The Infinitive Value
SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE8 DESIGN STORY
We normally organize our thoughts and even dive into the sea of our
imaginations while we write. The act of writing itself is a timeless symbol
that represents the human persona. This is the reason why the Galaxy Note
Series has always pursued the essence of humanity itself that remains still
even after eons of technological advancement. Meet the all new design for
the Galaxy Note8 that takes a step closer to our users and seeks to
propagate the joy in our lives.
Innovation Found
in the Essence
The Galaxy Note Series has always advanced with the
essence of ‘transcription’ in mind. The Galaxy Note8’s
silhouette has been made sturdier and more concise
for users to keep the product close for note-taking in
any situation. Its sensitive and refined product design
now naturally blends into the surroundings to
accompany users in all circumstances.
-
A Sturdy and Concise
SilhouetteThe body of the Galaxy Note8 is designed to embody solidity
and endurance. Its aesthetic appeal is refined for users to
experience the raw beauty of the product. The square frame
is there to carry on the unique heritage of the Galaxy Note
Series. The newly improved dual lens of the back-side camera
fits naturally within the curves of the product’s surface,
altogether creating a wonderfully smooth silhouette that
is without any protrusions. -
Material Packed with
Premium DensityThe Galaxy Note8 exudes profound depth formed through
time and relentless effort. A polishing method that brushes
the material up to 500 times in a second for a total of 25,000
times adds brilliant shine that comes from the heart of the
material itself. The same method has been applied to the
frame as well, allowing for a seamless flow between the front
and back sides of the product. We kept artificial glossiness to
a bare minimum and endowed the product with a natural glow
by increasing its density. The smooth and immaculate texture
of the material is akin to the surface of fine pottery, providing
a sense of comfort to its users. -
Colors
Imbued with
Values of
the Galaxy NoteEveryday colors carry a rich variety of shades depending on mood and light. The Galaxy Note8
showcases a new expression of color that makes the product more appealing the longer you use
it. Black, the color of timeless virtues, represents a strong presence of dignity. Gray, the neutral
color that sets new trends, brings about a soothing notion of serenity. Blue, a newcomer that
represents the heritage of Samsung Electronics and breathes life into the material aesthetics
of the Galaxy Note8, signifies trustworthiness of the product. The Gold color has been enriched
further to grant a touch of luxury and class that sets the Galaxy Note8 apart from others.
*Gold model only available in certain countries. -
Designed for People
We live in an age where our desires are strong and broad, and our capacity for multi-tasking is at its peak.
These are the days when technology must transform to better cater to the comforts of people.
The Galaxy Note8 enables users to witness more and accomplish bigger things.

More Note-like
with the Infinity
DisplayThe Galaxy Note8 is equipped with the Infinity Display that has a ratio of 18.5:9, which is larger
than previous Galaxy Note Series. Applications for the S Pen has been enhanced to provide
the most optimal experience of using the Note by minimizing the R value of the corners and
maximizing the flat surface area. The Infinity Display is designed to perfectly complement
the Galaxy Note8, and on top of that, the display provides a refreshing aura of openness to
its users when turned on. -
-
Inheriting the Sensibilities
of the NoteThe accessories for the Galaxy Note8 are designed to both protect the product
and offer a contemporary look and feel that can easily blend into a wide array
of lifestyles. Galaxy Note8’s accessories have also been designed to focus on
the standing function for those who enjoy watching contents on the Note8’s
large screen, or for those who desire to take notes on the product’s wide screen.
The Protective Cover that shields the product from harm and the Clear Cover
that helps keep a clean look are accessories both designed to stand on its own
to help users enjoy a convenient digital lifestyle.
*Accessories are sold separately.
When Technology
Gives Birth to Creativity
Creativity creates new technology, and this technology in turn aids
peoples’ creative pursuits. The Galaxy Note8’s new functions grant
a creative digital life for users by making it possible to immediately
realize their ambitions and aspirations rather than just leaving it
to their imagination.

Two Lenses,
Twice the FunctionWe have two eyes because it is an evolutionary response to discern our
perceptive and sense of distance toward objects more clearly. The Galaxy
Note8 is equipped with dual lenses on the back-side camera which offers
camera technology that is far advanced than versions with a single lens.-
The Galaxy Note8’s camera gauges the distance between the camera and the subject, providing
a real-time out-of-focus effect that holds the subject in absolute clarity and blurs the background.
If you press the Live Focus button, the level of blurring can be controlled so that users can
experience both shallow and deep depths in a single photograph. -
Until now, the zoom function in smartphone cameras have always yielded in a drop in picture
quality. But the Galaxy Note8’s dual camera can zoom into twice the distance with zero loss
to picture quality in high-resolution settings with just a touch of the zoom button on the bottom.

The Pen, the Most Basic
Method of WritingA quick memo written by hand maximizes memory capacity
for short and meaningful moments you have throughout the
day. The S Pen that comes with the Galaxy Note8 helps users
perform various functions and secure their precious ideas
and revelations.-
Users can pull out the S Pen and write a note immediately on the Screen Off Memo, and pin
it on the Always On Display (AOD) to get necessary information whenever and wherever.
Users can also edit memos that have been pinned to the AOD instantly. With the S Pen,
the act of note-taking will never cease to evolve. -
The Galaxy Note8 adds awe-inspiring convenience to your digital life. Contacts, URL, or E-mail
addresses written in hand can be saved, and once you hover over the View Mode with the S Pen,
the icons will pop up. With a touch of these icons, users can immediately call a number, connect
to a URL, or send an E-mail. This incredible union of analog notes and digital technology is in
itself an illustration of the advancement of the Galaxy Note Series.

Gifts
in Everyday Moments
Joyful moments in our everyday lives often come from small happenings throughout the day.
The Galaxy Note8 instills resonating sensibility into an otherwise bland phone call or a dull
exchange of messages to fashion moments of your day into joyful occasions

The Sentiments of
Both Analog and DigitalThe analog familiarity of a hand-written letter gives us moments
*Live Message function may not be supporting in all apps.
of personable warmth. If you can send hand-written messages
to your friends and family, their daily lives will shine as if they
had received a precious gift. Through the Galaxy Note8’s Live
Message function, users can exchange hand-written messages
that are able to express personal thoughts, which are usually
harder to capture with just digital text or images. We’ve also
added a touch of everyday style and sense with the three pen
types, Sparkle, Glow, and Ink.

More than Words
A single image can paint a thousand words and express
emotions that are hard to convey in text. In a digital world
where face-to-face interactions aren’t as prevalent, we can
exchange warmth with one another and transcend beyond
words by utilizing a wide variety of sticker expressions.
The Galaxy Note8 provides a Sticker function that helps
users communicate vivaciously and instantaneously. You
can download fun stickers from the Galaxy Apps Store
and use them in different ways in the phone call, contact,
camera, and photo editor apps. On top of that, you can
create your own collection of stickers using the Samsung
Theme Creator Tool, which requires no additional coding. -
Pleasant Beats
by the PenThe Pen Beat is a rhythm made by drumming your pen on different objects. The Galaxy Note8’s
ringtone has been created by incorporating the sounds made by the S Pen, which represents the
identity of the Galaxy Note Series. The sound created from the harmonic mixture of beat-boxing
and the rhythm of the S Pen, will serve as a pleasant theme for the daily life of a millennial in
the form of a ringtone or alarm sound.
The Galaxy Note8 spearheads experiences of human creativity with
immutable values. Its design took another step closer to our everyday
lives, filling each moment with brilliant radiance, and these moments
will come together to enrich our lives with distinction.
