In India, it comes packed with Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 octa-core backed by 6GB RAM, 64GB internal storage and a 3,300mAh battery with fast wire/wireless charging capabilities.

Having learnt from the Galaxy Note 7 fiasco, Samsung has implemented a broad range of internal quality and safety measures to improve product safety, including the eight point Battery Safety Check (BSC) and additional protocols like multi-layer safety measures.

The Galaxy Note 8 is touted to be the safest Samsung phone to date, unless you physically damage it.

As far as photography is concerned, the Galaxy Note 8 comes with top-of-the line camera hardware.

It houses a dual-camera system — one 12 MP primary camera (Wide-angle lens with f/1.7 aperture and dual-pixel autofocus) and a 12 MP Telephoto camera (f/2.4 aperture and 2x Optical Zoom) with OIS (Optical Image Stabilisation).
