I just hope so or so I thought because the launch of the new Galaxy
Note smartphone has already received mixed reactions from the tech-savvy public
prior to its release, with some hoping that Samsung would do it right while
others consider waiting for a more powerful Galaxy Note 9 instead. Despite the looming
consequences, the Galaxy Note 8 has its own winning features that cater to the
digital lifestyle needs of the phone's future users.
For starters, it is the first Samsung smartphone to sport a dual-camera
system for better photos which has been acknowledged by the likes of Huawei to
the surprise of those who have been updating on the device. Its 12 megapixel +
12 megapixel rear camera paired with optical image stabilization and f/1.7 and
f/2.4 aperture lens respectively incorporate a distinct feature called "Live
Focus" where users are allowed to add background blur while taking photos.
It also happens to be the first of its kind to incorporate a Hardware-Home-Buttonless
Infinity Display which is found on the Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus smartphones.
Meanwhile, bundled with the Galaxy Note 8 is the new iteration of the
S-Pen stylus which allows language translation, animated messaging, note-taking
and other functions on a locked screen. Furthermore, the intriguing stylus also
has an app pairing function where they can select two apps that can be used
simultaneously in a split-screen configuration such as YouTube and Kingsoft
Office. Anyway, consumers may feel a little bit disappointed about the specs
considering that some of them are not as cool as the Galaxy S8 Plus, but they
are still worth the try. Just check these out, shall we?
