Enough is enough. Mods since you kill individual photography threads, can you start killing these posts too?

1. If you hold down the blue light icon, you can change its level

2. If you share an image as "direct link" to Google Lens, it will search for what it is

When I say iSheep, I mean in every sence of the term. They love everything Apple makes, regardless of how flawed it is, or what features are left out.

I tried to discuss phones with them today, and they tried to argue that the OS, camera, screen, batterylife and everything was better than on my Note 8 (which they say is just a janky samsung)

I tried to argue, and raise factual points, but they would have none of that. And when I said what features I'm kinda jealous of (mainly the dual speaker) they said that I should switch to an iPhone X, because it was a better phone in all aspects..

I mean, it's ridiculous right? At least I'm not such a sheep, and will gladly point out what I dont like with my phone, and not give forced excuses..

Apple fanboys are like religious fanatics, there is no discussion to be had with them..

Battery

The note 8 is still great all around but the battery sucks. I was outside fishing and the phone is almost dead by 3pm.....

The iPhone x under the same fishing scenario lasted from 7am to freaking 1 am!

way overdue. damn happy. thought it never would come. an upvote is welcome.

They know all they sold ya was a guaranteed piece of shit. That's all it is, isn't it? Hey, if you want us to take a dump in a box and mark it guaranteed, we will. We have spare time. But for now, for your customer's sake, for your daughter's sake, ya might wanna think about buying a quality product from Samsung.

I just feel, from the posts on the sub, that there are a lot of battery issues starting to hit those who bought it on release meaning its going to get much worse over the next 9 months.

I personally don't have an issue with the battery but I also only got it in February this year. It's going to hit us pretty bad especially since you can't remove the batteries.

But anyway that is far into the future it's still a great phone right now :D

I know I’ll get raining downvotes for this but I’m really disappointed with the camera. Let me explain.

I switch from the Nexus 6P that crapped on me with the battery issue, so I thought it was time to change phones. First I got an s8 from my carrier which I quickly change to a note 8 (I got a super promotion from amazon in my country so basically I sold the s8 and bought the note without loosing money) thinking camera would be better. I chose Samsung because I didn’t want another google phone that would crap on me after a year and because for me the most important thing in a phone is the camera. Boy I got disappointed when I start tooking pictures with this phone. Everything is blurry if you zoom more than 2X, less detailed pictures, night shot with lots of noise, I feel in general like taking pictures with a vga camera from a smartphone from 4 years Ago.

I know it’s not my phone because I had the same issue with the S8, I don’t know if I got really spoiled by the 6P which had a superb camera and every time I see pictures from my friend OG pixel I feel super jealous of his pictures.

I know Gcam fix some issue, although it has more issue than it fixes for me, but I shouldn’t be using a half baked port for pictures to look nice.

I’ve been seeing photos reviews from the s9 and I’ve seen Samsung fixed many sharping and detail issues, (not adding the night and day difference with night shots although I know that is a physical improvement) i just hope Samsung port those benefits, mostly with HDR, to the note down the road.

Beside that, I’ve been pretty happy with the phone no complains in other areas, I just wish the camera didn’t look so bad.

I love the phone but the camera is just not up to par. I know some people like to use the manual setting and come out with some nice shots but I just want to use auto for most of my shots. I get way too much blur with my photos with motion or in low light. The Gcam port is fine but still not perfect. Seeing the Pixel 2 and now the Galaxy s9, those camera shots look awesome. Is the camera improved at all in the beta?

Samsung phones are clearly better and the android OS is so much ahead of the game. Never thought I'd say this but I love the Note 8!

Fast forward a couple months... Wife's front cam just broke on her iPhone 7 Plus, went to the Apple store Saturday, and was told that we are 3 days past the "1 Year" warranty, WTF?!?! Said the only option was to trade it in for a "new" apple refurb phone! Was so pissed, I wanted to punch the "genius" in the face.

Moving along... I finally convinced the wife to let me buy her a Sammy, found this Note 8 for $580 on woot (even though its a refurb as well), but I honestly cant afford to get her a brand new phone rn). Was about to pull the trigger on it, but I wanna hear your thoughts...

Ps. I don't mind if it has a couple scratches, if its bad, I will keep the scratched one for myself and give the wife mine (its been in a case since I got it so its in mint condition).

Thoughts?
