The phone still has a headphone jack, so you won't be forced to by the Gear IconX hearables if you don't want them. After all of our hands on time with the Note 8 it has us convinced: this is a true redesign of not just the Note series, but of the average smartphone from top-to-bottom, edge-to-edge, and rear camera to, well, rear camera. It has also added the best part of a centimetre to the phone’s height, and the most obvious difference when viewing the Note 8 next to the Galaxy S8 is how much taller is this handset.

These phones use the same processor as the Note 8 – in the UK you’ll get the octa-core Exynos 8895 with integrated ARM Mali-G71 GPU but in other areas Samsung specifies the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835, the same chip that has featured in multiple 2017 flagships. Samsung has yet to deliver dual front-facing speakers like the Sony Xperia XZ Premium, or customizable Hi-Fi audio like the LG V30.Second, the big screen also comes at the cost of the Note’s usual oval-shaped fingerprint sensor home button.

QHD+ display, the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor (or Samsung’s own Exynos 8895, depending on region), 6GB of RAM and 64GB of expandable storage. Of course there’s also an iris scanner, should you want to bypass the fingerprint scanner altogether. But the battery used here has gone through significant testing to ensure it’s up to scratch, and Samsung has also adjusted the Note 8’s design to help ensure things don’t get too hot. We took a look at some of them on a trip to Korea before the Galaxy S8 launch, but I think the best proof of these procedures is the success of the S8 and S8+.The Note 8 has plenty of storage for all your files, with 64GB internal as standard and expansion up to 256GB posible via microSD. Microsoft apps for Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneDrive are preinstalled, along with various Google apps and some Samsung utilities.

Aside from one scorching flaw, I think we can agree that the Note 7 was a remarkable Android handset. Colours are natural and true to live, and there’s no evidence of blurring even at the extreme edges of the image. Here's where we have to make some guesses, because we just don't have the information as of this writing. inch ‘Infinity Display’ to work with – but one that doesn’t increase the dimensions of the actual phone too much. However, battery life is merely acceptable, the screen could be brighter, and the phone is very expensive.Meanwhile, we can't count out the possibility that the new iPhone or Pixel will have some crazy-amazing camera technology. Both are 10nm chips, which promise large performance and efficiency gains over last year’s 14nm chips – as much as a 30 percent increase in efficiency, 27 percent increase in performance, and 40 percent decrease in power consumption.
