Meanwhile, we can't count out the possibility that the new iPhone or Pixel will have some crazy-amazing camera technology.

Over the S8 Plus, the Note 8 also benefits power users with 6GB or RAM and a superior dual-lens camera, both features passed on to the S9 Plus. It’s not entirely bezel-less, but it’s close enough, with a screen-to-body ratio of 83 percent and an 18. The stylus can also be used to draw notes, even when the screen is in standby, which can then be pinned to the Always-on Display.

QHD+ display, the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor (or Samsung’s own Exynos 8895, depending on region), 6GB of RAM and 64GB of expandable storage.

The various shades of black and grey on our digger were clearly defined, the text on the bottle label easily readable, and colours again very true to life. The aluminium and glass body is now IP68 water and dust resistant, which means that the phablet can survive submersion in up to 1. Where Samsung has the leg up here, is that you can adjust the amount of blur both while taking the picture and when viewing the image in the gallery. There’s also no camera bump, and that gaudy Samsung logo has been moved to the rear, no longer staring you in the face.The entire front glows with unimpeded information – as long as you don’t drop and crack it, and you’ll need to be extra careful as the entire phone is enveloped in glass wrapped around an aluminum frame. We took a look at some of them on a trip to Korea before the Galaxy S8 launch, but I think the best proof of these procedures is the success of the S8 and S8+. Only the audio was rated average, testers noting that Sony offer much a better experience in this area.

You can even use the S Pen in Live Message to create custom-made emojis and GIFs that include your own handwriting. Samsung, annoyingly, refreshes its phones with new colors after a few months, much to the chagrin of loyal early adopters. If you want top-of-the-line specs, the most advanced camera, a stunning display, and streamlined multitasking on a phone, you’re really going to pay for them. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. But while we’d one day like to see this functionality embedded into the Note’s panel itself, for now it’s not at all as bad as you may have heard.The difference here is the larger screen makes features such as Multi Window – whereby you can use two apps onscreen at once – much more useful.

The screen has the same technology as Samsung’s Galaxy S series, with a super-high resolution Quad-HD+ Super AMOLED display (though in common with the Galaxy S8 it’s set to full-HD by default to preserve battery life). With decades of editorial experience under her belt, she’ll keep you up-to-date and connected through simple, down-to-earth information in the most budget-friendly and sustainable way possible. App Pair, for instance, lets you group two apps together and open them both at the same time with a single tap of your finger.The Camera app is therefore a little different to what you get on the Galaxy S8, now showing options for Bixby Vision, Live Focus and Stickers directly below the composition window.
