Samsung N950F Galaxy Note8 (Midnight Black) unlocked

So, I'm gonna be honest here - when I saw the price of the Note 8 I thought it was completely overpriced and not worth the money for what I thought was essentially an S8 Plus with an S Pen, but that honestly isn't the case here. The Note 8 really isn't an S8 Plus with an S Pen, are they simular? Definitely - but the differences (no matter how small they are) make a world of difference between these phones. I'll go into detail with some of the differences: Dual Camera - This camera(s) is phenomenal - I'd go as far to say it's the best camera you can get on a smartphone right now - Samsung have done their magic once again to bring professional looking photos and videos to this device and they look incredible. The live photo feature (which uses the telephoto lens) is amazing, all the photos I've taken using the mode have turned out to look like a photo a professional photographer would take. The dual cameras also both have OIS and this seriously improves video recording (especially when zoomed in) compared to earlier models which often struggled due to Samsung using both EIS and OIS. And finally, the zoom - well, it does what it's meant to do. The 2x optical zoom works incredibly well and doesn't lose any detail at all compared to if this was digital zoom. So overall, if you love taking professional-looking photos and videos on your phone then you'd love what this phone has to offer. S Pen - As useful as it's ever been, especially if you're using it for work. The last Samsung Note I had was the Note 3, and at the time I was impressed with the S Pen. But now I'm even more impressed with what the S Pen is capable of, quickly writing notes when the screen is off, creating animation, translating text, making GIFS and of course converting hand writing to text. The S Pen certainly isn't needed for most, but when you have it then trust me - you won't go back. The display - Forget the iPhone X, THIS is the smartphone with the best display I've ever seen and used. The technology is super sharp and the colour vibrancy is incredible thanks to the AMOLED technology Samsung uses. And thanks to the near bezel-less design it's a joy to use a screen of this size because it's in such a trim body. These are only a few of the changes but trust me there are plenty more including the super bright display, all day battery life and so much more. Now I'm gonna answer a few questions you may be asking: Is the finger print sensor uncomfortable to use because of its location? No, surprisingly not. Now obviously this is debatable because everyone has different preferences but with my experience using the finger print sensor is very easy, in fact I've compared it to a friend's S8 Plus and the Note finger print sensor seems to be easier to reach for some reason. Could it be in a better place? Definitely, lower down on the back would be preferable or located within the display however Samsung probably can't do this due to size constrains with the internals of the device. So yes it is useable however it could be in a better place - but I'm just grateful Samsung didn't axe it like another premium smartphone did *cough cough*. The battery, how long does it last for? Ok so I've had it for 2 days now, and at the end of each of those days even after using the phone constantly (8 hours screen time) it still had battery left! The battery inside this is incredibly optimised and you should have nothing to worry about getting through a full working day - in fact depending on how you use it you might even get 2 days out of it. What's the speaker like? It's good, nothing too special but it is good. I would've preferred stereo speakers but again with everything crammed into this phone it may not be possible yet. The speaker does get quite loud and you'll have no problem using it for music while you're in the shower or just for music in the background. Is the size too big? Personally I think the size is just right, any bigger and it would be too big. But then again some people may find it a bit big - I think the nearest comparison I can think of for this phone is the iPhone 6/7/8 Plus, it is about the same size as that. So if those phones are too big for you then this won't be the phone for you. What's the call quality like? Fantastic, the phone speaker is crisp and can get very loud if you need it. What's the face recognition and Iris scanner like? Honestly I think they're just gimmicks - they do work however the process of using them to unlock your phone is painfully slow, takes at least 3x the amount of time it would take for you simply to put your finger on the fingerprint sensor. Hopefully Samsung improves on these because I can see them being used in the future, they're just not ready yet. Note 8 vs iPhone X? Note 8 definitely, it has a load more features than the X, costs significantly less than the X and comes with all the peripherals you need in the box (unlike the X where Apple are literally charging you for everything). Not only that but after seeing videos of people using the X it just looks complicated which is weird since Apple has always been about simplicity - everything you do now requires some sort of gesture that looks very time consuming, meanwhile Samsung keeps all the required buttons for you to get around the platform quickly and smoothly. Note 8 vs LG V30? Now this is the tricky one, the LG V30 launches next month and is rumoured to be cheaper than the Note 8 however this isn't confirmed yet. Judging from what I've seen they're both great phones and they're both superior to the iPhone X in my opinion. If I could only choose one it'll be the Note 8 because the phone simply has everything - from great post-launch support by Samsung to the incredible uses the S Pen has to offer. Don't get me wrong the LG V30 has some great stuff including the wide-angle dual camera and quad DAC headphone jack - it's just the 'spark' seems to be missing from the V30 in my opinion - however until the phone releases I can't say anything else on it. So overall the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 out-shines pretty much every other smartphone that's currently available, and with close competition such as the LG V30 and iPhone X incoming, I still can't seem taking away the Note's position. The Galaxy Note 8 may not feel like a generational leap from the S8 Plus, but it feels like it's in a different league compared to the competition. When I ordered this phone I was worried that I was getting ripped off as it cost so much, however I can safely say now that I certainly wasn't getting ripped off. This phone is the best phone you can buy right now, if you're on the fence like I was then just order it - trust me - after a few days you'll wonder why you were even doubting purchasing it in the first place. 5 stars.

The note 8 is an amazing phone! I got this phone from SmartTech Store and it came within 5 days, 1 day earlier than the date provided. The note 8 is a beautiful device with glossy glass on the front and back. The phone feels comfortable in the hand and if you're used to big phones such as the sd edge plus, the fingerprint scanner placement won't be a problem! The dual camera is amazing and that live focus is easy to use. Bixby vision is useful if you want to find something similar to what you're looking at but not so much for finding it to buy. The iris scanner is quick and accurate, the fingerprint scanner is very snappy and unlocks without having to press the power button first. Battery life is average but that is expected because of the massive screen! the s-pen is quite useful for translating things on web pages and is good for making off-screen notes such as shopping lists. The screen is amazing, it is so bright and big and the bezels are quite small. Software is easy to navigate and use, it has tutorials for features that you haven't used yet which is useful if you don't know about the new updated software features and gestures. Speaking of gestures, the fingerprint scanner can also be used to pull down and push up the notification bar so that's a nice little trick. The front camera is amazing and captures many details in pictures. Overall this phone is very great and if you want a seller that is trustworthy and sells the real deal, go for SmartTech Store, they have great reviews and the did deliver a genuine European galaxy note 8

Without a shadow of a doubt, THE best galaxy phone ever and most probably, THE best smartphone to date. Far faster than the recently released iPhone X in speed checks, loading of apps, multitasking etc. This phone really excels in the multitasking department. Load several apps in succession and use 2 at same time with multi window. The camera is just outstanding and with the 2x optical zoom, this makes such a difference. With the super amoled screen and 6.3" 18:5 layout, this really shows off photos and apps to their best. Super fast charging means less time plugged in too. Phone is a bit on the large size compared to the far more ergonomically designed Galaxy S8 but then you enjoy the screen size when watching movies and forget about it very quickly. S Pen is such a great attribute, allowing freelance cutting of items on screen. Screen off memo and a whole host of S Pen functions really make this phone truly superb and more than worth the hefty price tag. Definitely get a Samsung Dex Station to complement your purchase. This turns your galaxy S8, S8+ or Note 8 into basically, a desktop computer while charging the phone at the same time, also allows for phone calls, messages and all the usual smartphone functions. I purchased a wireless foldable keyboard with built in track pad. Treat yourself to the latest smartphone and enjoy the benefits that owning a Note 8 will bring. Just remember to purchase a decent protective case to keep your valuable purchase safe.

good

Un teléfono estupendo y la entrega también

Que decir, siempre he tenido el Galaxy note desde mi iphone 4 y no tengo quejas. Solo tengo un pero y es que el puerto de carga a las 10 meses detectaba continuamente humedad sin haberlo mojado y en el servicio técnico de Samsung, al estar en garantía, me lo cambiaron en un par de horas. La cámara y la pantalla, lo mejor de este móvil y el rendimiento, espectacular. La batería, me dura 1 día completo, como cualquier móvil con android y uso intensivo diario.

Espectacular movil. Compré el Italiano y muy sencillo, pones tu tarjeta Española y listo. Ningún problema en ningún sentido. Lo recomiendo sin duda.

La confezione di questo Galaxy Note 8 è abbastanza completa. E’ presente il cavo USB Type-c, il caricatore con la presa al muro, il device, la manualistica, la spilletta per rimuovere le SIM, le cuffie in-ear e le punte di ricambio per la S Pen. Design e display Il design di questo Galaxy Note 8 riprende le linee viste già su Galaxy S8/S8+, ma risulta più squadrato. Il device è realizzato in vetro e alluminio. Nella parte frontale campeggia il grande display dual edge in 18.5:9, mentre nella parte superiore troviamo la fotocamera frontale e i vari sensori. Il retro è in vetro, con la doppia fotocamera posta al centro, con affianco il sensore di battiti cardiaci e il lettore di impronte digitali. Sul lato sinistro abbiamo il tasto per accendere/spegnere il dispositivo e il bilanciere del volume. Sul lato destro abbiamo il tasto Bixby. In fondo abbiamo l’ingresso USB Type C, il jack da 3,5 mm, lo speaker e l’alloggio per la S Pen. Il display è un’unita da 6,3″ pollici Super AMOLED con risoluzione QHD+ con neri perfetti e bianchi resi bene, contrasto nero bianco perfetto, i colori sono accessi e vivaci, ma rimango molto naturali. Luminosità altissima, che rende ben visibile il display anche all’aperto. Il display è uno dei punti di forza del device. Hardware, connettività, batteria La scheda tecnica del Galaxy Note 8 è da device di fascia alta. Troviamo infatti: Dimensioni di 162.5 x 74.8 x 8.6 mm Peso di 195 grammi Display da 6,3″ pollici Super AMOLED con risoluzione QHD+ Corning Gorilla Glass 5 CPU Exynos 8895 octa-core con frequenza massima di 2.3 GHz 6 GB di RAM 64 GB di memoria interna espandibile Fotocamera posteriore doppia da 12 MP + 12 MP con apertura focale f/1.7 e dual flash LED Fotocamera anteriore da 8 MP con apertura focale f/1.7 Connettività 4G LTE, VoLTE, dual SIM, Wi-Fi a/b/g/n/ac dual band, Bluetooth 5.0, GPS, A-GPS, GLONASS, BDS, GALILEO Batteria da 3300 mAh Android 7.1.1 Nougat con Samsung Experience Altro: lettore di impronte digitali, scansione dell’iride, rilevamento facciale, S Pen, sensore battiti cardiaci. La batteria è da 3300 mAh, che ci consentirà di arrivare a sera senza troppi problemi. Software e prestazioni generali Galaxy Note 8 monta Android 7.1.1 Nougat con l’interfaccia Samsung Experience 8.5. Completissimo il software del dispositivo, come in tradizione Samsung, che si distacca molto dal software stock di Google, ma che comunque rimane davvero piacevole da utilizzare e ricco di funzioni aggiuntive. A livello di navigazione Web, non ci sono problemi con il browser stock di Samsung, che non vi farà rimpiangere Chrome. Visitare i siti internet risulta piacevole. Per quanto riguarda l’ambito gaming non ci sono assolutamente problemi grazie al processore davvero molto potente e il display davvero eccezionale. Le prestazioni sono ottime in ogni circostanza, anche se in sessioni di gaming prolungate la batteria calerà in maniera vistosa. Presente la barra di navigazione soft touch per muoversi all’interno dei menù, come già visto sui precedenti Galaxy S8/S8+. Ma la peculiarità di questo Note 8 è sicuramente la S Pen, utilissima soprattutto per chi utilizza lo smartphone per la produttività. A corredo della S Pen troviamo tantissime applicazioni utili a sfruttarla appieno, come ad esempio la possibilità di prendere note direttamente sullo schermo spento. Ovviamente non mancano anche app più semplici e carine, come Live Messagge che vi darà la possibilità di realizzare gif animate. Multimedia: speaker e fotocamera La capsula auricolare è molto buona, quindi non avremo il minimo problema, grazie ad un audio forte e chiaro. Lo speaker è abbastanza potente, con una qualità alta e risulta molto buono nelle chiamate in vivavoce. Per quanto riguarda il comparto fotografico, Galaxy Note 8 ha una doppia fotocamera posteriore da 12 + 12 MP e dual flash LED e una fotocamera anteriore da 8 MP. La fotocamera posteriore restituisce ottimi scatti, molto rapida la messa a fuoco e lo scatto. La doppia fotocamera ci permette di effettuare uno zoom ottico 2x senza perdere qualità. Presente la funzione Live Focus, che ci permette di realizzare il classico effetto bokeh. Ottima la fotocamera anteriore con autofocus, che restituisce ottimi selfie. Molto completa l’app della fotocamera. Vi lasciamo qui sotto qualche scatto che abbiamo realizzato per voi! Conclusioni Galaxy Note 8 è un dispositivo sicuramente valido, ben realizzato e prestante. La SPen è uno dei punti di forza del device, soprattutto per chi cerca uno smartphone votato alla produttività. Il display e la doppia fotocamera sono dei valori aggiunti non da poco. Il dispositivo ha un prezzo di listino elevatissimo, 999€, un prezzo sicuramente molto elevato, ma online lo si può già trovare a prezzi inferiori. Una delle poche pecche riguarda l’ergonomia, infatti il device è grande e abbastanza scivoloso, perciò è consigliato l’utilizzo di una cover. Un dispositivo sicuramente consigliato per chi voglia uno smartphone bello, prestante e produttivo.
