Hello Everyone,
I got my hands on galaxy note 8 quite earlier than official release. Evrything is top notch as expected from a flagship device. Following are the fews pros and cons i find in past few days

Pros:

-Camera quality is excpetionaly good, live photo is wayyyy better than 7 plus portrail mode
-Square edges improved the handling. Its more comfortable to use as compared to s8+
-S pen is fun to use
-6GB Ram improved the speed overall. Slight lag faced in s8 and s8+ is no more

Cons:

-Poor battery time, same as galaxy s8.
-Screen gets easily scratched. I have tons of scratches on the display only after a week of usage
-You cant use it one hand, reaching the top of the screen is quite difficult
-Poor speakers, louder than s8 but sound quality is poor in my opinion

Is it worth the price?

In my opinion, YES. Major issue i faced while using s8+ was poor grip. Square edges helped ALOT. Camera is top of the line (just need few software improvement).

Congratz buddy, I wish that it was smaller and cheaper. Btw it may get scratched easily if you use sPen frequently since the fine dust on the screen may scratch it against the pen's tip. Personally I think it is very expensive for a phone.

All phones are expensive at launch. Wait around 2 months and this will be available for 65-70k.

Same thing happened with the S8/S8+.
