Base $60/month cell plan, $749, base $70/month cell plan $549, no contract $1349. Once received, I can contact Samsung for the wireless charger (I won't use because my Note 8 will be in an Otter Defender case, also en route) and 128GB micro SD (the good 2017 EVO card from Samsung).
#Samsung handy note 8 upgrade#
I did preorder the Note 8 as an upgrade from the Note 5 I'm using right now. DeX docking also is intriguing (the Chromebook killer?) The writer forgot the most significant difference between the Note 5 and 8: The Note 8 has expandable micro SD memory (up to 256GB), the Note 5 doesn't. Based on the iPhone 8 leaks, that phone has nothing attractive. To be honest, I would still purchase macbooks and ipads, but for phones, I will go with Sammy for now and for the next few years probably.

Second, still, I found it's funny to think that you have an iPhone and you are better than others.Third, most people are not competent to use Android system, so they stuck with iphones. Still, many people are in love with iPhones, I think because here in the US, Americans are more proud to use "american" stuffs, so that's one reason. I mean compare note 8 to note 5, is like to compare iphone 7 to iphone 6, which has greater improvement? It is easy to tell. Yes it is expensive, and people will complaint, but let's just shut the mouth up for now and see how much the new iPhone costs. worth the upgrade, but I will wait to see what pre order gifts they offer, and maybe I will wait till the holiday season for a lower price/better deals. So I switched to note 5 and I LOVE it! I think Note 8 def. Also my work requires me to know everything about the phones, IOS, Android.(and the dead windows). I love my note 5.it's the second Samsung phone I ever owned (and the first one I use as a primary phone), I have used iphone since 08 and I'm tired of it. If the Note 8 price makes your eyes water, and you're not tied to the S Pen, you should look at the field of great smartphones today rather than jump right to the new Note.
Since 2015 the competition from LG, HTC and others has also caught up quite a bit, offering larger devices with great specs and many of the same features - again, sans stylus. The Galaxy S8 offers the whole experience, minus the S Pen and dual cameras, in a more compact package for those who have grown tired of the Note 5's size. The bigger question, as always, is for those who are happy with their Note 5 but not necessarily in love with it and would potentially consider something different. If you're a Note 5 owner that's still proud to have a Note, buying the Note 8 is a clear decision that you shouldn't hesitate on. On the downside, if you could call it that, it is a considerably larger phone and the fingerprint sensor move can be a vexing one.

Looking at the Note 5 to the Note 8, it's almost all upside: a larger (nicer) display, better specs, improved cameras, waterproofing, and of course the expectation of future software updates. Samsung does a fantastic job each year in designing its new phones so that they, by and large, are notable upgrades from their predecessors without losing much along the way.
The metal and glass found on that 2015 device feels just as solid as today, if not more so considering how much more exposed aluminum there is, coupled with a flat display glass that's less susceptible to damage. There's no doubt that the Note 8's hardware is great, and we already covered some of the spec and feature differences included in it, but hey the Note 5 is no slouch - even by 2017 standards. The Note 8 will be one of the first phones to get Android 8.0 Oreo, and the Note 5's prospects of getting much more than a few future security patches are slim. That will, of course, change in the near future as the Note 5 is likely at the end of its life in terms of major software updates.
That's worth a golf clap in Samsung's direction for keeping an older device up to date, but it also means you don't need to go clamoring for the Note 8 just to get new software. Assuming your Note 5 has the Nougat update, you have perhaps 90% of the same experience as a Note 8 out of the box. The same actually stands for much of the software experience. The Note 5's hardware and software actually hold up today - but the future isn't so certain. There are just a handful of new software tweaks that you aren't likely to see on the Note 5, but none of them are game-changing. but much of it has actually already come to the Note 5 in its Android 7.0 Nougat update. In the same vein, the new suite of S Pen-focused software is good. Samsung's S Pen, while slightly improved in terms of tracking, hasn't made a monumental leap forward from the Note 5 to the Note 8. Perhaps unsurprisingly, there are many things that haven't changed much in the Note world in the last two years.
