I was excited to upgrade my Note 5 to the new Note 8, after looking at the specs and comparing between the Note 5 and S8+ my first option will be to keep the Note 5 longer, the upgrades and features in the new Note 8 does not justify the price tag, I rather upgrade to the S8+ that only have a slightly disadvantage in performance how ever the S8+ have the same Ram so it does not bother me the disadvantage and for the price tag the S8+ is a no brainer. I said that you have two options of you are looking to upgrade your Note 5 or any other phone. 1. Note 5 users - Stay with the Note 5 and wait for the next Note or go for the S8+. 2. Other phone users, the S8+ is a no brainer go for it, you will love it. For Samsung - Today 8/28/2017 I declared another Note effort of FAIL, get your act together an bring real upgrades, I been a loyal Samsung customer for the last 10 yrs. from Cellphones to TV Screens, tablets, etc., they all are great but you are failing to bring back the Rhino of the phones. The Note 5, S8+ are great hits, give me a Note 9 that I cant resist to buy it with real upgrades, a step up from the rest.
