You are right tsepz , my apologies it seems that I was wrong. Still I don't get how would samsung phones get 4k 60 fps recording as the ones in US are Snapdragon powered. If S8 doesn't get it it may mean that Note 8 has a newer generation of Snapdragon

@rikken and @>500

Please could you kindly confirm the amount of available internal storage ? I know we discußed this in the past but it would be interesting to confirm on a final retail version. Also does Bixby come activated or you have to activate it like on S8 ? I keep mine deactivated - I like having that option . Many thanks

aussie: On my 64 GB the system takes up 10,9 GB. Bixby needs to be activated. I am no fan of Bixby so I have installed the bxActions app and remapped the Bixby-button to activate Do-Not-Disturb.

aussie: today my phone has been off charger for 10 hours and I have 70% juice left. Only 1 hour and 10 min sot due to busy day at work. Will report more later, need a few charging cycles before it is optimised.

interesting review . The Note 8 is as expected an excellent phone. Battery life is though inferior to S8 plus which is a shame. Screen is also slightly less brighten s8 plus but everything ekse is brilliant (incl the Soen an sweet dual camera set up ). I am still on two minds about this phone.

The Note8 OBLITERATES the S8/S8+ at Multitasking! that extra 2GB RAM has made a huge difference, check this out:

This ain't no S8+ with an SPen, this is a whole new league of workhorse, apparently using Samsung DeX with a Note8 is also a big leap in experience.

Having 29 apps open without reloading is impressive however I struggle to see an advantage for a normal user . (Surely this would affect the battery life too)

Note 8 has 2 extra GB of RAM so it was always going to be better at multitasking however I would argue that having 7-8 apps open without reloading like on S8 plus is enough for most users . To me the extra RAM is better at the split screen (running the 2 apps in parallel) and I imagine that the dual camera might be using some extra RAM too (and like tspez said Dex too will probably run better using Note )

Anyway I think it is clear that Note 8 is a better phone than the S8 plus ( to me the dual camera and Spen are more tempting than the number of apps open without reloading ). If it wasn't Samsung wouldn't have charged more than it does for S8 plus. It's just that with S8 plus getting discounts for many it might be a better value for money . Shame it doesn't have a larger battery even though it still seems like the battery life is good enough
