First off, how about an unboxing video?
Now, after a week of having the Note 8 what’s my present verdict?
I love it.
I don’t know if it’s due to the fact that I haven’t had a new phone since the Note 3, the fact that it’s leaps and bounds an upgrade, or if Note 8 was the exact phone I’d been waiting for, but it’s perfect for my needs.
How do I use a smartphone?
It’s a communication device, plain and simple.
My top apps are:
- Tweetcaster
- Hangouts
- Gmail
- OurGroceries
Yes, I use other apps (like Facebook on rare occasion) but these are the top four.
Have my habits changed since getting the Note 8 at all?
Not really, except I do find myself taking more pictures. The Note 8 camera is fantastic and I think has made Redflare question if it wasn’t my previous phone’s camera (Note 3) that was the culprit of at least 25% of my bad pictures.
I can’t blame the equipment fully, I totally admit to not being a very good photographer.
I do find myself really appreciating the new gif making capabilities.
Record a video, convert it to a gif!
Draw a gif!
I drew that heart for Newbie while at the bus stop. We were waving at each other through the window. I loved seeing her face light up: Daddy drew her a heart!
It was a long-needed upgrade, and I have no regrets a week in. I look forward to this being my handy little gadget for another four or five years.
