1 Con: Android
In terms of overall user experience, ease of navigation and cohesiveness of UI elements, the Note 8 is a mixed bag. Personally, I don’t have a problem with the Android OS — aside from its myriad of impossible-to-work-around firmware and security issues, of course — but still, it’s definitely not for everyone.
While the phone’s performance and speed are great, it’s obvious that Samsung’s TouchWiz UI, bloatware, and other behind-the-scenes Android system processes are slowing this thing down — big time. Even still, the Note 8 is overall a great device, and it should definitely be able to hold its own until the Galaxy Note 9 comes out.
