Surely, Samsung is a big screen mobile pioneer, this year's latest big screen is the Galaxy Note 8, which uses the popular this year, comprehensive Screen design and dual camera.
Note 8 released at the beginning of concern, until now it is still one of the most popular flagship phone Note8 sale until now, we should have seen a lot of evaluation, but the quality of a test, but also inseparable Time in this dimension. After using 3 months, Note8's performance how? Let's take a look at foreign media Android Central how to say.
Galaxy Note 8: I still like things
My interest in Samsung's new flagship is centered around its hardware. Note 8 has plenty of room to showcase the quality of Samsung. Yes, the Note 8 style actually continues the style since the Galaxy S6 Edge, but Samsung There's always been a polished design to improve detail. Note 8 The huge curved screen perfectly blends with the metal side, and everything feels great. Note 8 does not look good on Note 8, although Note 8 looks fatter than S8 + Which aspect looks bad.
I've always heard someone say that the past generations of Samsung mobile phones are very fragile, but I have not encountered such a situation. Yes, Note 8 is made of glass, the glass is fragile and prone to scratches, but I think This is not a big deal, because in exchange for a more beautiful design and wireless charging.Fortunately, I prefer flat screen Note 8, but the surface also has its benefits in visual effects, Note 8 border is very Narrow, very impact. In my opinion, both designs have their own value.
Note 8 also has a great screen to the incredible, it's display space is huge, very bright, no matter where you look from it is so beautiful it in the sun visibility is excellent, the viewing angle and color reproduction Even better.Screen is Samsung's unique skill, it is also one of the best features of Note 8. Note 8 has the best mobile phone display, it is undisputed.
Note 8 is Samsung's first dual-camera phone and it's absolutely capable of taking pictures. Samsung knows how to adjust the rendering so that it is pleasing to the eye without being too unnatural and over-modified. You just need to turn on the HDR auto mode and snap on the line. Of course, Note8 also has shortcomings, its weak light shooting ability as Google Pixel 2, but the blessing of Google exclusive HDR + technology, the industry Second to none.
Galaxy Note 8: I do not like it
3 months, the biggest problem with Samsung Note 8 is too big, one-handed operation is really tiring, it is almost impossible to reach the top of the screen with one hand without turning on the single-handed mode Note 8 Of course, if you have a lot of hands, I did not say it.
The location of the fingerprint sensor also makes me unbearable, which is not on the front or back of the problem, but not enough to get the problem with the finger due to the Note 8 larger size, which led to its fingerprint reader more difficult to reach, Often, Note 8 has iris recognition, but not every application supports iris recognition and fingerprinting is still the mainstream method of security certification.
System, after the release of Note 8, I have experienced other new machines, including Pixel 2, plus 5T and Android One Moto X4 Samsung's latest interactive interface Samsung Experience 8.5 version, compared to the native Oreo system, it appears Some bloated, and lacking a specific design direction, it even makes you feel that you are using the old Android KitKat and Lollipop, although it looks modern, but in fact it is another story.
It uses light shades with slight shading and transparency, which looks good, but some features are not in place, such as lock screen design is a mess of ideas, clumsy application launchers (especially folders. ..) Setting items are hidden deep, some buttons you simply do not understand what is used to do, and some functions of the switch is scattered in the corner, one hand is difficult to control. Samsung is the world's largest mobile phone manufacturers, with massive User base, according to the truth should be super-powerful software, but Note 8 than Pixel XL 2, sorry, this gap is still a bit big, did not bring a pleasant experience.
As for the performance, Note 8 is really not as fast as 3 months ago.Now Note 8 installed a lot of applications, mobile phones also write a lot of data, so that open the application load time significantly longer.Of course, in most cases It's still very smooth, but from time to time there will be scrolls, cartridges, and dropped frames.It is interesting to note that Exynos processor version Note 8 used by my British colleague does not suffer from Caton problems.
to sum up
Time-tested, Note 8 is a real high-quality phone in terms of hardware, whether it's in materials, design or processing, you appreciate it from every angle, or pick it up To its pretty, until now it still makes me like a lot of praise, even 6 months, 9 months I still think so .Note 8's battery life is still good, wireless charging is also more interesting .Yes, it Also has a headphone jack.
However, the old saying that 'time will heal wounds' does not apply to Samsung's fingerprint sensors, and I was not accustomed to its location from the beginning until now, and Note 8 is too big for my hand, Hand holding difficult.
I'm getting used to the software part of Samsung, but it's not as smooth, easy and stable as Google's Pixel 2, but I hope it will be better after upgrading Oreo. The performance is better than just getting out of the box Damage, but little effect.
