Samsung Galaxy Note 8 specifications
The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is an Android phablet smartphone developed, produced, and marketed by Samsung Electronics. It was unveiled on 23 August 2017 and became available on 15 September 2017 in some markets, and on 22 September 2017 in Australia.
The Galaxy Note 8 improves on the core device specifications and S Pen features of earlier devices. It retains the same overall look and approximate size of the Galaxy S8+ but features an upgraded processor and a dual-camera system on the rear of the device. The S Pen has enhanced pressure sensitivity (4,096 distinct levels of pressure) and its software has been upgraded to offer improved note-taking capabilities on the always-on display, as well as animated GIF and improved translation features. The screen can collect up to 100 notes and allows users to easily navigate their notes directly on the always-on screen.
The Galaxy Note 8 provides various levels of biometric authentication, with the highest level of authentication from the iris scanner and fingerprint reader. It is equipped with a non-user-replaceable 3300 mAh battery with up to 15 W using Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0. The device has a 6.3-inch 1440p Super AMOLED display with curved edges similar to the Galaxy S8, but with a slightly more flat and boxy surface area. It is Samsung's first phone to feature a dual-lens camera system, which comes with a 12 MP wide-angle lens with an f/1.7 aperture and a 12 MP telephoto lens with an f/2.4 aperture.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 received an Android 8.0 "Oreo" update on 30 March 2018, followed by an update to Android 9 Pie on 26 February 2019.
