Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Compared With Essential Phone

The Galaxy Note series has come a LONG way since its origins back in 2011. Back then it was the first big form iphone parts, the first phablet, and a huge number of people in the industry just didn't take it very seriously; it received a fair bit of flak for its size from critics, but consumers loved it anyway, and it sold in droves. The series has gone from strength-to-strength in the years that followed, and has often acted as a testbed for Samsung technologies; the Galaxy Note Edge, for example, launched alongside the Galaxy Note 4 as the first smartphone with a curved OLED display. The only fly in the ointment to date has been the ill-fated Galaxy Note 7, the one responsible for "explosiongate" where the phone's batteries were unstable and volatile. After a messy recall, Samsung is now back on form with the Galaxy Note 8.

Samsung's much-anticipated Galaxy Note 8 phablet is now official, with the wraps having been taken off at a "Samsung Unpacked" event in New York on August 23. Sales went live globally on September 15 following a pre-order period.

The announcement came, as usual, following an extremely long period of leaks, rumours, speculation, and general excitement; the hype train, in other words. Unsurprisingly, the picture we had of the Galaxy Note 8 just ahead of its launch was pretty much 100% spot on accurate, as all the leaks up until that point had coalesced into giving us a full run-down of what to expect. Such is the nature of the rumour mill these days.

As the leaks tipped, for the most part, the Galaxy Note 8 apple parts is very similar to the Galaxy S8+, due to the 6.3in screen diagonal being only 0.1in bigger and.

Typically for the Galaxy Note series, it shares a lot of tech and design features with the Galaxy S8 range from the same year. Amongst them, it has the same processor and uses the same design of an edge-to-edge curved Super AMOLED Infinity Display (QHD+).

It's more squared off in shape though, and it packs the S-Pen stylus with added multitasking features, as well as the much-hyped dual-sensor camera. Other prominent features include the addition of more RAM and onboard storage.

It's not landing in a quiet marketplace, however. A Google Pixel 2 launch is imminent - October 4, to be exact - and right now we've just seen Apple drop the iPhone X, iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus, while Nokia has just unwrapped the Nokia 8 Android flagship for a rather spectacular return to the industry. Not to mention the likes of the OnePlus 5 already in the wild, and Huawei's Mate 10 series is also landing in mid-October.

Then there's Andy Rubin's Essential Phone (PH-1) debuting as a kind of Nexus/Pixel rival that will also give Samsung a run for its money.

The Essential Phone, aka the Essential PH-1 (its official title), is the brainchild of Andy Rubin, co-founder of the Android OS and considered by many to be the true father of the platform. The Essential Phone is pretty much another crack at the Google Nexus/Pixel concept of a streamlined, stripped-down handset optimised for running pure vanilla Android as it's supposed to be. It packs some interesting features such as a Titanium body and its own dual-camera hardware, it's also got plenty of other flagship level specs such as Qualcomm's S835 processor.

The Essential Phone has begun shipping to pre-order customers, with the company confirming the fact in a Tweet. Essential began taking pre-orders just over a week ago and customers received notifications via email that their devices would be shipping within a week of those initial orders. The Tweet confirms Essential is following up on those plans.

"We're beginning to ship Essential Phone! Please look out for an email today with tracking info. We appreciate everyone's patience!"
