They send FedEx tracking number via SMS. Track on website. For me delivery was next day.

That is because it ships from out of India. It's a UK based website, even though prices are in INR.

I have not yet received a FedEx tracking number, i have just received an sms with a COD id.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] rkaria1970:
When you check out in some instances shipping is a bomb & if it comes through fedex what about customs?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nishant786:
As I said it comes from out of India, so all regular caveats like customs etc apply. In my experience for all orders above 2-3000Rs. they force FedEx, DHL.

So only order if it's something you can't get anywhere else. Last year lost a lot of money ordering Note 7 cases from them.

Day 5 and my order is still showing as Processing, on the Samsung estore!

Interestingly, the black version is currently out of stock on the store (for my pincode), and I am wondering if that means they accepted my order even though they were out of stock.

So I am screwed! And I might be waiting for days for the fresh stock to arrive!

Have you ever used a small note pad for taking notes? The one I used to use for college, is the exact same size as he Note 8 screen.

This means that finally, for me, the Note has fulfilled it's destiny to be a perfect note taking tool for me.

This alone makes it better than any Note I've ever used. Really happy.

Hello guys,

That's not going to happen because the SD bootloader is locked. You might eventually get root but it'll probably have limitations. Almost certainly no custom recovery (TWRP) or custom ROMs.

Did folks who ordered the Samsung Wireless charger, get it? There has been no order update on their website.

Also what are the options for tempered glass screen protector in India. Anything tried and tested here? Everybody is going gaga over the Whitestone Dome screen protector but it costs 8k (incl shipping!!) - might as well replace the screen for that cost!!! Anything good and locally available?

Thanks!

Should be getting the phone tomm. Have also ordered Gadgetshieldz full body protector. Has anyone tried it with various cases?

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

Whitestone Dome Tempered glass is one the best for our device but not yet available in India :(
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] djrichard05:
It was your recommendation bro :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] kkashwin:
Thanks! Seems like Samsung is tied up with shipping Note 8s and other order have been backlogged :)

As for whitestone dome - its definitely out of question. Will probably settle for Spigen Neo Flex which seems to be popular choice. But I have come to dislike the TPU screen protectors :( They change the feel of the touch screen and am not sure how easy it is to use the S Pen on a plastic sheet instead of glass.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] djrichard05:
At first I'm also facing issues with touch due the slight rubbery feel when I use the spen but overtime it will smoothen out as it did with the gadget shieldz on my previous phone's.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nishant786:
These type of wet apply screen protectors will never be fine for Samsung Notes. If you use stylus, no matter the quality of the protector, it will show lines and maybe even creases. Best is to go naked or at least glass.

If you don't use stylus then you maybe ok though.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
No issues here while using spen with neo flex.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] djrichard05:
Will wait for a month and if is still going to be like this then I will change to a tempered glass.

It's been one week with the note now so my one penny review. Build quality is great , the screen is awesome , the Colours are vibrant but its heavy, period.

The fingerprint scanner is good and does a good job The placement could be better but it's Okay in my hands. Does the job well Most often the smart lock is on so it does not make any difference to me. The kids don’t touch my phone so it's okay. Now comes the camera. Its good. Does what it's supposed to do and it does it well. The s Pen is so smooth it's like butter. The only thing that I would want from my phone is a better battery life. That’s the only drawback in my opinion. Rest is all good. Stopped rooting since my note 4 days since you lose out on a lot many features and the hardware and the software are in sync now. Overall a great phone. The best phone ever. Been with the Galaxy since S1 and Note 1. BTW no light bleed. And one last thing.....Bixby has started to grow on me. Lots of nice features. I say drive...it switches off wifi, starts bluetooth, starts maps and starts play music. So it is great only if you dive into it. Takes some learning though.

Took a week, but it finally arrived yesterday evening -- had ordered from the Samsung eStore. Was a pleasant surprise to see a back case included in the box.

As expected, the Note 8 worked fine with the Gear S3, the DeX Station, the Gear VR and the Level U Pro ANC with UHQ audio.

Unfortunately, Daydream VR still had the occasional stutters and frame drops, but it is definitely better than the experience on the S8 Plus. I think Samsung has not yet optimised the code for Exynos.

Also, the Note 8 feels nicer to hold than my previous phone, the S8 Plus. And I like that Samsung has toned down the curved edges -- perhaps this is the device S8 Plus should have been (minus the S-Pen, of course).

HDR content on Netflix and YouTube looks great and you should certainly check it out. You could also download a few 4K HDR clips off sites like 4kmedia.org and demo-uhd3d.com -- had shown these to friends when I had the S8 Plus, and they were floored!

Overall, I think the Note 8 is a great device. Have owned Note 1, 2, 3, 4, had pre-ordered the ill-fated Note 7, and now it is nice to be back in the stylus-toting camp with the Note 8! :)

My only gripe is that Samsung continues to use a rather mediocre mono speaker on flagship phones. This device would have been perfect for media consumption if it had loud, crystal clear stereo speakers like the ones on certain HTC phones.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] kingjack:
My little birdies suggest that 256Gb/128Gb version of Note 8 may come post Diwali sometime in last week of Oct to counter I Phone X. I am hoping and waiting for same before i jump back to Note bandwagon. I am on S7 Edge currently.

On the question of swapping S8 plus with Note 8 - The real difference is the Stylus. If you sparingly use stylus, stick with S8 plus but if you are a die hard fan of stylus (like me), then the choice is obvious
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] rkaria1970:
Imo Note8 is much more than S8. The dual camera with live focus is unbeatable, a feature you won't want to miss. The camera is much refined with OIS on both lenses. 6 gigs of RAM makes it better workaholic than the S8, ram management is much better. Lastly the Spen puts the Note8 on a different pedestal & makes any comparison futile.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tgim08:
Mine is 6gb 128gb s8 plue
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] rkaria1970:
If you see tech & user reviews, ram management is very much optimised in the Note8 & so is the battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] kingjack:
No doubts Note 8 is much more than S8 plus, but IMO, the main reason is the Stylus, followed by camera and may be followed by RAM. If someone is not into using stylus, it may not be an worthy upgrade from S8 plus and may be better to wait for S9.

For someone who uses stylus, there is no alternative and every Note is worth the upgrade. Period

That said, each to his own and every person will value each feature differently. I sincerely hope, Sammy comes out with 256gb version, than it will be a true killer.

Indian version - N950FZKD or N950FD

Just noticed, the version number mentioned on sammy site is SM-N950FZKD, which is the version for Exynos Dual SIM unlocked in UK.

Can someone confirm, if they have got a N950FD or a N950FZKD. Wondering, is it a typo or demand in India is higher than the supply

Hello everyone from Bangalore :)

Been using the device since a week and I am absolutely in love with it. I think I got it for a great price. I had pre-booked from a Samsung Cafe and on the day of the delivery, managed to negotiate the price for 65K and plus 4K cash back for HDFC credit card. So, got it for 61K :) But, I bought one-year insurance for 6K and also bought the original Samsung case with the kickstand for 2.5K.n Overall very happy.

Regarding the accessories, I didn't like either the provided free case or the AKG earphones. Also, tried a case friendly tempered glass and I was not happy with it. No matter what tempered glass you put, the dust manages to go in and then it's really annoying to use. So, switched to a rubber kind of case friendly screen guard. It has a bit of noise on it, but overall it's much better, as I can feel the display better and also it doesn't let dust get in. So, I will stick to it and never put a tempered glass again. I haven't received the wireless charger too and no further confirmation from the Samsung guys either on their site. I think they haven't started shipping it out just yet.

Talking about the phone itself, the display is absolutely gorgeous and the camera is really good. I am coming from an S7E. I am really happy with the live focus and the front camera is so much better too. The design is beautiful and the S Pen is really handy too. The battery is decent on power saving mode, especially when the display is at FHD. That's a bit sad, considering display to be one of its best things, but can't-do much about it as it's a big display and using it at QWHD will eat up the battery much faster. Overall I am really happy with the device. I will update more about it in the weeks to come. Keep sharing your experiences here :)
