The design is abit weird, not as nice as note 7 in my opinion.
Note 8 is ''thin but tall'', the proportional is abit off and when handling it, is awkward.
For the software part, it is quite laggy after using about 3 months, there is a significant delay when operating the device, and considering that this is one of the Samsung high end flagship phone, it is quite disappointing that it does not run smoothly.
