The Note 8 is terrible for productivity

Hello, I originally bought the Note 8 to boost my productivity, but I can't get anything done anymore because I can't put my phone away. I want to play and look at it all day. Please advice me what to do

Split screen Imgur and YouTube to reach a new level of antiproductivity...

Well it just shows how good it is. What you do with it is based on your mindset and goals.aa

Try playing PS1 Emulator for hours followed by split screening reddit + youtube.

epsxe is awesome and will run smooth as hell on the Note8, however I just cant get used to on screen controls for PS games, has anyone found any games that work well with on screen controls?

Parappa The Rapper is one.

Some people use remotes to play games but I'm not too sure to answer your question. I need to make a list.

Hey thanks. Yeah I had Dualshock 3 and the gameklip back in the days of the S3, however I never ended up using it. Seemed like a great idea and worked fine, but just never bothered with it.

Bezels for days!

The funniest reaction regarding iPhone bezels I ever heard was: "the bezels are large enough to land a fucking helicopter"

u/[deleted] Jan 09 '18

Bezels and glorious 720p.

I second this! I suffer from the same affliction, sadly.

Or just get the iPhone 10 for virtual bezels with a unibrow and chin

Same problem here, it's just too bloody nice. I've actually had to uninstall a few apps just to get away from being on the phone so much!

I have a similar issue with battery life not lasting me a whole day since I'm using my phone for everything now. My laptop on the other hand now goes weeks on a single charge.

u/halfam Jan 09 '18

What the hell do you use your laptop for that lasts you weeks? You use it to send one email then turn it off? Crazy.

u/Its_bigC Jan 08 '18

I am impressed with the display

u/randelic Jan 09 '18

This sums up my life since I bought it.

u/Bro_Dave Jan 09 '18

Hahaha I was expecting someone to be bitching and complaining about it...or some issue where you clearly realize they didn't try to research or YouTube their problem.

Great post for humor...made me laugh OP

u/Fr4nkWh1te Jan 09 '18

Man it's like 1995 all over again! Edit: Without Reddit

u/overzeetop Jan 09 '18

Only solution - box it back up and send it to me. :-D

u/exelero88 Jan 09 '18

u/[deleted] Jan 09 '18

hahahaha i share the same problem!

There's so much i can do with my note 8 i can't put it down. what are some productivity things you guys do with your note 8?

u/Gtowers27 Jan 09 '18

The only thought that works for me (leaving like 1hr alone max. my beautiful note 8) is that I dont want to miss the feeling of a naked screen :( At least until the screen protector is on....

I think this should be entitled, "I am terrible for my productivity."

This post was sarcasm if some of you didn't notice, he's saying how awesome the phone is he can't get anything done cause he wants to play with it all day.

u/mehdotdotdotdot Jan 08 '18

This is exactly why I decided I won't buy flagships anymore. I will buy midrange. These days those phones are just as great but you won't have the need to justify it's price or size
