It’s a bright, colorful Super AMOLED model with the same Quad HD+ resolution (2,960 x 1,440 pixels) and an 18.5:9 aspect ratio.ĭespite the similarities between the Galaxy Note 8 and the Galaxy S8 Plus, we’re partial to the S8 Plus. The Galaxy Note 8’s screen isn’t markedly different from the S8 Plus’ in terms of specs, either. With the exception of the Note 8’s corners, which taper off more gradually than those on the S8 Plus, it’s tough to tell the two apart.

The Note 8’s screen is a bit larger than the Galaxy S8 Plus’ - 6.3 inches versus 6.2 inches - but it boasts the same curved bezels and narrow sides on the top and bottom. The similarities extend to the edge-to-edge screen. Neither are rated for drops or scratches, meaning they’ll both need a case to survive more than a heavily-cushioned fall. They’re both IP68 certified for water resistance, meaning they can be submerged in up to 5 feet of water for half an hour without sustaining damage. Given that the Note 8 and Galaxy S8 Plus are made from the same materials, it’s not surprising that they’re equally durable. The Note 8 has a USB-C port, a 3.5mm headphone jack, a fingerprint sensor, and an iris scanner. It’s constructed from the same metal-and-glass mix as the S8 Plus, and features the same shatter-resistant Gorilla Glass 5 casing. Take the Galaxy Note 8’s frame, for example. The Galaxy Note 8 may be bigger and blockier than the Galaxy S8 Plus, but the two phones are cut from the same cloth. Still, since it does offer more RAM, we’re giving it the win. The Galaxy Note 8’s extra memory may provide an advantage with multiasking, but it will hardly be discernible from the S8. Both the new Note and the Galaxy S8 Plus have 64GB of internal memory, and a MicroSD Card slot allows you to easily add more storage. It’s pretty much the same story in the storage department. Whether the extra RAM will be useful is still up for debate. The Note 8 comes with 6GB of memory, whereas the Galaxy S8 Plus has 4GB. (Qualcomm claims it has a 27-percent performance advantage over its predecessor, the Snapdragon 821.) But the Note 8 has an advantage: Extra memory.

The Note 8 packs Qualcomm’s octa-core Snapdragon 835 processor, same as the Galaxy S8 Plus. The Galaxy Note 8 and Galaxy S8 Plus share a lot in common.
