare it side by side with the One Plus 5?

 

[toenail_flicker]

phone hasn't been released yet. what was available and will be available on this note 8 might be different. try doing a search for previous models. when I watch I watch and don't play

reportedly, not available on carrier models. can't speak to the unlocked version.

Played with a Note 8 today at a Verizon store. I had to take my Daughter's new phone in to solve an activation problem. While I was waiting I tried out a Note 8. They had the phone right next to the S8+ No One Was Hiding the S8+ in this store.

I now have a problem, patience. I really like the shape and size of the Note 8. I like that the phone is a little wider and taller than the S8+. I wish it was the same width as my Note 4 - still not sold on the new aspect ration. I really like that the phone has less curvey corners than the S8 and S8+. Overall I really like the feel of the phone.

I ended up preordering. Loved checking it out in the store. I was more comfortable with it the longer I checked it out. Felt nice n solid

I loved my note 7 and it feels just as good, definitely alot taller.

Wish they sold the new Note 7 in USA. I could put up with the smaller battery to get 16/9 display

 

[recDNA]

Does it have multicolor led notifications like the Note 7?

I found it does not. Apparently there is some way to light up edges for notifications but I don't know if each app will have a different color or even if I am right about edge notifications?
