The Galaxy Note8, Samsung’s third flagship phone of the year, features a bigger 6.3-inch Infinity Display so consumers can view more and scroll less. Its enhanced S Pen1 allows users to capture Screen off memos, create Live Message2 and multitask on the go. It also offers Samsung’s best-ever smartphone camera and Samsung’s first dual camera smartphone, with two 12MP rear cameras and the world’s first smartphone with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) on both wide-angle and telephoto lenses.
