i disagree. it needs getting used to, but other than that its ok. i actually prefer it over touchID because it unlocks with a scan, not a "press and scan" like in an iPhone.
They've been all done to death, they're not relevant for the Note 8 and they don't add anything to the debate. It's just at best unfunny, tedious stuff, at worst trolling.
Yes, we read them hundreds of times, the keyword here is "former". Let's move on.
I didn't care about it to begin with (didn't have or planned to buy a Note 7), the advice was for you.
It's not Apple's at all since it appeared on smartphones before Apple did it. And it's different, too, since you can change the aperture (thus controlling the amount of bokeh) and re-focus the shot after you took it. It's really like Huawei's.
These are just imaginary issues.
Very ignorant statement. I use Android phone and iPad, and I prefer Android to iOS (I migrated from iPhone, but still don't see decent alternative to iPad). And by the way, I use Windows on all my macs
That's great. I'm glad you never planned to buy a phone that was rushed to market by a company with poor QA and ended up having an explosive battery. I We are all better off knowing your historical phone choices.
The problem here is that the phone experience is mostly a personal thing.
The hint was in my post. Huawei had the wide aperture effect (in a much more flexible form, as I explained) long before before the 7 Plus. It was introduced with the P9, which was launched in spring 2016. It was well marketed and well sold (over 10 million phones in 2016 alone), just not in the US. Just because it wasn't sold there it doesn't mean Apple had the portrait effect first.
That's like saying the new BMW 5 series is a bad car because people crash cars. It's a non-sequitur.
There are plenty of unlock options offered by Samsung. Face unlock is just one of them, and it works just fine if you lose your phone or it is stolen (they won't have a picture of your face). But if that's the concern, just use the fingerprint reader, or the iris scanner, or the unlock pattern, or an unlock password. It's ridiculous to suggest that if one method which the iPhone doesn't even have, is less secure, while the others are just as secure as Apple's, this somehow makes the Note 8 less secure.
That's just hot air.
No it doesn't. The recent Samsung phones have much better screens, fast charging, microSD slots, better cameras etc. The next iPhone won't beat them either, it will be the same mediocre, overpriced fashion tech product, full of restrictions and limitations, primarily bought to boost self-esteem.
Well you were the one whining about not being able to comment ad nauseum, on the Note 8 thread, about the Note 7 battery issues. The issue has been discussed to death and it's not relevant here.
Nearly two weeks after being unveiled at an event in New York City, and with a week and a half still to go before it launches to customers on September 15, Samsung's Galaxy Note 8 smartphone has received its first batch of reviews posted online today. Many publications marked the Note 8's large 6.3-inch "Infinity Display" as a step forward for Samsung, compared the smartphone's "Live Focus" bokeh effect mode to Portrait Mode on the iPhone 7 Plus, and agreed that the lack of an explosive battery made the Note 8 a solid contender in the smartphone market.
Most reviews touched on comparing the Note 8's new dual rear camera system to that of the iPhone 7 Plus, and Engadget found that each smartphone's bokeh effect largely provides the same finished products, although Samsung's device has the edge in features. Unlike the iPhone 7 Plus, the Note 8 lets you change the blurring effect both before and after the picture has been taken, so that if the effect is too enhanced, it's easy to dial back a UI toggle and find a happy-medium spot where the Live Effect looks better.
On the other hand, in the camera's UI and in the rest of the Note 8's operating system, Engadget noted that anyone who purchases a Note 8 will have to struggle with "a little software strangeness" in the Android smartphone.
PC World called the Note 8 "the best phone Samsung has ever made, bar none," praising the smartphone's display, fast wireless charging, and 6GB of RAM. The site said that the new Samsung smartphone is "at least as fast as any Android phone" that it has used, as well as the iPhone 7 Plus.

Apple approach to limit users as much as possible is not for me and jailbreak is pretty much dead, so there is no way to fix it.
