I'm so excited to be the first few in Singapore to try out the new Samsung Galaxy Note 8, some twelve (12) hours after it was unveiled at the Galaxy Note 8 Unpacked Event in New York, USA!
My immediate thought when picking up the new Samsung Galaxy Note 8 was it has a BIG screen!
Indeed, featuring a 6.3-inch Quad HD+ Super AMOLED Infinity Display that allows users to see more and scroll less, the Galaxy Note 8 has the biggest screen ever on a Note and S-series device yet.
Interestingly, while the new Note 8 is slightly bigger than the big Galaxy S8 Plus, measuring at 162.5 (Length) x 74.8 (Width) x 8.6mm (Thickness) and weights 195 grams, its narrow body design actually creates an impression that the phone isn't THAT BIG at all to hold comfortably in one hand.

While a bigger Infinity Display on the new Galaxy Note 8 is certainly a welcome news to Note users, who have always been able to do more with the Multi Window function, the introduction of the new App Pair feature on the new Galaxy Note 8 is going to take multitasking to a new level - in the blink of an eye literally.
What the App Pair does is it allows the Note 8 user to simultaneously launch any two apps at the same time with just a single touch and both apps will each take up 50% of screen space on the new Galaxy Note 8's bigger Infinity Display.
With up to TEN (10) custom pair of apps to be created on the Edge panel, users of the new Galaxy Note 8 can now watch and draw or read and text at the same time with ease! A very practical scenario for me is to have an App Pair that will launch both the Phone App to dial into a conference call and the Memo App with the number and agenda in front of me!!
Samsung Galaxy Note 8 will come in three (3) colours - Orchard Gray, Midnight Black, and Maple Gold - and will be available islandwide from 15th September 2017 at a Recommended Retail Price of SGD1,398!
