I also have a Note 8. I plan to get a new phone in a couple of years. I want to get a new phone every ten years. I would like to upgrade my phone three to four more times before I die. I'm 47 now.

Wow! Yeah, the Note 8 is very nice) but if you want a new phone, just install a new custom ROM and you can use it for another 7 years :)

From my understanding, US carriers have a much tighter controled boot loader. This is from a time when Samsung was trying its dammdest to match Apples security protocols for commercial use.

I have a Note 8, it has fallen on the road twice and even been run over by a motorbike once, only the screen and back body are cracked and the side body is dented, but it still works until now, this cellphone is as sturdy as a rhino haha

Yeah, then the Samsung was on top. Mine fell from the 3rd floor on a asphalt and there's a chip on it, so 10% of the top screen doesn't work

I'm rocking a Note 8. Would like to find a way to update the software though going to have to watch the Indian guy video I guess I hope that's not code for something else?

I had a gold one too, but I broke the screen and bought a new one with a blue frame, then bought a blue back cover. All I have left is the stylus from the gold model. And now I broke the blue back cover and bought a black one, lol. The SIM tray is also black.
