Dan Kimbrough seems to love his Note8. However, he did offer this one caveat:
The one big let down I have is the speaker. It’s weak and poorly located. There’s only one speaker for media playback. At the bottom, to the right of the charging port. If you’re left handed, that’s probably where your pinky will sit. Sorry. When holding the phone in landscape, it’s where my index finger sits. It’s possible to completely muffle the sound and not mean to, which leads to holding it awkwardly. Playing a game is rough as it becomes hard to hear anything and hold the phone comfortably.
As an aside: Samsung is inconsistent on whether or not it should be typed Note8 (without space) or Note 8 (with space). If you do a search you’ll see ads that show it both ways, videos and news headlines from reviewers that show it both was as well. Even worse, Samsung’s own web site has it 3 different ways; Note 8, Note8, and Note 8.0. Poor form Samsung. This is branding 101.
I’m sticking with Note8.
