Hope you checked it with wqhd+ display resolution. While sliding the brightness up or down (especially down) I notice a faint screen flicker or sudden uneven dimming.

Thanks for confirming! I never felt this on my previous phone (S8+). Hopefully this might be a software issue (rectified by an update later). Meanwhile I'm going to check the demo at store if they too have this issue.

Hi friends. Got my iPhone X yesterday. After playing with face id and animoji s I still come back to note 8 for substance. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] guyluvsgals:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nishant786:
meh. In practise speed same as Note 8 Iris. Thank god Note 8 has a fingerprint sensor to fall back on.

Those who ordered the note 8 in oct, anyone received their wireless chargers?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sukhi:
If you ordered it in Oct then expect the WC to be delivered by Dec end or Early Jan. It takes 30-45 business days.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] kunal_07:
Someone I know received it in 2 weeks. Ordered oct 1 received by 15th

Hi.. any idea how much days does samsung online store takes to deliver the phone.. it showed 2 to 4 days.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sukhi:
2-4 business days. 4 business days are almost a week.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] prudhivisekhar:

Anyone with jio sim here who has redeemed double data offer successfully? I applied the addon coupon but myjio app doesn't show the double data.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dineshh:
I did. In my jio app you'll find a coupons option. Under the same you'll find your coupon. Apply it for benefits
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dpk1:
Yes i did exactly what you are saying. But my daily 1 gb data still remains at 1 gb instead of 2 gb data per day in myjio app (balance). Can you see the updated double data balance in my jio app? I recharged for 399, what plan you currently have? Thanks.

How's your battery life guys?

I usually get 4hrs of screen on time in a 10hr day

there was just one time when I pulled a 16hr day with 7hr screen on time[reading books on it and other low battery usage stuff].
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] amey_shah2011:
Disable AOD....You will get around 5.5 hrs SOT...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dev Jaskirat:
For me AOD only takes 3-5% will that actually increase the battery by 1 hr??

Will try it for sure!

Is it worth rooting Note 8?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dr.ketan:
Till you need to ask someone else, it's not needed/worth.

When you are able to decide yourself by learning a lot about pros/cons vs requirements, go for it else leave it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dbj.Dhaval:
Even I want to root. Have been previously using note 2 and nexus 6p both rooted.. But mostly worried about this csc thing and oem disappearing.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nitinmits:
Excellent battery life
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] azeter:
Just bought the note 8 so far so good and got the oreo update am i too late buying the note 8 :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nishant786:
First of all it's so amazing that this thread is back.

My update, went to the Pixel for about 4 months and 2 weeks back missed the S-Pen so much I got myself a N9500HK Blue 128 Note.

It's so beautiful!

Although according to update history the N9500 has gotten much much more updates than the Indian version (I got 2 updates in the last 15 days) it hasn't gotten Oreo yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sweet_ashu2001:
I got oreo day before yesterday
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] PratikP:
Indeed. It was about time this thread was restarted. Let's collectively keep the thread alive and a sane place to exchange thoughts.

So, was it just the S-Pen or the N8 really has more to it than just stylus - that made you switch back?

It's just been a couple of days I've started using the N8. I come from the Nexus line and it's been okay so far. What actually surprises me that the UI - it's actually very functional for my use case. This is the first time that I didn't install Nova on a device. How it ages though, that needs to be seen.

---------- Post added at 08:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:06 PM ----------

Riding the same boat. Just bought it last week! I'm really surprised Sammy didn't drop the price of the devices - been more 2 quarters now.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] azeter:
Yes even i am suprised as far as the price is concerned i sold my iPhone x and bought n8
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] drtushar:
How much did it cost? Link please
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nishant786:
The S-pen really. And if not for the convenience of taking notes anytime immediately, or highlighting stuff or signing documents urgently, then because its one of the best time pass tools ever. I keep doodling and using the colouring app.

Plus ofcourse all the little conveniences that Samsungs skin has that others simply do not.

Badly miss the Pixels camera though.

I got it for 60k. On ebay.in its for around 63 I think.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] snakez23:
somehow unhappy with Oreo Battery life :(

performance and features are good/improved. Disappointed still that they havent

sorted out the S Notes/Samsung Notes mess. was expecting some improvement.

Seems a futile wait :( and neither of the apps have been updated too :(
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nitinmits:
Opposite for me. Excellent battery life after oreo update. I update and hard reset the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] snakez23:
Lazy to reset it. i have many apps and logging into all of them is chore.

will wait for another week and hard reset.. My colleague didnt reset it and his battery life is still good. variations in apps i suppose
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dsvictor:
Got an update of about 650mb. But security patch level js same (march)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] PratikP:
Guys, which tempered glass are you using? It's a pain finding a good one due to the curved display :/
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] snakez23:
i use Supcase glass protector. works well for me. a small loss of sensitivity but saves a lot of heartburn from grazes n scratches.

Or you could use Spigen protector, but its a matte finish, IMHO having a hi-res screen and using matte protector to degrade display is not recommended.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] rohit25:
Well don't own a note 8... But have pixel 2 xl.... Got a Whitestone dome glass from mobilefun.co.uk

Would recommend this one
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] snakez23:
actually there have been different responses; there is a thread which states 8 times the whitestone dome glass has lifted up.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] PratikP:
Agreed. No privacy matte protectors for sure.

I got myself a full adhesive SGP. It's pretty darn good. But because of misalignment of probably an mm the right curve has a vertical air gap. Doesn't bother much. No sensitivity loss.

---------- Post added at 02:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:51 PM ----------

I did think about it but IMO I really don't think the WD is worth the amount. TSGP will break, eventually. Leaving apart the tedious application process importing and replacing it with another one is a pain.

Planning to go in for the tech21 case with it's screen protector. Man, been ages I used a plastic screen protector but I think that's the only option for these curved edges.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] centaur31:
Well that was definitely better than what samsung would offer. I had an S8 3 months old and the retail price was Rs.54999 and 58999 for S8+.

On hearing about the upgrade offer from sammy i thought lets check it out.

They offered me a trade-in value of Rs. 27500 for the S8 qwhich they were selling for Rs. 54999, ie half the price of the S8 that was 3 months old.

Felt like kicking their bottoms for doing that.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ragavbpl:
Did anyone update Android Pie Beta on their note 8? Can you confirm if dual VoLTE/Active 4G is available in beta or not yet? What I mean to ask is are you able to keep both sim networks to 4g/lte?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] fulcrum1971:
Nope. Not available.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ragavbpl:
Any idea which beta will it be included in? Or it is directly going to be enabled in stable build?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] fulcrum1971:
No idea.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
Aah ok...I will get black only....since no other color launching

Gold is not my taste after note 5
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
Did u order any case so far...I just ordered Spigen liquid case
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nishant786:
This is one area that has me completely disappointed for the Indian launch. I hate gold. Im too bored of black on my S8+.

The only colour for me was blue, maybe grey.

So looking for options to import. Otherwise going to Dubai next month and will have to cross my fingers to get lucky at get blue there from their grey market.

Samsung India sucks. With s8+ they got 3 colours at launch, why not with Note?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
Well yeah but I found with s8 plus that at least a thin back case is a must for this thin slippery phone ... I never used case with any phones before like note 5 note 7 pixel etc

And again with note 8 I have already ordered a case so I am fine with black it's stealth and we change back case cover so here we have the color

Also the color is only at the back and with case that anyways will be hidden

---------- Post added at 11:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:58 AM ----------

Also Samsung gold is ****ty .. unlike rose gold of Apple which looks classy
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
All will be clear on 12th
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
Yeah I created that thread last year it had all the action

Ppl are still afraid of note this time it seems
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] rkaria1970:
[emoji23] how can I forget that thread, total roller coater ride & some crazy ppl.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
Haha yeah man someone also got really crazy there :)

Compared to that ... This year it's too cool

Let's hope our wait here ends soon and Samsung India also makes the device available asap rather than wait few more weeks after 12th launch
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
Which phone u have now ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
Haha note 7 accessories was money in water

I am holding s8 plus so not so desparate but still I miss note ... So yeah need it asap now
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nishant786:
Not really. Last year s7 was similar to s6. Note 5 people didn't like. i7 people didn't like. And pixel people didn't know. So Note7 was the hottest phone of the year.

This year much tougher competition that's all. People have gotten divided. Like my brother who just got the keyone and is waiting for the i8 so won't be getting a Note for the first time since Note 3 (he even got the Note 7).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
No I mean ppl are afraid of Samsung note to be explosive device still...which is keeping ppl from being interested in note 8 this year and also compared to s8 plus many don't see it much upgrade

Remember they used to announce in planes specially for galaxy note 7

---------- Post added at 06:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:57 PM ----------

If u take my suggestion then get 128gb

256gb is still very costly and it becomes too big a storage .. if u fill all and mobile device storage curropted can be a headache
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
So u don't use the dual SIM ?

I use the dual SIM due to which my free 128gb which I got from note 7 is unused since last year
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nishant786:
Yeah I got that. But those people don't come on forums. And those who come on forums already know Samsung has proven itself by s8 and Note 7FE. So I don't think that's the reason for dip in forum interest.

Real sales ofcourse what you're saying is true especially with so many other options.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
Yeah lots of options this year and it's good for buyers always

So are u getting note 8 or will stick to iPhone 8 ?

---------- Post added at 07:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:07 PM ----------

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nishant786:

Although too much nakhra this year to get i8, short supply etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] rkaria1970:
Amazon mobile app running a quiz competition, 2 eligible person wins Note8. I know it's a long shot but heck it's just 8 simple questions if you guys interested.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
How can u say short supply of i8 ? I think Apple is spot on with its delivery unlike nonsense samsung... just do pre booking
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nishant786:
Read up. Since months reports coming actual OLED i8 will be short supply. 7s will be available normally.

And this same story is every year almost.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
Hmm well u getting both anyways...so enjoy note till u get i8

I wanted to try i8 if it had dual sim
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] kannanX10:
Got a call that stocks will be delivered by 22nd ....only 64gb at launch along with charger and one time screen replacement
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
Cool man u carry to phones

Well I am planning to get Mi A1 along with note 8...it's amazing mini pixel phone with Android one can serve as backup phone specially for faster updates...it will get faster Android O than note 8 :(
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
5.5 great device for 15k ... Stock Android with dual mi camera

Can't beat at 15k price

Check on Flipkart

I always wanted stock Android pixel like phone as backup which can get upadtes faster straight from Google and Mi A1 fits the bill

And it looks like iPhone 7 what more can we want for 15k
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
It's best feature is stock pixel experience and yah it has dual camera check it's review even portrait mode like iPhone works on it

I just needed a dedicated sd card slot rather than hybrid

I am getting it for backup phone and pixel experience
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
Yeah well I needed pixel but it's way costly and doesn't have dual sim

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nishant786:
Bro I know you are excited, as we are. But asking this everyday is useless. Trust me Samsung India is one of the most uncommunicative companies in the world. They don't tell their dealers/distributors anything till the last moment. We have seen this every year. Even this year distributor level has no info till last evening. Even they are frustrated.

Any info, no matter from which source, is nothing but rumour until 2pm 12th September.

No point in torturing yourself till then.

Check Inspiron models the news ones are good with i5 or i7
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nishant786:
Yeah the HP looks pretty great. Although personally 2 in 1s are a complete waste unless its a Surface. Don't perform well at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
Actually nowadays 2 in 1 convertibles are best not the one which u can pull out the screen to make it table but which folds backwards

Anyways windows in full tablet mode is useless in terms of software ...for that iPad is best

I am using HP 2 in one myself it's i5 works great almost like MacBook pro

Lenovo I used but it's build quality is horrible I have to sell and get HP bcoz last year dell didn't had many 2 in 1 options

But I think shell out a bit more and get Dell Inspiron new models it's worth it

Else HP display I found best it's almost like MacBook, I am happy with my HP convertible
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
HP with touchscreen i5

just get min 8gb ram version
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:

That's pre-registration not prebookings......as per my sources in Samsung India are stating that response for note 8 is underwhelming....not even 50% when compared to note 7 and s8

Those are fools just run some blogs ask them the difference between pre booking and pre registration they will not know

Yep underwhelming compared to note 7... Well it's good they will come to senses with stocks pricing and freebie
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
Btw anyone know whts pricing in Dubai and what freebie coming with it last time with note 7 they gave 128gb card which I still have
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] rkaria1970:
Pre orders in Dubai lasts till 10th tommowro on all online stores like Jumbo, Sharaf DG, Soaq etc for 3399 AED (60K). Freebies include AKG Bluetooth speakers & Wierless Charger. All colors except blue available.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
And when Retail starts in Dubai ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] rkaria1970:
Delivery for pre orders starts from the 14th, so normally it should hit retail shelfs by then a day or two later. Interestingly Dubai mobile prices depreciates faster, right now s8+ goes for around 42k over there so N8 should see a drop of 200-300 AED in 2 months time.

Out of topic but r u upgrading ur iPad Pro 12.9 ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nishant786:
Re. Pre order, I'm pretty sure it's 12th Pre-order and 21st Delivery. Agree with the Samsung Chu part though. :P

iPad I mainly use as a media consumption device in the gym so don't see a point upgrading this year atleast. iPads are usually good for 3-4 years.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
Yeah IPAD can last easily 2 3 years

Btw do u think 12.9 become too big and heavy or u would have preferred 10.5 instead if given a choice now ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nishant786:
Definitely 12.9.
