>500

Can you please confirm that Note 8 has only 30 gb available internal memory ?S8 has 46 gb available so I find it hard to believe that this is indeed the case

Thank you for confirming that ×2 zoom is good this is one thing that interests me in this phone . I wonder if for the portrait mode the person has to be not further than a certain distance from the phone like in iPhones case ? Anyway I am happy to hear the camera sounds good . Can't wait to see reviews though

Also congrats Tsepz hopefully you will receive it in the 15th . Are you receiving anything extra ? Here in UK preirders are getting the dex thing for free

@aussieland1 my friend back in England sent me this.
Take a look at @ToonFan85's Tweet: https://twitter.com/ToonFan85/status/901145880752947200?s=09

Quite shocking if you ask me.

1. Have checked 2 devices. Very close to retail firmware. Both are ~50gb.
2. Have successfully used Live Focus mode at a distance of 4-5 meters. Haven't tried further.

Thank you so much for the prompt reply . This has made me again consider this device. I find it interesting that you said 50 gb though as my s8 plus uses approx 17 gb for system files - this means that somehow Samsung managed to reduce the system files size on note 8? Anyway not complaining - I would rather have too much storage then too little

Also thank you for confirming the live focus, 4-5 meters are plenty I would definitely not need more than that

Does note 8 come with full Bixby on it ? (I mean voice commands ). Did you try it ? Is it any good ? Also out of 6gb of RAM how much is available . I am wondering how much difference extra RAM makes in real life usage. I imagine it should help when multitasking (I.e. use 2 apps at the same time)

@Tsepz_GP-good choice.also pre-ordered midnight black note 8.
@aussieland-dont think the note will use that much storage as my S8+ still has 43gb free with system storeage and my apps added.

To think that I was so close to getting a Sony XZ Premium, I would have hated myself had I done so as I am truly loving the Note8's design and that enormous display

Nothing against the XZP, but since getting the S7 Edge I have realised that a 5.5inch Display simply isn't enough I am a heavy media consumer, and each year I get worse, I watch more and more movies and series on my phone in bed, at this point I watch more series and movies on my phone than on the TV and iPad combined, lol.

I kind of wish Sony and HTC joined Samsung, Huawei and LG in making these phablet beasts, I'd love to see another top end Xperia Ultra model.

Anyway back to Note8

I know it is a sponsored blog post, but I am almost pretty much sold on the Black Spigen 'Thin Fit' case it is in my Amazon shopping cart but I won't pull the trigger until I've seen SPECK, Muvit and Case Mate's offerings.

@daviep

Thank you. I also have S8 plus and noticed the same thing . >500 has already confirmed that it has around 50 gb available (Which is more than s8 plus )

Played with a Note 8 today in car phone warehouse store. It felt nice and the screen curves not as pronounced as s8 I thought . (Maybe because of s pen )

I checked of course the space available to user and it was same as what xperia junkie posted however I noticed the phone was on retail mode which always skews the internal available storage . In light of this and what >500 said I am fairly certain the available storage will be same or better as S8 plus

Battery timed from Samsung...as expected not as good as s8 plus

Well, both devices were 48-49.5gb. Most of the software is the same is the S8, with the obvious differences being the features specific to the Note taking up more space, Ie, Air command. I'm confident it will be somewhere between 45-50gb.

Bixby will feature yes. As you probably already know, voice command is now available globally, though just US english. Availabe RAM I have not checked. Like you said, might help a little with multitasking, although not much different with 4gb phones. Biggest differences would come with things like DEX, App Pair etc.

How did you find the size of the phone? Did you notice differences in thickness/weight compared to s8+, as the rest of the dimensions aren't too different. Edges are definitely not as pronounced as s8, obviously due to S-Pen uses. Also, retail modes on Samsung phones are only ever 2-3GB, plus any other junk apps they have installed for the showroom, like games etc.

@Tsepz_GP
Get the green alcantara case. It's very nice in person. I want one for my s8's.
