Great for you. Have fun with your Note8, but no point in belittling other phones. Everything has strong points and weaknesses. Nothing is perfect.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheSilentBang:
I think u have quoted wrongly. It supposed to be "notefan" guy
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
Yeah wants to know which feature is so killing in pixel this time which beats note too much

And camera is not everything in phone , btw note 8 camera is unbeatable this time along with its superior screen quality and S pen
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheSilentBang:
True that. selling Note 8 for pixel is Joke.. Rofl
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] anmolvrm:
I don't know man how are you getting 5+hrs SOT.I only get 3hr 40min to 50 min.I never used a note device in the past.I bought the note 8 seeing reviews on youtube that battery life is good because of Samsung optimization but that's not true at least not in my case.3 hr 40 min SOT is very bad for a new phone.What is the meaning of buying an expensive phone if i have to use it on power saving mode to get extra 1 hr of battery life.I agree i am a heavy user and every time i used note 8 i constantly had a feeling that i am getting ran out of battery which is worst thing.I tried spen and it's awesome.Every thing about this phone is awesome except Live focus mode in camera.It doesn't work in low light.My only gripe with this phone is battery life.Yesterday night i charged my phone to 100%. Turned off wifi/Always on display and closed all backup apps.Everthing (sync/location etc) are off.Even i disabled some battery draining advanced gestures based features.I left the phone and after 1 hr. battery life down to 95%. only cellular and idle drained 5% battery in 1 hr.I slept and after 10 hrs i check the phone to see battery down to 82%.I mean come on.I have S4 too and it's a 4 year old device running lollipop.That phone only has 2% battery drain over night and Note8 has worse then that.

I today contacted Amazon india and told them and they checked my phone using smartchk app and agree to offer a replacement but since i don't like the battery life i told them i want the refund.They denied at first since it's not in their policy.I told them i am very old customer and only 1 day since i get the product and finally i convinced them for a refund.Amazon team will send someone to pick it up tomorrow and hopefully i will get a refund back.I am thinking of purchasing Google Pixel 2 XL now.I know it cost much more then this and lacks many features but 2 things make me wanna buy it. 1.Battery life (3520Mah) and 6" display,ofcourse better battery then Note8. 2.Stock Android and latest updates. :laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] NoteBigFan:
I am getting an SOT of about 4.5 to 5 hours with my Note8. This SOT is decent and good enough for me.

Lets see what kind of SOT Pixel XL 2 gives when i get it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
If u need just battery life get iPhone 8 plus I used it for 2 days of my friends and whole day in office heavy use and only 50% used where any phone just dies

Look for overall experience and not just battery and camera

Note 8 gives all

Note8 has a freaking 1200 Nits display, which means it's a 2500bhp all weather proof SUV, obviously you will have to tank it up a bit for the awesome ride quality.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] NoteBigFan:
I never said that i need only battery life. On the contrary, i said Note has decent battery life & i love my Note8, but does that mean i need to hate all other phones in order to like Note8?

Stop putting words in my mouth and no point in having this kind of silly attitude. Note8 is a great phone, but has its shortcomings like any other phone. Nothing is perfect.

Relax and have fun with whether u have, whether it is Note 8 or Pixel or whatever.

guys calm down

i do have note 8,u11 and pixel xl......................all are great devices,each has its ups and down

for example audio quality of U11 is simply superb,whereas note 8 has the best screen without a doubt( even P-oled on LG V30 and pixel 2 XL cant compete)...but performance of pixel XL is still unmatched and even camera on all flagships nowadays are great in one way or other --------so discuss relevant devices on their respective threads/forums,no point praising other devices and arguing ..............

Have peace and enjoy...............
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] djrichard05:
Dude if you just want stock android and better battery life, buy the Xiaomi MI A1... This is a note. Common man you write such a big post just mentioning everything about the battery. I have been using my note since 2 weeks now and like the way you saying, either your having a very low network in your area or some rogue app eating your battery. You haven't shared any stats or something to justify it. Anyways it's your phone and your call.

---------- Post added at 04:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:54 PM ----------

Bro why note to pixel??? You've always been a note fan if I'm not mistaken :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] zeph_syk:
I got the best freakin deal. Sold my S7 edge for 21k. Then got a wireless charger and Samsung u headset free with this beast. Cost me 41k!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nishant786:
Frankly, because I am crazy.

I have never used a phone as perfect in all respects as the Note 8. Its just so freaking useful. Like the other day i was in court and Fedex called me to urgently send them some KYC documents. Sitting in court using the S-pen I filled out the forms, signed and sent them over. This has happened atleast 2-3 times in the past 2 weeks along! It would have required me printing, scanning etc otherwise. The screen, the build quality, the camera, the built in software features are all just so freaking useful. :o

The problem is every year I see a stock android/google phone I start getting the itch to get it. And then i get it and within a month or two I'm bored. But when the bug is there in the brain I can't help myself don't know what to do. Just hoping that maybe till Pixel 2 launches that itch has subsided. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] djrichard05:
Hahaha... if I had known I would have bought my note from you itself .. Anyways next time will wait for your next note :laugh: ???
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nishant786:
ROFL goto hell man.. :(

Anyway I'm not selling now, I've promised myself won't take a decision at least till I have had some hands on time with the device. Don't want to regret later. I have doubts about the screen quality considering v30 issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
U r absolutely right my friend

When comes to gadget the heart wants the heart wants :)

And great to share your real life usage of note ...this is what Samsung is marketing note for

And yeah in my experience also it's perfect this time even the lag is not there somehow ...

Also to add I also had itch for stock Android pixel but this time I have got M1 A1 as backup phone it's mini pixel and with Oreo it will fulfill my needs beside note being my Primary

And now I have started using note without any case and it's a real beauty to hold ... Well I am happy with note with all respect also this time it's a well improved design and hand holding from s8 plus I used earlier and and software is lot refined also seems 6gb ram is what is needed for note to run smooth without lag

And last but not the least note 8 is still cheaper than all flagships this time in India with great offer of screen replacement and wireless charger free ... It's unbeatable this time
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] abdullah1982:
I tried stock android on my friend's phone and I must say I was in love with Touchwiz on my S7edge and love it more on Note 8 now. Stock android is not my cup of tea. Barebones. Like a saying goes "I like to hug a woman with ample figure rather than hugging a zero size model who's bones you feel"

I so want to keep it without case but Note 8 is so slippery, am afraid it will fall.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
The only best thing with stock Android is smoothness which no custom skin can give ... Anyways note 8 is smooth this time
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] abdullah1982:
so what setting are you guys using for display; FHD or WQHD? I use both but at random dont find much of a difference as I barely play any games.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
If u want to use FHD get FHD phone...paying for WQHD display and not using it is foolish

And it does make a difference and doesn't impact battery

Not just games but casual browsing etc and photos makes a difference
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] drmpk:
Lol.. i showed this to my wife and she isn't talking to me..

Not because of figure comment.. :laugh: But because she uses stock android and i am stuck with note2 and note4 and now with note8..

Thanks for the reply. And it does impact battery. I use 2 sim, my whatsapp and text messages are synced to my laptop. Have 7 email accounts running. Manage a lot all through day and even getting 2 hours extra time means a lot to me. And it ain't foolish to use FHD. I love my Note 8 and it's my individual preference and you can't imply foolishness for the same.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] kkashwin:
I have been a Nexus user for the past 4 years (Nexus 5 followed by Nexus 6P) - I was running Android Oreo on my 6p even before Note 8 shipped with Android N. The feeling of getting the very latest in software the day it releases itself makes it worthwhile to get a Nexus. But google betrayed loyal Nexus users by launching Pixel at a price point higher than the priciest of Samsung Phones!!!! :( Now am a happy Samsung Note user but Stock Android still has it benefits!

The 6p was having a smooth performance even after 2 years of usage! No nagging notifications on improve your battery performance by sleeping apps (which I still hate on the Note 8 and haven't figured out how to turn it off!), no gradually slowing down UI problems etc. Hoping Note 8 can match Google's performance in the long run...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nishant786:
Performance wise Note 8 does give high hopes. I have used Note Edge, Note 5, Note 7 and Note 8 at launch. And none of them came close to the Note 8 in terms of everyday performance. Not even s8+. Home run for Samsung.

On the other hand as far as price is concerned I'm still at disbelief that Samsung launched it at such an amazing price. Worth. Every. Rupee. and once you factor in charger and screen replacement, I almost feel like we are taking advantage of the Note 7 debacle.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] kkashwin:
Note 8's current performance is stunning! And Nexus 6p was never the blazingly fast performer - but the fact is, it kept chugging along at the same smooth speeds even after 2 years. Hopefully Note 8 continues to perform without too much a degradation in the coming months!

As for the pricing! Rightly said - am sure we are just reaping the benefits of the Note 7 disaster - good time to get a flagship Samsung :D Maybe manufacturing in India also helps! (Kind of proud to see "Made in India" inscribed at the back)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] abdullah1982:
to turn off battery performance notification you need to do some settings. hardly takes a minute.

go to settings-device maintenance-battery. there scroll down and click always sleeping apps. now click top 3 dots on right up corner and click add apps. now select all apps that dont need to run in background. i think except for whatsapp, email, and few other social accounts you can select all others and click done.

now again go back to battery settings and click unmonitored apps. here add apps which you dont want system to monitor (the ones you didnt add in always sleeping category)

Voila. No more notifications. but remember to add any new app you install in any of the above 2 categories. Hope it helps

All the cases i like are not available in India, (Ibason, Supcase, Zizo Bolt) i really wish i could get Zizo Bolt case for my Note 8 :(

anybody fretting about DxoMark scores for Pixel XL2, watch this Mkbhd video as he shreds this scoring system with legitimate rant. Somewhere in the video he also said Note8 is better for taking portraits than Pixel XL2.

https://youtu.be/PgeJ0XYuI2E
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nishant786:
Actually I think MKBHD made it much more clear with his video earlier about how smartphone cameras have gotten so good that it's now more about personal aesthetic preference than actual image quality. I would take it one step further and say the same about build quality and performance as well.

The only area that you get true tangible differences, is in screen quality. That is one area where, for at least the foreseeable future IMHO, Samsung is going to continue to dominate.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] rkaria1970:
absolutely Nishant, Samsung dominates in display technology, no brainer why Apple will be sourcing the display for iPhone X from Samsung.

Anyone who has received wireless charger, can confirm how much time does it take to charge note8 to 100%?

It took more than 2.5 hrs to charge.While charging it displayed "Fast Charging".
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mikil.mamtani:
I think 2.5hrs is good, right ? Also any one from delhi who has reveived the wireless charger ? I am tracking via fedex and it says it has arrived at the local fedex facility in delhi. Fingers crossed that it gets delivered today.

1.5 hrs it takes for normal charge...I will be using it as mobile stand
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dpk1:
Mine takes about the same (using the wireless charger i got with my s8+). I remember my S8+ being charged faster (i.e in less than 2 hrs) but it used to heat up the phone. After the last update my S8+ also started charging slower and staying relatively cooler. I haven't received any updates on my Note 8 but it's been charging slow (wirelessly) right out of the box. On the upside it doesn't heat up much. Wall charging is faster as expected.

Hey guys I got refund for my device due to defected unit. I'm thinking of buying it again.

Is there any chance, Samsung would launch deep blue sea note 8 in India ? I heard that this Colour is now available in Europe. They had same colour choices as India previously.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] krumbs:
I got the Jio offer. And it happened without any issues. But here's my backstory:

I had a terrible experience with Jio when I tried to claim the Double Data offer for the S8+ (1GB extra daily). Took over a month and a hugely-frustrating exchange with customer support before they finally activated the coupon.

So when I got the Note 8, I had already given up on getting the Jio offer. BUT, to my surprise, when I plugged in the Jio SIM, I automagically got an update within 10 minutes (via SMS) that a new voucher was available in the MyJio app. And lo behold, just like that, the Jio offer got activated!!

So I am not sure if it happened so quickly because of my previous fight with Jio, or if I got extremely lucky.

The bottomline is: If you haven't got the Jio offer, you can get it by relentlessly chasing Jio customer support. I used to think Samsung customer support was clueless... until I interacted with Jio customer support!

All the best.
