S PEN
A whole new way to communicate
Use the S Pen to express yourself in ways that make a difference. Draw your own emojis to show how you feel or write a message on a photo and send it as a handwritten note. Do things that matter with the S Pen.

CAMERA
Clear and steady photos even in low light
Get crisp photos even when it's dark and it's difficult to keep your phone steady. The Galaxy Note8's dual camera comes with great low-light capabilities that you've come to expect from Galaxy phones, while the telephoto lens gives you 2x optical zoom for you to capture the near and far. Both have optical image stabilisation so you get steady shots even when zoomed in.

PERFORMANCE
Do more with the high-performing phone
Whether you're downloading games or multitasking, it's fast and seamless on the Galaxy Note8, because the high-performing 10nm mobile processor and 6GB RAM make things run smoothly. Plus, with wireless charging capabilities, power is on your side.

DESIGN
The Infinity Display that's larger than life
More screen means more space to do great things. Go big with the Galaxy Note8's 6.3" screen*. It's the largest ever screen on a Note device and it still fits easily in your hand.

PHONE+
Connect to a bigger world with Phone+
The Galaxy Note8 is your portal to a new world when connected to this range of devices and interfaces. It's a world where boundaries are pushed and barriers broken, so you can see more, share more, and do a whole lot more—effortlessly.

Samsung DeX
Turn your phone into a desktop-like experience
Some things are just done faster and better when you have a full-size keyboard and a big monitor. With your Galaxy Note8 and the DeX Station*, you only need to connect to a monitor, keyboard, and mouse and that hotel lobby or airport lounge is now your new office.
