The truth about the Galaxy Note 8! #Helpful Post

you guys johnathan here and I'm gonna

save the Galaxy Note 8 is getting way

too much hate like way too much now by

far the biggest critique and shot fired

I've seen taken against no date is that

as an overhyped si+ with an S Pen a dual

camera for some reason a slightly

smaller battery more RAM and I'm not

gonna lie at the no dative and I

jokingly called it an s8 plus plus my

reacting to the si plus but you're

acting - I'm sorry

in actuality though that really isn't

the case yeah you are paying more for

the know date but that is because you

are getting more - the battery if we're

to break this down into its simplest

form no one's gonna yell at a

cheeseburger for being a glorified

hamburger are they similar yes but you

know the difference and you have no

problem paying extra because it's an

option same thing it to pull a you want

guac you are ponying up the cash and I

guess in some strange way what I'm

trying to say is spen equals avocado

ultimately in some weird way Samsung has

almost kind of screwed themselves by

having too many options if we're being

honest the only reason Samsung's Plus

models exist is to compete with Apple

and their plus model phones

for simplicity's sake imagine there was

no s8 plus just the s8 that was their

smaller flagship and then in turn we had

to wait for the note 8 as they're bigger

flagship conversely after what happened

last year Samsung could have easily

killed off the note lineup and brought

the s kind of over to the si plus but

something about that really just

wouldn't have felt right because

ultimately what makes a note of note is

the S Pen and that's how it's always

been

so mini right outside actually you

really like to notate and by far what

stands out to me most of this of course

is that giant beautiful display it is

big and it is beautiful this here is a

6.3 inch display and again it's not much

bigger than the s8 plus which sizes in

at six point two inches but the thing we

got to get out of our heads

is that displays between the note 8 and

the s8 plus are not gonna be deciding

factors again it comes down to the S Pen

to the dual cameras but regardless Note

8 has a beautiful display you guys know

I love what Samsung did with their and

finish this place not only does it look

fantastic just simply using the phone

but of course consuming media with it

looking at photos video and on top of

that aesthetically I think it takes

these phones to the next love and

honestly I think so far they're the best

looking phones of this year your move

next Apple now specs wise one thing that

separates no date from the s 8 + + S 8

for that matter is Ram this is packing

six gigabytes in the side which makes

sense because Note has always kind of

been known as that multitasking machine

speaking of multitasking being able to

use multiple apps simultaneously in

separate windows isn't new but what is

is the ability to create app pairs so

instead of opening an app running

through the process every single time

you can actually pair up apps that you

use most frequently and from there it is

only one step and I think that is

awesome

switching gears one weird thing spec

wise with a note 8 again is battery

capacity not only is it smaller than

last year's Note it's also smaller than

the s8 plus which kind of leaves you

scratching your head the note 8 is a

bigger phone whether it's just barely

bigger it is still bigger so the fact

that it has a smaller battery really

doesn't make sense and again as much as

a notice kind of been synced up with

multitasking I think the note has been

synonymous with big battery life so I

can see why people will be upset here

past that though I think there are

still a ton of enticing elements with no

date and there's not a whole lot you can

complain about you have USBC a headphone

jack quick charging wireless charging

water resistance micro SD card expansion

overall it is a really solid package so

from there I think we all know it s-pen

is about what it can do so I first want

to focus on the dual cameras because

that is what really impressed me you

have dual 12 megapixel sensors a

wide-angle lens and then a telephoto

lens what what makes us really special

is the fact that both of these have oh

is and that makes a big difference

speaking of stabilization I do want to

slightly call out Samsung for their Oh

is video demo at the note 8 event if you

watched it they compared the note 8

against an iPhone but something was

clearly off like could you imagine the

behind-the-scenes on that

jokes aside that we have clearly seen

and know what the s8 and s8 plus cameras

are capable of and I think with a note a

it kind of takes things to the next

level now one of the biggest camera

features on the note 8 is live focus and

yes some people are gonna say it is very

similar to portrait mode on the iPhone 7

plus and really every other dual camera

out there for that matter but in

particular what I love about this is not

only the quality but the flexibility

there definitely are other smart phones

out there that give you the ability to

edit things in post but it usually comes

with a sacrifice and quality as far as

notate goes it's not perfect and it's

not gonna work every single time but as

a whole it is super impressive the

ability to adjust the amount of blur to

really fine-tune and dial in and find

that point of clarity and both

naturalness is really cool but on top of

that what I think is the coolest thing

about this is you have the ability to go

back at any time and view the wide-angle

version of that photo which is crazy

now beyond live focus mode in terms of

the camera as a whole no surprise it is

really good here's an example of jumping

from the wide-angle lens the telephoto

lens and yes you do lose a little bit of

light with an f-stop of 2.4 on the

telephoto lens but look at the pictures

you can see both are really nice in this

picture here this is the telephoto lens

but what stands out to me here is the

sharpness and the detail it was just

about sunset so you can really see that

Sun beaming down on the floor but beyond

that the detail and the leaves and the

concrete's I think one might call it

crispy in this picture here in

particular the dynamic range is really

impressive we see the blue of the sky we

see the clouds we see all the lighting

of the signs nothing's blown out and

overall it's just a really really

well-rounded photo now if things started

to get a little darker this was one of

my favorite shots not a ton of light in

the foreground just a light bulb itself

but we still see the clouds we see a

little bit of that Sun blown out and

overall it is just a beautiful picture

as far as the front-facing cameras I

think Samsung has done an amazing job

that last couple years and again nothing

has changed shirts and no dates this is

how this shot looks on a red camera and

here's how it looks with the

front-facing camera of the note 8 jump

it over to an outdoor selfie again great

dynamic range great sharpness I love the

fact that you have a wide-angle lens and

really there's not much more to say than

great job Samsung on the cameras video

quality wise here's a quick example of

how that looks how the stabilization

works and also I'm gonna shut my mouth

for a second so you can hear the

microphone quality

oh the shine so from there I want to

round things out with s-pen because

again that is ultimately what makes the

note a note it has definitely evolved a

ton over the years but there really

wasn't a huge jump in features from this

year over last year but that's not

necessarily a bad thing

smart select and screen writes are

useful as always live message while it

isn't necessarily original is actually a

lot of fun to use with a physical pen

you kind of just draw out your message

but it's nice having that extra bit of

accuracy with that physical pen you can

play it back make sure you just screw it

up and then send it off

definitely though one of my favorite

features with s-pen is the ability to

integrate that with Samsung's always-on

display if you just need to jot

something down quickly or you need to

remind yourself you don't have to go

into the phone just bust out the pen

write it down and it will stay there as

a reminder in your face

overall the Galaxy Note 8 while it's not

perfect it is a damn impressive phone if

you know what you want you want that

s-pen but you kind of been skeptical

because people have been a little too

hard on the note eight forget the haters

grab it you will enjoy it I want to give

a huge shout out to my boy Benjamin who

I met out of London super humble super

hard-working but also has a really

underrated youtube channel definitely

check them out I will link them down

below he actually helped me get a hold

of the note 8 a little bit early so this

entire video is thanks to him thank you

guys for watching this is Jonathan and

I'll catch you guys later
