Samsung Galaxy Note 8 (SM-N950F) - SIM-Free Smartphone - 64GB - Midnight Black

Product Information

We've tested the Note 8 for many months and it's even more interesting today thanks to the new Deep Sea Blue color that came out post-launch in the US and UK, and the big Android Oreo update that it got. As with some previous Samsung handsets, the processor comes in two flavours depending on your region.

Some people prefer the more realistic colours of IPS, but we love the saturated, vibrant colours and deep, rich blacks of AMOLED. Front Camera Features Auto Focus HDR Screen Flash Gesture Shot Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) Panorama Selfie Face Detection 1.is preferred), the Note 8 produces wholly accurate colours across the board, even if images are a tad overexposed.

In the box, you get a bunch of accessories: AKG-branded earbuds, two different USB adapters, and various S Pen nibs. Google Assistant is on board too, living alongside Bixby, Samsung's own virtual assistant that's only just launched properly in the UK.Samsung offers Auto, Pro, Panorama, Slow motion, Hyperlapse, Food, Virtual shot and an option to download more.

Both phones are narrower than you would expect, given the curved edges, which makes them surprisingly comfortable to use in a single hand. Maybe a tiny bit less, but we still don’t like its off-center rear location for the same reason: we keep blindly smudging the far-too-close dual-lens camera. lets the phone pair with multiple headsets at once, or headsets and speakers, while the standard headphone jack accepts wired headsets.
