Why do you want to change your note 8? What do you dislike about it? I would consider anything else except a note 9, as a downgrade
I dislike the battery.I absolutely hate the speaker.It's shameful for a device of this price.I also dislike the slow updates but that is a Samsung issue overall.Touchwiz launcher is horrible but that's an easy fix.All that being said nobody makes as good of a screen as samsung,I adore the camera and the s-pen is an absolute delight.I don't know about upgrading to the note 9 simply because that'd be a net loss of 500$ for only 6 months of usage on my note 8 but I'm positive I'll be getting the S10/Note 10
I think, there are more then enough people who needs every 6 month a new device.
I don't know why.
Don't be afraid to hit the "Thanks" button if someone helped you. It don't hurts

Nothing as such I just wanna change I am hating its curve screen which has no use at all and not a single screen protector fix on it (tried 4 so far)
I like OP6 but then its camera is not as good as Note 8 camera is, secondly it has no HDR for Netflix and Amazon and its vibrations are so so weird!!
I like LG G7 ThinQ though havent tried it yet!

You will probably have a difficult time with that question in this forum since we're here because we like/love the Note series of phones. With that being said I don't disagree with the speaker part, I'm hoping the Note 9 will have stereo speakers, preferably more robust speakers to boot.
You need to get a full screen adhersion screen protector. They can be found pretty easily you just need to look for them. But I would stick with the Note 8 as it is a very good device and will probably last you for a good few years.

Yeah still its so irritating and annoying at times saw HTC U12+ really impressed with the over all feel of the phone and the camera has outstanding results, might go for it I guess!

I would only consider the Pixel 2 or 3 (if you can wait for it to come out).

Google will never release a Dual Sim variant and that sucks [emoji43]

The LG G7 and HTC U12 won't have any better battery life compared to Note 8. PIxel 2 XL would be an option. Huawei Mate 10 Pro or P20 Pro is another option. Note 9 is around the corner with 4000 mah battery which should help
Bought OnePlus 6 Mirror Black 128gb (Black Mirror is so sexy its dope, OnePlus did an amazing job), its amazing freaking fast, smooth, the gestures are nice as well. I love the full screen display with notch though so many people don't like it, you can't compare the camera with Note 8 one's but its not that bad seriously and with Gcam the pictures comes really nice.
Over all experience is so satisfying, I don't miss Note 8 at all :good:

If I were you, I would go probably for the Huawei P20 Pro.
I get puzzled by such threads? The Note series is unique as a mobile phone experience.
The S-pen is whats makes the Note, the Note. If one doesn't need or use the S-pen I cant imagine why one would purchase a Note series mobile? To that end there are no options or other choices to the SG Note 8 until the Note 9 is released shortly.
If the S-pen is not of primary use then there are numerous other mobile phones to explore.
One thing is a certainty in the mobile world, no phone will please all users. That is why there is a plethora of choices. Every mobile made has its positives also negatives, its all a question of needs and usage prioritise.
I need and use the S-pen, it makes my mobile a pocket PC.
If I didn't need the S-pen I would look at mobiles with my second priority and that is good DAC and sound quality. Some prioritise the camera or screen size, the list is endless.

so true, Ryland; plus, why do people thing anyone cares about why they hate a particular phone?
If you hate the note 8, get rid of it and get something else; no one here cares to hear your sob story about why its so awful..
BTW, even though I have had several Note phones, start with the first one, I rarely use the Spen at this point in my life; I like them for their size, their screen, and the "extras" that samsung includes in their phones...Sure, the sound sucks, but there are endless BT/Wired/Wireless speakers and head sets that make that point moot. Battery life is no issue, with wireless charging, and most of the other complaints are just silly ..
anyways, lets hope that people who dont like this phone just get rid of it, and move on, without giving us endless posts about why they hate/hated/got rid of it..no one cares!!!

I had an LG G7 ThinQ for 2-3 days, couldn't stand the UI and is on the small side for me compared to the Note 8. G7 is not slow just different when you use all these phones. Ended up giving it to my Granddaughter after 3 days.
Probably a Note 9 or an iPhone X plus
The note 8's battery is as trash as the Note 5's.
I can decide buying the S10 (normal one) or the Huawei P30 Pro.
What are your experiences with the phone so far?
Would you buy it again or should I go for the P30 Pro?
Hey mate. I was also struggling about Huawei P30 Pro. I have a S10 exynos, and my main problems with it are: battery, and camera. I was thinking a lot about exchanging my phone for P30 Pro, because of that camera and battery. But I made small research about P30 Pro, and... it's not a perfect phone. There is no perfect phone.
Check out forum about P30 Pro on XDA, and there are people complaining about different things of Huawei.
Those two last post from leoni1980 and Ady1976 kinda opened my eyes. They made really good points.

I think I'll stick to my S10, and I hope Samsung will improve night mode and the new charging speed will make the experience with Samsung better.
What are my favourite things about S10? First of all, the screen. It's great, the highest resolution is nice, but my top feaute is the reduction of blue light. Even youtubers are starting to inform about blue light and what harm can it do. Also the stereo speakers are really nice. I enjoy using OneUI with gestures and onehand+ app. No buttons on my screen, but also no one besides me know how to operate my phone Inscreen fingerprint is not perfect, but i like its position and that it can be used with wet fingers. Though my isn't always working. Huawei's interface isn't that nice from what I read.
Overall, it's a good phone, but not perfect. On some aspects Samsung didn't do their best, especially with the whole Exynos vs Snapdragon topic. And I think I'll stick with my S10, instead of trying to change it for P30 Pro.

Do not know about the P30 but I have had my S10 Snapdragon for about a month and a half. I also have the Pixel 2...
Love the S10 ..the Pixel 3a is due out anytime now and the 4 is due out in October and both will have a better camera vs the S10.
It really depends on what is important to you?
Camera? Always having the most updated software? UI ? Cost?
Do you use the Gear S3 watch? Etc, etc...
Sammy offers a nice trade in deal if you have the current S8 or S9 as well.

thanks for your replies guys .. I bought it yesterday for very cheap and I´m in love with it
Congrats and welcome aboard!
I am planning to buy a new mobile and bit confused in choosing between S10 ans S10+. I have an average use daily. Will be using it for answering calls, Browsing and Camera. Do suggest me
S10 big enough but not to big like the + which you have to sacrifice handling a bit.
coming from iphone xr to s10 plus i can say plus model is too big. But on the other hand watching videos and stuff on bigger screen is extrodinary. Go check in retail if they have test models for you to try in your hand
S10e . Also no fp problems
I´ll prefer the s10 for small form factor. Currently i own a s9Plus and i wish it was smaller.
However, the battery...
Luv my S10 Plus, but wish it was bigger... ?
Hi all I've been a note user since the note 1 lol but cause the note was cancelled this year ive gone for the s21 ultra an I ask
Does the spen pro bring all the features of the regular note series and is they any cases that are able to store the spen or am I better of getting the regular spen and the case of samsung website
Thanks
Also what are your thoughts on the whole note series I personally think samsung are working the note series out and pushing the fold devices in its place
Samsung says they'll be a Note released next year.
I have the Ultra along with the Samsung case that stores the proper S-Pen for the S21 Ultra. It works OK. It doesn't have bluetooth so you can't use it as a remote like you could on the Note. But, it draws on the screen and does all that same stuff as a Note. It just has to be really close to the screen before it does anything. That seems to be good enough for me but still I kind of hope that they don't cancel the Note series outright.

Yeah I thought the remote didn't work. That's actually for me it's most useful feature, a remote shutter release.
That and smart select.
I think it's kinda disappointing and stupid that they made the S-Pen Pro so large. You will have to carry around separately. I doubt I would do so and I doubt many others would as well.
The spen variants are getting complicated...

S Pen vs. S Pen Fold vs. S Pen Pro: What's the Difference?
Samsung now has three (actually, five) styli. Here's how to tell which is which.
au.pcmag.com
I guess the pro variant supports bt shutter release? It does some cool tricks across devices like cut/paste.
The one cool trick it can't do without a dedicated slot is safely nest. Losing and breaking these little wisps is all too easy even with a dedicated slot. So far I've avoided destroying my 10+'s spen but only narrowly.
With no physical tethering you need to keep it on a very short leash...
FYI....
Galaxy Watches and Buds 2 Pro are now better companions for your phone's camera
The Samsung Galaxy Watches and Galaxy Buds 2 Pro are now better companions for your Samsung phone's camera. Here's how.
www.androidauthority.com
Yeah I went with another pair of Buds+.
Twice the battery life and they stay in place.
There's no "wings" on the Buds2 pro to help them to stay in place. The Buds+ also double as ear protection because they are sealed.
So... once again I went with a older Samsung product then it's newer counterpart because of the lose of key features. Not to mention a significant price increase.
Losing the wing and the 5 hour battery life killed it for me. Whenever you buy one of these designs you don't know if the fit will work or not until you actually wear them.
So knowing the older design does work for me also tempered my decision. Upgrading from the original Buds to the Buds+ was an easy decision as their physical dimensions are identical, even the wings are interchangeable. Win-win the older Buds can be a parts queen now
The watches, meh, thought about it but not really that useful for me. kciD Tracey would've love them though...
