About Samsung Galaxy Note 8

The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 presents a vivid visual experience with its 6.3‑inch AM‑OLED panel, delivering sharp detail at a resolution of 1440 by 2960 pixels. Encased in a slim frame measuring 74.6 mm wide, 162.5 mm tall and just 8.6 mm thick, the device feels substantial yet manageable in the hand, weighing 197 grams. The single‑SIM configuration keeps the layout clean, while the color‑rich screen promises deep blacks and vibrant colours for media consumption and productivity alike.

Under the surface, the phone runs Google Android 7.1.1 Nougat, supported by 6 GiB of RAM that enables smooth multitasking and responsive app performance. A 3300 mAh battery provides the power needed to keep the display and processor running through a typical day of use. These core specifications combine to offer a balanced blend of screen quality, build dimensions and everyday usability for the Galaxy Note 8.

This variant

The SM‑N950J variant is 2 grams lighter than the standard Galaxy Note 8, tipping the scales at 195 g while keeping the same dimensions and internal hardware.

Compared with the other listed Note 8 models, this version supports WiMAX 2+ connectivity instead of the TD‑LTE bands found in most variants and retains a single‑SIM slot, whereas many of the alternatives are offered as Duos dual‑SIM editions.
