That thing looks like an ergonomic nightmare.

How old are you? You must be a kid, I have trouble believing an adult would act this way.

That curved edge glare.
How is that not distracting? I'm genuinely curious, maybe Galaxy and Note users can chime in.
That 'glare bezel' is thicker than any bezel you find on a modern iPhone. Makes the screen look even smaller, too.

No that is complete BS. Even my iPad Pro 10.5” with 4 GB of ram cannot keep 10 apps open at once. Usually the max it goes is 5 depending on how ram intensive the apps are. My iPad Air with 1 GB could keep usually a max of 2 apps open on iOS 10, and a lot of times not even that.
I have someone in the household who has an S7 and, while it might have problems in some areas (no more than any other device from my experience), it really doesn’t have a problem with RAM.
I know this an Apple forum and all and a lot people are defensive over their devices that they bought, but at least try to tell the truth.

The edge only glares in photos in real life it isn't a distraction and helps with the aesthetics of the phone
That image stabilisation on the Note 8 looks absolutely fantastic
Oh really? Why did my 1 GB iPhone have to reload pages in Safari when switching back all the time and my S7 Edge with 4GB of RAM doesn't? Literally.
But.. but... he said "...Note8 lets people do things they never thought were possible."
Lol I had an iPhone 6S and one of the most annoying things about an otherwise pretty good device was the ram issue. Constant tabs reloading and constant apps reloading
Freedom of Speech is non-existent to people like you. Since you say I am hyping, you should definitely go by a Note 8 and get to at least have some new experiences and possibilities in your life.
I have done my research by actually using both. How come the 6S is beating the Galaxy S8 with 2GB less RAM? I don't care about how it works, I want it to just work. And that, it does.
Ok, we can agree to disagree.
But it is almost the same phone as the s8 that was released 5 months ago, for a steep price and has to remain competetive for a year until the next note. Technically it is an s8 that was released 5 months ago. And the placement next to the lenses of the fingerprintreader is a pain, face recog and irisscanning are still the same and very receptive to fraud. So feedback of consumers, reviewers have not lead to improvements.
Sorry, not enough.
The g6 vs v30 is not the apropiate equation.
V30 has an oled instead of lcd of the g6, and a snapdragon 835 instead of the older version snapdragon of the g6, a 16mp camera instead of a 13mp and a better aparture, a .3 inch bigger screen, smaller bezels, better bezel ratio, design, etc.
And a rumored price of 699 us.
I think it is a fine improvement over the g6. Other than de note over the s8.
The Note 8 does look cool. I already have my S8+, which I love. The dual camera looks nice tho
Almost any android phone with nougat just works. Most of us that are getting the Note 8 are getting it because it does more than "just work".

I love how people ignore the S-pen features. With the S-pen, its definitely not the same phone. Oh and lets not forget the refined design, less steep curves, dual camera set up that kills the competition, and 6 GB of ram. Also, the flash now separates the camera from the fingerprint reader and the reader has a more defined border so you recognize it without trouble.
Yes, i will mention the s pen then. The dual cam, 2 gigs of extra memory.
And it will cost you 350 dollars more compared to a s8 plus. Sounds like a great deal.
And i have never compared it to an iphone, i compared it to a s8+ in all my previous posts.....
EDIT: Sorry it held 13 of them.
If you were a past note 7 owner, you get a discount up to $425.00 when you trade in a old device. How cost effective is that for you? Most of us past note 7 users can get this discount.

Theres a reason why the s pen has a dedicated slot. I'm sure the apple pencil has a greater chance of getting lost if it wasnt so gigantic like the pre-school fat crayons.
