In an interesting turn of events, Samsung has released a new software update for the Galaxy Note 8 and brought over two unique camera features from the Galaxy S9 and the Galaxy Note 9. One of them is AR Emoji and the other is super slow-mo videos, although it's called Super Slow-motion on the Note […]
We reported a few days ago that the My Emoji Maker app could be coming to the Galaxy Note 8. This hinted that perhaps the device might get the AR Emoji feature that debuted with the Galaxy S9 and is also present on the Galaxy Note 9. Samsung is rolling out a new firmware update […]
It appears that Samsung could bring the My Emoji Maker app to other Samsung devices like the Galaxy Note 8. It was introduced with the Galaxy S9 earlier this year and has so far not been released for any other device. Multiple Galaxy Note 8 and Galaxy S8 users have noted online that they have […]
The August 2018 security patch was released for all of Samsung's flagships from (and including) the Galaxy S8 very early, before Google had the chance to publish details about the patch (and just before it released Android 9.0 Pie). The Galaxy Note 8 is now receiving another software update with the August patch. It has […]
Samsung has a habit of being bullish on its new flagship smartphones. What smartphone manufacturer wouldn't?. While the jury's still out on Samsung's initial claim that the Galaxy S9 sales would outperform the Galaxy S8, Samsung today said that it expects the Galaxy Note 9 sales to beat the Galaxy Note 8. The Galaxy Note […]
The Galaxy Note 9 is, plain and simple, a tempting upgrade for even Galaxy Note 8 owners. It brings plenty of new features that aren't available on the Note 8, such as stereo speakers, a bigger battery, an S Pen that works as a remote, Super Slow-mo video recording, and up to 512GB of internal […]
Last year, the Galaxy Note 8 brought the Note lineup into the modern age following the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+. In addition to the Infinity display, the Galaxy Note 8 was also the first Samsung flagship with dual rear cameras. Thanks to the fact that the Galaxy Note 7 was taken off the market, the […]
In a surprising move, Samsung released the latest security patch for its flagship phones at the start of the month. The company usually updates its mid-range and budget phones with a new security patch before it makes its way to the flagships, but in August, we have seen the security patch update arrive on the […]
Samsung has started pushing out the August 2018 security patch to the Galaxy Note 8 and the Galaxy S9. For the first time in months, it's the company's flagships that have received the latest security patch before mid-range and budget devices. And it's impressive to see that Samsung is rolling out the update to two […]
The Galaxy Note 9 may end up being sold at exactly the same price as the Galaxy Note 8, at least for the base variant that offers 128GB of storage. We have heard rumors supporting this possibility before, and there were also reports that said the Note 9 would command a solid premium in Europe. […]
Countless leaks and reports have essentially confirmed that Samsung will be shipping a new S Pen with the Galaxy Note 9. The company does update the stylus with every new iteration of its flagship phablet. In addition to the host of new features that the Galaxy Note 9's S Pen will bring to the table […]
Ever since it detailed the latest security maintenance release earlier this month, Samsung is now gradually rolling out the July 2018 security patch to compatible devices. The update has already been released for the Galaxy J2 Pro, Galaxy J6, Galaxy S8 and the Galaxy A7 (2017). It's now out for the Galaxy Note 8 (SM-N950F). […]
Samsung is all set to unveil the Galaxy Note 9 on August 9 (see how that rhymes?), and the official pricing and release dates for various markets will be two key pieces of information that we will get at the Unpacked event. The latest rumor tells us the release date may be set for August […]
Samsung is rolling out an update to the Samsung Calendar app via the Galaxy Apps store. The update brings stickers support in calendar to the Galaxy S8 and Note 8 users. Until now, Samsung Calendar supported stickers only on the Galaxy S9/S9+ but is now available on older flagship devices as well. While some might […]
Samsung has released another Galaxy Note 8 update in markets like Germany and the Netherlands following a recent update that brought the June 2018 security patch to the device. The new update doesn't bump up the security patch and its changelog doesn't mention what's new, so it's unclear why the two updates have come out […]
