Uswitch comments on the Samsung Note 8 Launch

Commenting on the launch of the Samsung Note 8, Ru Bhikha, mobiles expert at Uswitch**.**com, says: “Samsung’s decision to stick by its Note range shows well-placed loyalty after the 7’s battery issues last year.

“The Note 8 repays this faith in spades by building on the phablet’s high spec lineage and combining it with the sharp design that has seen praise heaped on the Galaxy S8 in recent months.

“True to its sister handset, the Note 8 boasts an expansive and generously proportioned curved ‘infinity’ display.

“Under the bonnet you’ll find 6GB of memory and 64GB of storage with the option to expand via a micro SD card, as well as a fast-charging port to juice up the device’s whopper of a battery.

“It also includes Samsung’s personal assistant, Bixby, as standard – with the long-awaited UK launch of Bixby Voice finally cresting the horizon, this virtual helper should soon be functioning at full capacity.

“The Korean manufacturer has shown a degree of stubbornness though in refusing to fix the highly unpopular design decision of having the fingerprint scanner next to the camera flash – something which bothered some S8 users enough that they actually had to turn the security measure off completely.

“While sales will be the true indicator of whether Samsung has done enough to put the shadow of the Note 7 behind it, this phablet is resounding proof that the Korean manufacturer was never going to stay backed into the corner for long.”
