Another notable improvement over the predecessor is its camera hardware. It boast a dual-camera system ā€” a 12 MP primary camera (Wide-angle lens with f/1.7 aperture and dual-pixel autofocus) and another 12 MP Telephoto camera (f/2.4 aperture and 2x Optical Zoom) with OIS (Optical Image Stabilisation). On the front, it features an equally impressive wide-angle 8MP snapper with f/1.7 aperture.

Under the hood, it comes packed with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 octa-core/Samsung Exynos 8895 octa-core (depending on the region of sale) chipset, 6GB RAM, 64GB/128GB/256GB storage and a 3,300mAh battery with fast wire/wireless charging capabilities.

After the Galaxy Note 7 battery defect incident in late 2016, Samsung set up a broad range of internal quality and safety measures to improve the product safety, including the eight-point Battery Safety Check (BSC) and additional protocols like multi-layer safety measures.

The new Galaxy Note 8 has undergone the tests before getting the nod for mass production, to ensure that the device will not go up in flames.

Samsung Galaxy Note8 also comes with an S Pen stylus with improved pressure sensitivity and several value-added features. One notable aspect is the Screen Off memo that allows the user to take up to 100 pages of notes as soon as they remove the S Pen, pin notes to the Always On Display (AOD) and make edits directly from the AOD.
