The big screen that fits in your hand. Infinity Display.
The 6.3"* Infinity Display is the biggest ever for a Galaxy Note-giving you more
screen for a bigger view and more space to use the S Pen. Plus, it still fits
comfortably in your hand because the symmetric curves and 18.5:9 aspect come
together for a narrow body.
- Infinity Display: a near bezel-less, full-frontal glass, edge-to-edge screen.
- Default resolution is Full HD+ and can be changed to Quad HD+ (WQHD+) in Settings.
- Screen measured diagonally as a full rectangle without accounting for the rounded corners.
Wider view – Cinematic experience
Even watching movies is simply more enjoyable with the Infinity
Display's 18.5:9 aspect ratio. In landscape mode, the Galaxy Note 8 offers a
14% wider viewing area that makes for a richer, more immersive experience. 14%
wider viewing area compared to Galaxy Note 5.
Perfect symmetry – Design that works
The Galaxy Note 8 is designed for you to use with ease and simplicity. The
beautiful curves and seamless body are engineered to offer you a comfortable
grip and more space for you to write freely with the S Pen. The fingerprint
scanner is virtually flush with the back, and the Home button is embedded
underneath the Infinity Display to stay invisible until you need it. It's the
beginning of a seamless experience.
Multi Window – Launch two apps with a single tap
The 18.5:9 aspect ratio was made for multitasking. Turn on Multi Window mode to
have two apps open at the same time. For apps you commonly use together, App
Pairing presets let you open them simultaneously with a tap. Now it's simpler
than ever to listen to music while following Google Maps. Simulated images used
onscreen for illustrative purposes.
Optimized for lists – View more, scroll less
Whether you're scrolling Facebook or writing reminders in Samsung Notes, you see
more and do more with less scrolling on the tall 18.5:9 display ratio.
Live message – Say it with a hand-drawn message
Draw your own emojis, make animated GIFs, or write handwritten messages on
photos. Live message allows you to express your feelings and send them to people
you care about. (Depending on the size and length of GIFs they may not be
supported by some social media and messaging services).
Smart select – Create your own GIFs
When words aren't enough, you can say it with your own animated GIF. The
S Pen's Smart Select feature enables you to select a section of a video and
share them with your friends or on social media. You can also select intricate
shapes from images to share or paste where you need them. Depending on the size
and length of GIFs they may not be supported by some social media and messaging
services
Samsung Notes – Tools for expression
From bullet points to serious artwork and everything in between, Samsung Notes
gives you the tools. Use the wide selection of brushes, pens, and colors to draw
up plans and create your own masterpieces.
Fine tip – Write with precision
When we need to take notes or when inspiration strikes, our first instinct is to
look for a pen. That's why it made perfect sense for the Galaxy Note series to
have the S Pen. The S Pen for the Galaxy Note 8 has a 0.7 mm tip
that's fine and precise like your favourite pen, so you can draw and write with
accuracy. If you need to undo, just press the button at the side to turn S Pen
into an eraser.
4096 pressure levels – Control the flow
Create fine or broad strokes just as you would with a brush. The S Pen has
4096 levels of pressure to more accurately respond to the touch of the pen tip,
giving you control whether you're note-taking or sketching.
The dual camera with dual OIS.
Take crisp and clear shots with the Galaxy Note 8's dual camera. Its telephoto
camera has 2× optical zoom to let you zoom in clearly. And both cameras have
optical image stabilisation (OIS) to produce photos that come out beautifully
clear even when taken with a shaky hand!
Live focus – Bokeh effect comes into play
Get the focus you want before you press the shutter button. Live focus lets you
take beautiful bokeh shots where you make your subject stand out. And if you're
not entirely satisfied, you always have the option to adjust the level of
background blur afterwards.
Dual Capture – Snap outside the frame
While you're focused on taking a Live focus photo, Dual Capture also
what's happening outside the frame. That way you get to enjoy the moments you
might have otherwise missed.
Low light camera – Ready for the night
Great photos are just a snap away even in low light situations. The Galaxy Note
8's wide-angle camera captures more light with its large 1.4µm pixels and
bright F1.7 lens, while focusing fast and accurately thanks to the Dual Pixel
Sensor.
Front camera – Turn the camera on you
Flip to the front camera to take a selfie or group shot you'll be happy to
share. Its bright lens keeps details clear even in low light, while Smart Auto
Focus tracks the faces in the shot.
Expandable memory – Keep creating new memories
Every day brings new memories to make. Keep them on your Galaxy Note 8 and
continue to create new ones with a storage capacity that's expandable by up to
256GB via microSD card (MicroSD card sold separately).
The performance that drives yours
10nm AP + 6GB RAM – Powerfully fast – Playing visually rich games or
switching between apps is a breeze. The 10nm mobile processor works with the 6GB
RAM to make it happen fast and seamlessly.
Gigabit LTE + Gigabit Wi-Fi – Data at gigabit speed
Browse the web, download files, and stream videos with speed and ease. The
Galaxy Note 8 supports both gigabit LTE and gigabit Wi-Fi, meaning that
it's built to give you exceptional connection speed by tapping into network
speeds that can go as high as 1 gigabit per second. Actual speed may vary by
country, carrier, network environment, content provider, and other relevant
factors.
Vulkan API gaming – Gaming in the fast lane
Games heavy with graphics feel light on the Galaxy Note 8 because it supports
Vulkan API. With Vulkan making fast connections between computing and graphics,
what you get is beautifully smooth performance that doesn't drain your battery
as much as its predecessor. Turn on full screen mode in Settings to enjoy a
greater view when playing.
Quality sound – Soundtrack your moments
Good music deserves to be heard through good earphones. The Galaxy Note 8 comes
with earphones tuned by AKG and packed with 11F woofers and 8F tweeters. It also
comes with 3 months of Google Play Music on us, so you can put those earphones
to good use by listening to over 40 million songs, ad-free and on-demand.
