2017 was a year full of surprises in technology. An important place among the new products is rightfully occupied by the bright and functional "frameless" smartphone Samsung Galaxy s 8 note.
Samsung galaxy note 8. Review
We can say that it is “stuffed” to the eyeballs with all the chips that the mobile market can offer, but it still remains the flagship only for a certain niche of users. With high performance, important to any technologist, this android smartphone is both a status gadget for a businessman and an excellent option for a creative person. Separately, I would like to note a very large screen (even if it is S-AMOLED with insanely bright colors) and, of course, a digital pen - a stylus. Do not forget about such flagship features of the top Galaxy as a fingerprint scanner, a pulse counter and an iris scanner.

Comparison of samsung galaxy s8 and note 8 does not make much sense, since s8 has a diagonal of 5.8 inches, better compare note8 and s8 +, which is similar in other characteristics to s8. So, we have two excellent flagships with a large screen, but the note8 is even larger, 6.3 versus 6.2. Also note8 has a dual camera and a more recent version of Android. However, the s8 + has a bigger battery (3500 mAh).
Another option similar in characteristics is Xiaomi Mi MIX 2. The filling of the Chinese novelty is powerful, but the price is more democratic. In terms of characteristics, it loses to the display (2160 × 1080), the screen size is smaller than that of the note8 - 5.99 inches. There is only one camera, and the front camera is weaker - 5 megapixels. There is no retina scanner and pulse counter. The battery is almost the same, 3400mAh. Fresh operating system Android 7.1.1 + MIUI 9.1.2.
Concluding our short review, one cannot fail to mention the Apple Iphone 8. So, who will “win the battle” Iphone 8 vs samsung galaxy note 8? 2 GB of RAM versus 6 GB. Screen resolution 1334 × 750 versus 1440 × 2960, diagonal 4.7 versus 6.3. Battery 1821 mAh vs 3300 mAh. Same performance for the main and front cameras, with the difference that Samsung has two main cameras. For me, Samsung is the winner, but the Iphone will always have its loyal connoisseurs who will not exchange it for another manufacturer.
Samsung Galaxy note8 is a great device for those who literally live in their smartphone and know what to do with it.
