Samsung officially released its new flagship Galaxy Note8 on August 23. The biggest improvement this time is to add dual cameras. This is the first dual camera dual OIS optical anti shake mobile phone on earth. And we Love to play computer games The first time I got the real machine, let's take a look:

appearance
PS: The back cover of some engineering machines is not coated, and the color and reflective effect are slightly different from those of mass production machines
Galaxy Note8 162.5mm * 74.8mm in length and width, weight 195g。 The fuselage adopts 7 series aluminum alloy (S8/S8+is 6 series), Corning's fifth generation gorilla glass. Galaxy Note8 The radian range of the four corner transition and side glass is smaller than that of S8. The overall design is more square and masculine, with more distinct edges and corners, and looks more commercial. The radius of the corresponding Galaxy Note8 screen is smaller than that of S8.
In terms of screen, the 6.3 inch full view curved screen is 18.5:9, and the border thickness is 8.7mm. Compared with Note5, the screen size is increased by 14%, and the screen proportion is increased by 32%. The layout on the top is the same as that of S8+, and also supports iris and face recognition (the square on the forehead is the code of the testing machine, which will not be available in the mass production machine).
On the back, the dual camera, heart rate sensor, LED flash and fingerprint identification module are all placed in a black area (Note8 in three colors is black), and the camera bulge is only 0.1mm. The flash part moves between the camera and fingerprint identification, making the lens and fingerprint identification farther away, and reducing the chance of accidentally touching the lens. Although the fingerprint position is still awkward, it will not always dirty the lens like S8/S8+. Black, grey and blue are different from S8/S8+.
The interface layout is the same as that of S8/S8+. Even the USB port is not centered. The biggest change is that there is an S-Pen in the lower right corner, which can be pressed to eject.
S-Pen Tip diameter 0.7mm (Note5 1.6mm), Support 4096 level pressure sensing (Note5 is 2048 level), as well as Note7 Screen notes. The appearance design of S-Pen is similar to that of Note7.
The biggest hardware improvement of this time is the addition of dual cameras with 12 million pixels. It is also the first dual camera system on the earth that supports dual OIS optical anti shake. The main camera maintains the F1.7 aperture consistent with S8/S8+, and the viewing angle is 77 degrees. The telephoto camera has double focal length, F2.4 aperture, 45 ° angle of view, and supports up to 10x magnification (2x optical zoom x 5x digital zoom).
Compared with S8+
The layout of S8/S8+and Note8 is highly coincident. The biggest difference is that the camera part is added with a frame, and the LED flash and heart rate sensor are placed under the dual camera protection glass. Fingerprint recognition is independent on the outside.
The screen has grown to 6.3 inches, and even the 181 tall author can hold it with his hands.
System and camera
In the system detection, besides the increase of screen size, the GPU frequency of Note8 was finally adjusted to 710MHz, the GPU driver was upgraded to V207, and the S8+was V197. The national bank we got is Snapdragon 835, the main camera is IMX333, F1.7 aperture, and the front camera is 8 million pixels of IMX320.
The national version of Note 8 we got is 64G, and we use the same Samsung UFS2.1 flash memory as the European version of S8+
Note8 is equipped with Android 7.1.1 based Samsung Experience 8.5 System It is smoother, but the function changes little.
The curved screen settings have been enhanced. You can customize the color of the curved screen wallpaper, control the width and transparency, and even adjust the color of the marquee. What is very special here (the far right side of the figure above) is that there are mixed icons in the side screen shortcuts. When clicking these shortcuts, Note8 will automatically open the app corresponding to the mixed icons in a split screen. This is a very thoughtful design, which is more practical than the split screen of many domestic ROMs.
In the Galaxy Note8 photo interface, the most obvious change is that the shutter has a button with twice the focal length and portrait mode. It supports Live Focus and background virtualization. You can adjust the virtualization effect in the preview interface. It supports taking pictures before focusing. In particular, the system supports the dual shooting function (two cameras shooting at the same time).
