Re: Samsung Galaxy Note8
A bit late to my own party, but here I am... Aimie:Thanks for the shout-out! Regarding your comment on screen-size, Samsung do have one-handed mode included in their settings, and this was a feature introduced on the S8/S8+ and migrated across to the Note8. With this mode enabled, one can swipe from the bottom-right corner of the screen toward the centre, resulting in a miniature version of the display being dragged to the right-hand corner. This allows elements such as notifications along the top of the screen to come within reach (and also adds to an easier typing experience?). Probably a feature better shown than explained, so I will pop by later to demo. [Some tout this mode to be Samsung's equivalent of Apple's Reachability introduced on the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, I believe.] indie24: I quite like your choice of cases, especially the one from Basstop. Have you considered ones from Incipio or Ringke as well? I can tell you are going for the slim profile and I think both cater to this need (at least from past experience of using similar cases on other devices). The dual rear-camera setup on the Note8 (with OIS enabled on each), factored with the 4K recording option, are a definite plus (a step up from the S7 Edge if you are drawing that comparison). The added screen real-estate (with Samsung's Infinity Display) and S-Pen certainly contribute to the allure of the Note8. Bernard57: Welcome to the community, hope you find it useful.
