The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 adds new features to its 8-inch design Video Transcript
Hey everyone this is Eric Franklin and I am here in Barcelona Spain and I am taking a first look at the Samsung Galaxy Note 8. Here it is it has an eight inch screen, 1280 by 800 resolution, comes with the S pen of course, as all notes do,. If your are used to the Not 10.1 it comes with a lot of those same apps, like S Note and Awesome Note, which is kind of a to-do list tracker app. As Samsung tablets go, there is an IR blaster a volume rocker and power button. The Note can be used as a universal remote,. This is the international version so it will have SIM card slot with 3G support, so it will be a phone as well as a tablet. The US version will just be a tablet and will include a micro SD card slot. There is also a front camera and back camera. The tablet is fairly light and thin and feels good in my hands. Once again, this is Eric Franklin with the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.

Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Review
The good: The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is comfortable to hold and has the best-looking small tablet screen yet. Writing with the S Pen feels natural and is preferred over typing on a tablet screen. Storage can be expanded via microSD, and the Watch On feature has potential as a universal remote/video content hub.
The bad: The $399 price is a lot for a small tablet, no matter its features. It's not as thin or as light as the iPad Mini, and some people won't appreciate the highly saturated look of the OS. Also, its face buttons sometimes get in the way and there are occasional performance hangs.
The bottom line: The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is a stunning tablet with a truly useful stylus, but it's not worth $400 unless you're an artist or prefer pen input.
