Really? Why would I go to a Samsung rumor site to talk about Apple. That would be just as dumb as if I went to a Nikon website to talk about my Canon gear. I have neither the need nor the desire to bash another company that I have no interest in.
Got a tip for us?

Samsung Reveals Galaxy Note 8 With Dual Rear Cameras and 6.3-Inch AMOLED 'Infinity Display'

Our Samsung rep brought his into the store today for the livestream... claims of superior OIS are not exaggerated: both lenses appear to have it, and side-by-side with my 7+ there was no competition. “Depth” mode was extremely similar, both better than the Moto Z2.
But you're okay with Apple:
- making money the same way with targeted iAds?
- selling Google search first place on iOS in return for billions of dollars each year?
- making money by selling to your own banks, access to you and your purchase info?
While we're on the topic, apparently you're quite okay with selling your digital maidenhead to sites like this in return for free usage. Why don't you contribute instead so they don't have to support themselves off ads. Or do you just like to freeload when you think you're anonymous?
And you're saying you never use Google Search, Maps, YouTube, GMail or any other Google service?
Well apparently someone been bashing from previous post talking about samsheep. Before you post anything else, you should read that person's post. How the hell did you join up this conversation? Stay off of it. Samsung is relevant to this site.
No, it's handy for this thing called "real" multitasking or if you want more than 5 tabs open in your browser at the same time.
As others have already said, the hardware is great. The software is good - but too needy and fragmented. As an example, leaving your phone over night does not warrant waking up to 30 inane notifications of things that don't matter to the average user.
I've got a Galaxy S7 and its a brilliant handset but ruined by Android. I've moved back to iPhone 7 and iOS.

Curious, what "inane" notifications are you referring to?
I personally disable all but the ones I actually want on both my iPhone and my S4.
I'm pretty sure Samsung could buy the same Sony tech if the felt the need to
I doubt I'll buy this because I bought an unlocked S8+ a few months ago. If I do buy the Note 8, it will be the unlocked version again. I'm done buying iPhones since Apple started in with disallowing apps that block ads in apps using VPNs. At least I can still put what I want on my Android phones.
There are two types of people in this world, one that would choose to enjoy quiet fancy dinner that might not fill you up and those who choose the noisy all you can buffet where you can scope anything you like and as much as you like onto your plate. There isn't wrong choice, but that's how I view iPhone vs Android.
I'm not familiar with this - any chance you could post or even PM me a link to info on that?
It does feel like we are approaching the final form factor for the phone as we know it, doesn’t it?
Can I get some proof of this?
I’m aware they are charging banks a small percentage in regards to Apple Pay, but not aware of them selling access of customers purchasing information.
The only phone with a capable EMR stylus with 4096 pressure levels of sensitivity. The Note 8 is in a superior category by itself. I would call it a SuperPhone. You really shouldnt compare anything to it since those other phones will always be missing the feature that sets this device apart....the S-pen.

I agree and as long as Samsung is making about half of the iphone or more, the iSheep shouldnt even try to complain. Samsung is literally building that device.

Which type of restaurant is the Apple model where they incessantly annoy you with update dialogs that you don't want? And once you do the food keeps coming out slower and slower to the point you give up.
In other words, the Samsung Note 8 is the worst SuperPhone on the market.
its actually the best since its the only phone in its true respected category.
"Literally" means for real. You got your hands on a Note 8 w/6GB RAM so you can compare the two first-hand or you're just blowing crap out your butt? I'm guessing the latter...

On iPhones? Pretty darn soon...

So your "quiet fancy dinner" with your iPhone would include a menu of 3 chicken dishes, all pretty much identical, plus a menu item for yesterday's leftover chicken dish. And the special for tomorrow is another chicken dish, dressed up like Turkey. Oh, and no substitutions...the restaurant is in total control on what you order and what your side dishes can be.
There is a steak dish, but the steak has been frozen for over 4 years and hasn't changed on the menu since then.
Samsung software is so good, I would literally rather use an iPhone 6 than this.
As far as SuperPhones go, the Samsung Note 8 is merely average.
