A year later, Samsung has gone page. And it has done great, as it could not be otherwise, with the Samsung Galaxy Note 8, a mobile with few differences compared to the Samsung Galaxy S8, but that makes forget the ill-fated Note 7.
The infinite borderless screen of large dimensions or the dual camera is some of its characteristics.
Features of the Samsung Galaxy Note 8
The sign of identity that has marked the pattern in the mobiles of this year also comes to Galaxy Note 8, that yes, improved. The infinite screen without frames has been optimized by increasing the flat surface thus improving the writing experience. Of course, the curves give way to a somewhat more square design. No physical buttons on the front. The fingerprint sensor returns to the rear, just as in the S8 and S8 + and it got a lot of criticism from the users.
The screen gives the jump to the large dimensions: 6.3 inches, the largest to date in a Note but, above all, a display to create, according to the company itself. Of course, ergonomics remains a priority for the South Koreans and, therefore, the mobile fits in hand without the problem.
Among the features, include:
- Dimensions : 162.5 x 74.8 x 8.6.
- Weight: 195 grams.
- A super AMOLED screen of 6.3 inches, QHD + 2960 x 1440, with an image format of 18,5: 9.
- Processor Octa-core Exynos 8895. 2.3 GHz + 1.7 GHz.
- 6 GB of RAM.
- The internal memory of 64 GB expandable with microSD up to 256 GB.
- Dual rear camera with Dual OIS of 12 MP each with an aperture of f1.7 and f2.4. Camera front of 8 MP with F1.7 aperture.
- Battery: 3,300 mAh. Fast charge and wireless fast charge.
- Two colors in Spain: black and gold. To them, they add gray orchid and blue in other markets.
- Resistance to water and dust, IP68 certified both mobile and S Pen.
- Android 7.1.
- Connectivity : WiFi 802.11 a / b / g / n / ac, Bluetooth 5.0, USB Type C, GPS, NFC, ANT +.

The 18.5: 9 picture format enhances the viewing experience of series and movies or something as common as taking notes. It also has HDR video technology so you do not miss any details.
The multitasking also has special prominence as the big screen provides more space for watching videos, reading or drawing. Also, thanks to App pair, you can create shortcuts to open your combinations of applications on a single screen. You can also create a single icon that runs two apps at the same time they open in multi Ventana.
The DeX Station returns with Note 8, allowing to convert the phablet into a computer, as we saw with the S8 and S8 +.
The cameras are of particular importance in the Galaxy Note 8 giving the images of excellent quality, which has always been a priority for Samsung. In fact, the company did not hesitate to compare the presentation images taken with Note 8 with others made with the iPhone 7 Plus.
Thus, the dual-camera 12 MP with OIS is equipped with a camera with the wide-angle lens that allows photographing even in low light situations. Also, the other camera with telephoto gives an optical zoom with two increases to capture from near and far. Note 8 is the first smartphone on the market to have OIS in the two rear chambers.
Both cameras have an optical image stabilizer that will allow you to say goodbye to the moving pictures, even when zooming. They are the most powerful cameras mounted so far by Samsung on a mobile phone.
Enhanced Pen
The mobile comes with a completely renewed S Pen. With a finer tip, it offers an improved feeling of pressure. The stylus is intended to improve the use of the smartphone, so much that, for example, you will not need to use translators. It will be enough with which signals the text you want to translate and the output language and ready (it has support for 71 languages). The same thing happens with the change of currency or measures.
But the S Pen does not come alone. Thanks to Live message you can draw images and convert them into animated GIFs.
Bixby and Samsung Pay, the protagonists
The new flagship of Samsung could not reach without the two stars of the season: Bixby and Samsung Pay. Thanks to the latter, you can say goodbye to cash, as the mobile phone becomes your wallet. The security in the payments with the phone increases and for that, you can use the iris scanner in addition to the fingerprint to confirm your identity.
