After going up to two people who are hardcore iPhone drones and showing them the note and them drooling over the screen... I want to say that I've have a better appreciation for the Note 8, over the Note 7... The Note 7 [after owning every iteration other than the FE] was a well needed update to that of the Note 5 and the lack of features that it had... But the Note 8 comes with that extra punch, and even though I wanted deep sea blue for mine, the midnight black is doing well, and I can't wait to see what the Note 9 brings to the table.
