NOTE 5 THE BEST NOTE TILL DATE
I am your new subscriber. That was a very detailed (not concentrating on the minutiae) explanation. Keep up the good work. Really helps in decision making. Cheers!
What theme is he using? Doesn't seem like the standard one?
Dont forget the dual screen, thats so cool, when u can watch tutorial video and work on other side
I would switch RIGHT away if apps were more optimized and dint lag also ntm google dint spy on you this is a huge deal breaker I don't care about customization at all but the phone is nice if only those problems were resolved id buy one.
Best review channel. Thanks man.
watching on my Note 8 ty
Awesome phone 🙂 love my Note 8 🙂
Thanks for not adding any annoying commercial
Even on the days i used the GPS for 2 hours, watched videos for 1 hour, and did all the regular phone stuff, I came home with plenty of battery left. I have the unlocked version from samsung. the battery has been amazing. writing with the S pen feels way better and optimized than writing with my surface pro 4. Amazing phone for productivity. I have not needed my battery pack since I went from S8 to Note8.
Finally.. an indian that sounds natural .thumbs up man .not racist cause i am an indian as well
Had the s6 until the release of the s8. Neither have slowed down at all, but before them I had them I had the Galaxy nexus and that phone significantly slowed down over time
Pls let me know. what u use theme on note8. I like it
what theme do u use? its amazing
how did u change ur phone like that???? what lancher do u use
Currently using a Note4 but it's starting to show it's age. I'm strongly considering a Note8 in the very near future.
Basic really? that's the worst option why not look at nice vibrant bright color.
What launcher are you using?
My worst experience so far with the Samsung S8 is when i tried to restore my phone from my latest samsung backup only to find out that settings and data within applications were actually not restored. For example all my photos from photovault have been permanently lost into oblivion.I know this is a third party issue since it is not directly samsungs fault but when i tried the same thing on the IPhone it worked perfectly. They need to sort that stuff out. Regardless i still upgraded from the S8 to the Note 8. I just wont depend on their backup in that way ever again
@HardwareCanucks What wallpaper, theme, and icon pack are you using? Thanks!
sponsor came on, turned the kettle on.
Needs a better battery.
Who else is getting that MKBHD vibe.?
Will u gift me a oneplus 5t bro
Hey dude, great review! How did you have the black and white theme?
Great vid. So much more impressed with the hardware of the Samsung phones. Looking to trade in an iPhone 7 and old MacBook Air for a Galaxy Note _ and Dell XPS 15. Just need the $$$ and to get off contract.
I just got a NOTE 8 2 weeks ago and my old phone was a NOTE 5. To be totally honest set aside the bling i was happier with Note 5. My Note 8 lags. Typing messages became a full time job. I did everything from lowering the pressure of typing to putting the phone on safe mode. It still lags. Today i do an extra swipe and double tap on letters 30% more. Im phoneless at the moment- since my phone just exceeded the 7 day return period of our carrier(Globe-Philippines) they told i had to have it serviced. Wow all that money and your stuck with a brand new phone that only in 2 weeks is gonna be opened up and serviced. I miss my note 5.

Wow this guy is super hot, No homo tho
If you're going from 100% to 0% multiple times to test the screen-on time, you are totally killing your battery. Even just a few back to back times will kill the total capacity of a Li- battery.
This is the best review Ive ever seen. Im convinced!
Fucking ugly indian, show the phone more and not your ugly face!
Which theme are you using. It's so elegant
just got me a note 8 and its been real good so far. battery life is way better than my previous phone. which was a galaxy J7 basically a buget smart phone. So yeah such a huge upgrade to me. Glad I purchased it. ?
..
I want the faux leather back like on the note 3
What theme were you using on the Samsung Note? I really like it
dirty azz window sill
I stopped watching when that looser said IPS pannels are better lol
is this a theme on the phone if yes where to find it ??? and the icon too
I thought it was from browsing Porn I went through 8 Samsung phones was thinking of converting to Apple, they all slow down & the battery life gets shorter, exactly what u said, 1st Time I'm researching it though Thanks for the Tips!
Hey I got the note 8 I got screen protector and it make it hard to push button should I take it off cuz annoyin
that was the cheapest looking hack to the bixby button.
I have been using S8+ from over 4 months and it was annoying and lagging while multi tasking but since the new update this week,…It has been really amazing. I really hope they can improve the portrait mode through software updates, it's always a hit or miss while trying to take a shot through portrait mode. but overall it's one of the best smartphones I have used and I have been a iphone user from last 5 years or so and I am not regretting it.
What launcher do you use?
Love my note 8
Speakers SUCK!!! Should’ve came with STEREO.
