“I’m a first-time Samsung user, and
I’m getting the Note8 as its features were highly recommended by my friend and
I like its ability to take notes too as its useful for my industry. I also
waited since the beginning of the year for the Note series as there was so much
hype over it. I last used a HTC so I’m looking forward to see how the phone
performs.” – Roger Foo, 60, Professional in the Building and

Key Product Highlights of the Galaxy
Note8
Note8
- Enjoy and Do More on the Infinity
Display – Featuring a 6.3-inch3 Quad HD+ Super AMOLED
Infinity Display4 that allows users to see more and scroll
less, the Galaxy Note8 has the biggest screen ever on a Note device, yet
its narrow body makes it comfortable to hold in one hand. With the new
Galaxy Note8, users are equipped with more room to watch, read and
draw—making it the ultimate multitasking smartphone.
- A New Way to Communicate with the S
Pen – Since its
introduction, the S Pen has been one of the Note’s defining features. With
the Galaxy Note8, the enhanced S Pen unlocks entirely new ways to write,
draw, and interact with the phone and communicate with friends. It has a
finer tip, improved pressure sensitivity5, and features such as
Live Messaging that enable users to express themselves in ways that no
other stylus or smartphone ever has.
- Better Pictures with Galaxy Note8’s
Best-in-Class Camera – The Galaxy Note8 is
equipped with two 12MP rear cameras with Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS)
on both the wide-angle lens and the telephoto lens. Whether users are
exploring a new city or running around their backyard, OIS allows them to
capture sharper images. For more advanced photo-taking, the Galaxy
Note8’s Live Focus feature lets users control the depth of field by
allowing them to adjust the bokeh effect in preview mode and after they
take the photo.
In Dual Capture mode, both rear cameras
take two pictures simultaneously and allow users to save both images; one
close-up shot from the telephoto lens and one wide-angle shot that shows the
entire background. The wide-angle lens has a Dual Pixel sensor with rapid Auto
Focus, so that users can capture sharper, clearer shots, even in low-light
environments. The Galaxy Note8 is also equipped with an industry-leading 8MP
Smart Auto Focus front-facing camera for sharp selfies and video chats.
