Introducing the Samsung Galaxy Note 8

Samsung's latest is the kind of all-in-one device that helps get the job done in style

Samsung's premium phablet lais back – and it means business. With its multitasking-friendly 6.3-inch quad display, redesigned Intelligent S Pen, and dual cameras with both optical zoom and optical image stabilization, the Samsung Galaxy Note8 is a phone for all seasons.

Do more with a bigger screen

The Galaxy Note8's 6.3-inch 18.5:9 Super AMOLED Infinity Display boasts immense colour depth and intense clarity. Better still, it provides an enormous amount of screen space for a pocketable device, making it ideal for reviewing documents and running two apps – which you can launch with a single tap – side by side. (And no one will blame you if, once your work is done, you take advantage the Note8’s phenomenal display to watch the occasional TV show or movie.)

Capture professional-grade photos

Need to snap photos of your company’s products or projects? The Samsung Galaxy Note8's rear dual-lens 12-MP shooter combines 2x optical zoom with optical image stabilization to let you capture crystal-clear pictures at both near and medium distance. More than that, it comes with plenty of handy features, such as the ability to take portrait and landscape shots simultaneously, and adjust bokeh and blur effects in real time, just like a pro.

Work smarter with a more intelligent S Pen

If you prefer styluses to touchscreen typing, Samsung's redesigned Intelligent S Pen will make your notetaking easier. It delivers a wealth of intuitive possibilities, including improved handwriting-recognition capabilities, and the ability to send handwritten messages and drawings via messenger apps. It can also be used to highlight and instantly translate foreign language text and convert currencies, or to quickly scrawl out notes while on a call.

Plug in to DeX

Who needs a desktop (or even a laptop) when the Galaxy Note8 can do the same job at a fraction of the size? Just plug your Note8 into Samsung DeX station (sold separately), and then connect a keyboard, mouse and monitor to enjoy the benefits of a traditional desktop experience. Work on files, go through email, browse the Web, check notifications – minus the bulk and expense of a traditional PC.

Bixby, your virtual concierge

Many small-business owners could benefit from a personal assistant, but few can afford an extra salary on the payroll. That's where Samsung's AI aid, Bixby, comes in. Just say, "Hey, Bixby...," followed by whatever you need at the moment. Weather details, contact information, stock reports, your day’s schedule, text messaging, email, photos – Bixby is connected to, and can instantly access, all of these things and more.
