    Will my Note 8 still work in 2022?
    santo
    over 1 year ago
    The Note 8 shipped with Android 7.1 Nougat and has since been updated to Android 9 Pie, but that's probably where updates are going to stop for the phone. Android Pie does run well on the Note 8, but buying a phone that's already dead-on-arrival for software updates isn't exactly our favorite thing.

    Is Note 8 fully waterproof?
    kenneth.bins
    over 1 year ago
    The Samsung Galaxy Note8 is rated IP68, using the Ingress Protection rating system. The dust rating is 6 (highest level of protection), and the water resistance rating is 8 (water-resistant up to 5 feet for up to 30 minutes). Despite this classification, your device is not impervious to water damage in any situation.

    How long does Note 8 batteries last?
    bruno.okeefe
    over 1 year ago
    It has a 3,300mAh battery, while the Note 7 and S8 Plus have a 3,500mAh power pack. You'll still get all-day battery life, and Samsung's power-saving software tricks can can extend that to slightly over 24 hours.

    Average smartphone owners may get even better battery life. We've used the Note 8 for nearly 24 hours, including over 4 hours of “screen on” time. You'll also notice the phone displays I have over 4 hours of battery remaining. On the left, the app using the most battery is actually the Android system resource.

    Samsung galaxy note 8 can't hear caller?
    ezekiel
    about 2 years ago
    Try to clean the microphone with a compressed air. There might be debris, dirt, or dust stuck in the microphone which block the sound coming in. Not many people know that Bluetooth can also be a cause for audio/sound problem on smartphone. Try turning off the Bluetooth from settings and check if the problem is solved.

    Does samsung galaxy note 8 have ir blaster?
    ben_greenfelder

    Like the Galaxy Note 7, Galaxy S8, and the Galaxy Note 5, the Galaxy Note 8 does not feature an IR blaster. So, if you are upgrading from the Galaxy Note 4 and are used to the IR blaster on the device, you might want to reconsider your decision.

    The Galaxy Note8 both support the Qi and PMA wireless charging standards. So you will just need to purchase a Qi/WPC or PMA charging pad and be able to charge your phone wirelessly.

The next big thing is here and it has more riding on it than ever. The catastrophic Note 7 failure left us without a current Note device for an extended period, and the Note 8 has finally come to right the wrong. Its design follows in the footsteps of the excellent Galaxy S8 earlier in the year (carrying over the gorgeous Infinity Display) but adds a secondary, telephoto camera and the signature S Pen stylus. But with a price hike, is the Note 8 worth it? See what we think in our review!

Its fingerprint scanner is awkwardly placed and its very expensive, but the battery, screen, camera and stylus are the best on the market
