Samsung Galaxy Note 8

Traditionally, Notes have been more or less alike to the
Galaxy S-series flagship of the respective year, only with a bigger display and
an S-Pen. Not this one, though – with the Galaxy Note8 Samsung finally takes
the plunge into dual camera territory. And not just any dual camera – it’s the
best one there is, Samsung says. They might have a point, we theorize, looking
at the specs.
