I have one, it's pretty neat. Decent sized screen, the stylus pen is fun to mess with and feels satisfying to use. Do get a case/screen protector for it though, it's really slick in your hands.

I upgraded from an S6 Active. Pretty big improvement.

It'll be an improvement over my s6 edge plus for sure, it's basically a note 5 internally.

I got a phone case coming from Amazon same time as phone.

Holy shit I love this phone. Pair/split apps are my new favorite thing. I dunno if I can ever go back to not using that feature again.

Yep. I got one when my contract expired. It's dope. You can prearrange pair apps, then just swipe left from any screen to bring them up. Perfect for when I'm watching twitch/YouTube and texting

Having reddit or gamefaqs open while watching YouTube is amazing.

Can't do the App Pair thing because I have the S8+, but I can still put a YouTube clip up top and text on the bottom half. That's real multitasking.

*I love the battery life compared to my last phone. I work 12 hour days and am allowed to use my phone. With my last phone id have to charge it twice per shift. This phone doesn't need charging until hours after I've gotten home.

*the s pen has come in handy already, i randomly have been doing art with it too for no reason.

*with this carbon fiber and rubber case I got for it, it looks slick as fuck.

*it is really goddamn fast.

I think the battery life largely depends on how much you use it. If I spam Facebook while at work it'll be down to 25% or so by the end of my 9 hour shift. If I use it sparingly it's usually at 65% or so.

Well, for my usage, compared to my s6 edge+ it's a dream lol. I use my phone probably 10 minutes per hour give or take so it's perfect.

Nerdy fact: the s pen makes baldurs gate 2/planescape torment playable on the phone. Super easy to play with it.

I have a note 4. What's new on the newer ones?

Better camera, cpu, screen, etc.
Marginally less awful Touchwizz masquerading under a new name.
No removable battery, one of the things making phones like the Note 4 and V20 still worth getting.

Also I've read something about the battery in the S8/Note 8 getting fucked if you either root the phone or unlock the bootloader...one of those. I didn't look into it but, if it's true, then Samsung is officially a shit company.
