Samsung Galaxy Note 8

The Galaxy Note 8 features a 6.3-inch QHD+ Super AMOLED Infinity Display bearing 1440x2960 pixels resolution with a pixel density of 521ppi and 18.5:9 aspect ratio. It's worth noting that the default resolution set for the Note 8 is FHD+ and users need to go to the setting for changing it to QHD+. Following the design language of all the previous phones in the Note series, perhaps the main factor that makes them a 'Note,' this one also has a dedicated Stylus 'S-Pen' housed at the side of the bottom in its chamber. The S-Pen is capable of running a slew of functions and enables smooth functioning of certain tasks. Under the hood, the Galaxy Note 8 is powered by Samsung's proprietary Exynos 8895 processor that has four cores clocked at 2.3GHz and four cores clocked at 1.7GHz, coupled with 6GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage, which is expandable up to 256GB via microSD card in a Hybrid SIM-slot. On the software front, the phone runs Android 7.1.1 Nougat with Samsung's custom Experience UI on top.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 packs 12MP+12MP dual rear camera setup, which is complemented by Dual OIS (optical image stabilization), wide-angle lens, Dual Pixel autofocus, and f/1.7 aperture. The secondary 12MP sensor in the setup is a telephoto lens with f/2.4 aperture, 2x optical zoom, and is responsible for rendering depth-of-field effects like Bokeh. There is an 8MP autofocus camera on the front with f/1.7 aperture. A 3,300mAh battery completes the package with support for Quick Charge 2.0 compatible with WPC and PMA Fast Charging standards. It also supports wireless charging, which can be utilized with Samsung's wireless charging pad. 

The flagship is geared with connectivity options such as 4G VoLTE, dual-band Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac (2.4GHz and 5GHz), GPS/ A-GPS, NFC, Bluetooth 5.0, 3.5mm headphone jack, and a USB Type-C port. The phone includes a slew of sensors such as an accelerometer, ambient light sensor, heart rate sensor, barometer, gyroscope, Iris sensor, RGB light sensor, proximity sensor, and digital compass. The phone is IP68-certified and so is the S-Pen, both are capable of immersion in up to 1.5 metres of water for approximately 30 minutes.
