President Koh Dong-jin of Samsung Electronics IM Sector holds a Galaxy Note 8 model smartphone that the company just put on the market  recently.

Samsung Electronics Electric and Electronic Sectors won honors for Quality Management Competitive Power Excellence at the 43rd National Quality Management Convention for the 18th year in a row, which the company attributes to it t introducing new products every year to win over the minds of the consumers, President Ko Dong-jin of the IM Sector of Samsung Electronics, said on winning the recognition.

He said the Galaxy Note 8 smart phone is the product of its fans ceaseless passion and unwavering support. Significant reformative improvements have been made in key areas such as displays, wireless charging, water proofing, and camera to meet the expectations of Galaxy fans, not just the users of the Note. The Galaxy Note 8 is equipped with a 6.3 inch infinity display with a screen 14% wider to give users the feeling that they are watching a movie.

The Galaxy Note has always been synonymous with bigger phones, and that's still very much true today. Taking on the Galaxy S8's proportions of being tall and skinny, but applying them to a 6.3-inch display, the Note 8 is tall indeed. 

At 162.5 mm, it's notably taller than the LG V30 (151.7 mm), Note 5 (153.2 mm) and iPhone 8 Plus (158.4 mm) all while also being wider and heavier as well.

Part of what users get for that added size is two rear cameras rather than one. Samsung is using the most popular formula of two sensors with the same resolution behind lenses of different focal lengths one "standard" field of view, and another that's roughly twice the length with a narrower field of view. They aren't the same sensor, though, and the longer lens has a narrower aperture of f/2.4 to the main camera's f/1.7  that means it lets in less light.

For all of that size, the Note 8's battery capacity is rather conservative at 3300mAh. As noted, that's actually smaller than the Galaxy S8+, and the same size as smaller phones like the LG G6. 

The Note 8 has been found to get users through a full day, even with pretty heavy use. 

The Note 8 is clearly the top-end device in Samsung's flagship lineup, and it has all of the best technology the company has to offer. It also has the highest price, retailing for around $950. 

The Galaxy Note 8 is offered in four different colors: midnight black, orchid grey, maple gold and deep sea blue. Users won't have a choice of all four in all areas around the world. The U.S., for example, only has the black and grey models available while one electronics franchise will be the exclusive retailer for the deep sea blue variant for three telecom companies and the unlocked model. Canada will have only black and blue.
