Wonder if the Blue international version in 128GB will work on Straight Talk. Need the AT&T bands.

The 6GB of ram is nice, I have an S8+ and don't really need the stylus so I don't see myself upgrading. I've had the Note 4,5 and 7 and was really looking forward to the 8. It does look like a nice phone but I just don't see enough improvements over the S8+ to upgrade. This seems like a no brainer for those on a Note 5 or S7.

Why worse battery than S8+? That`s disappointing.

Does anyone know if this has the same aspect ratio of the GS8 and GS8+ meaning you'll get black bars on the sides when watching videos or playing games?

Yes, it is unfortunately!

Had to make room in the case for the S-Pen, is all we can tell!

This spec list COMPLETELY IGNORES the decoding & playback of Hi Rez audio files!

I sort of wish US could have 128 GB internal storage option.

It's better than the permanent blacks bars (aka top and bottom bezels). At least you have more real estate for everything else. This issue has been blown WAY out of proportion IMO.

Looks to be a smidge wider than my S8 and I get my S-pen back... ♥

I just hope the typing on the keyboard is better. I get a lot of missed keys (using the stock and swiftkey keybaords). I've had to blow the size up to maximum to lessen the mistakes. :-/

I have the S8 also and get quite a few keyboard mistakes. I hope that with a bigger screen the icon/words don't stay tiny.

Will be a welcome change for me from the S7 Edge that I haven now because I had to send back the note 7 of course and was given the S7 Edge. I've been anxiously awaiting this all year!!

Does this phone have band 11 for T-Mobile?

I can't wait til the note is released and the amount of note 8 that have been sold is announced. I'm just curious how many they will sale. Sorry if wrong place. Didn't know which topic to put it in.

Don't know how well it will sell. After unpacked event a lot of you tube reviewers seemed underwhelmed. Many referred to it a S8+ with spen.

Who knows. Time will tell I guess

It's an S8+ with an s- pen, for an extra $ 200.00. Lol
