Great tips! I was using most of the features but still, very helpful. My husband and I upgraded from a note 4 (which we loved) to the note 8, and also switched from Verizon to Tmobile, with the buy one get one free, best decision ever, paying way less with new phones than with Verizon and have better service. I love the fact that you can customize almost everything.
This is probably the first Samsung that I didn't feel I needed to install Nova Launcher. I really do like how Samsung did this. Been using my Note 8 for six days now and loving it. Camera is amazing and I was able to run God of War smoothly with an emulator. Traded my note 5 in and never looked backed. Battery has also been good for me.
Awesome to read your experience. I was debating if using Nova Launcher or staying with Samsung launcher. I am still on my Note 5, hoping to get the Note 8 hopefully before the end of this month. I would love to play Gears of War on PPSSPP, but it is a slideshow on the N5 as you might know, lol.
Got my note 8 last Monday and I completely agree I actually like this touch wiz more than nova. I didn't expect touch wiz to be this close to perfect when getting it and I've had the note 5 and s7 edge. Beast of a phone
Teezy Chancellor I ordered it a week ago via T-Mobile store.. and then by my surprise I saw via my tmobile app that it had shipped on Wed and that I was gonna gonna get it by Friday. 3 day ups delivery. I guess i was lucky at. Cause i never am ha
I don't know about the rest of you, but I prefer the placement of the fingerprint scanner. If you register your index finger rather than your thumb, you can hold and unlock your phone one handed!
I've used a phone with a back center fingerprint scanner and this is more comfortable for me because I can reach it holding my phone normally and I don't have to bend my fingers weird
Loved this vid. I get my in the morning. CAN NOT WAIT!!!. Retiring the ole Note 5 that has NO expanded memory. However, I love my Note. Glad Samsung kept it in the line up.
Interesting stuff here! Never really thought about using iris but now I tried it, it's pretty cool and accurate even in a pitch dark room.. And the auto restart is great too!! Didn't even know it existed lmao
I just want to say that I love the finger print scanner and I stopped using the face unlock as well as the Iris scanner. You just need to give it a try and i think you will love it too! :)
I find it funny that most people complain about the placement of the fingerprint reader. Everyone I see you complains about it uses thier right hand to try to unlock it. Try using your left hand. It makes a huge difference. I use my left hand to open it and I hold my phone with my left hand.

Hmm. Some companies remove it. What carrier are you with. Also try the search in the settings area its found in the top corner and type the feature your looking for
EBPMAN Tech Reviews I can't access some of these either, like the optimization, find my mobile, and restart...good old vzw must have denied us those options :(
Hi, I actually found it, by coincidence, when you hit SETTINGS if you hit the three DOTS next to the magnifying glass, it will give you the option of viewing the settings on SIMPLIFIED LIST OR STANDARD LIST, change it to the opposite you are viewing and that is where you are going to find it, jiji I'll answer you cause this guy is not going to. THESE PEOPLE WANT YOU TO SUBSCRIBE BUT WHEN YOU ASK QUESTIONS THEY SEEM TO BE ON ETERNAL VACATION AND NEVER ANSWER. So there, hope that helps.
By the way, I have Verizon as well, those options are there, simply change the setting view from standard to SIMPLIFIED by hitting the three DOTS once you hit SETTINGS. 😊
Thank you for a great post. Just picked up my Verizon Note 8 this morning, unfortunately my settings is slightly different than yours. Some options aren't available.
*Easiest to use is the face unlock* let me tell you why. Placement of the finger print sensor is pretty fucked up esp worth medium/small hands try holding it in your left hand (I'm right handed but often end up holding my phone with the left one) it's impossible to comfortably unlock the phone. Iris unlock is great and much more secure than face unlock but the problem is that it's much less convenient. You need to swipe the screen and hold your phone up etc you have an option that makes it scan as soon as u turn the screen on but you can't see the *camera aim /eye/ mask* thing so you end up trying to guess how to hold the phone. Sometimes it works flawlessly often you're moving your hand and head left right opening your eyes wide trying to unlock the phone making it useless and better to just swipe and then use the scanner. Face unlock 95 of the time instantly unlocks the phone no matter the conditions. And often I will turn on my screen to see notifications and before I can even see them it unlocks the phone as soon as I look at the screen. But the downside is that it's not as secure. I also haven't tried it with glasses, hats etc
Under settings, I do not have "auto restart"! And for some reason, Samsung said that Verizon disabled "find my mobile". They don't know why Verizon would do this, but it is not even an option in my settings. I am going to go to the Playstore and install it.
Hey thank you so much for tips I learn alot I wanted to know is it worth getting screen protection and if so pls tell me witch one and will keep smooth feel?
there are couple of these features I don't have on my note 8 any ideas why? one is the auto restart feature and one is the option under device maint. to clear everything out and the find my phone feature
My iris scanner on my Note 8 is nowhere near that fast, maybe its just me but I always have to move and align my phone using the preview mask to get it to work. I only get unlocks that fast using face id. :(
Strange your settings are different then mine in missing half of the options in the video on my note. Not sure if it's because I have a more recent update or because I have verizon
Awesome video! Just wanted to mention, I have the Note 8 through Verizon. I wasn't able to locate the "Find My Mobile" in the security settings. Do you know of any alternative for locating my phone if lost? Thanks :)
I cannot find the optimize shortcut. When i go into DEVICE MAINTENANCE it only gives 4 options (battery, performance mode, storage and memory) there is no OPTIMIZE button and no way to place a shortcut on the home screen. Also, under the GENERAL MANAGEMENT tab, there is no AUTO RESTART option. Am I missing something?
Thx for the tips, i don't feel the need to use the iris scann right now.... But i have a hard time to find a decent Tempered Glass screen protector... Can someone help!!?
Just got mine this week. Its from Amazon & its renewed. Basically looks new & battery is also new. Imo just buy a battery case. Even if you have an old phone, those cases will keep you charged through the day.
When u unlocked ur phone i saw a pic of the apple logo, why? That's just wrong! And why do people complain about the fingerprint sensor? I think it's perfect where it is. Go liquid armor for screen protector. 🕵️♂️👀
Well...reading all of your comments and replies, Its obvious that "Verizon" has opted to not have the feature a lot of you were talking about and wanting...the "auto restart" feature. Bummer! I too am a Verizon victom...lol.
If the iris scanner is unlocking your phone when you are wearing lenses, glasses and while you are behind a camera, doesn't that mean its defeating its security purposes? I think it's not working lol
did anyone notice when he opened it with his eye it flashed the message " its not apple its samsung" and had the apple logo. happed when he did the menu with the hom, back, and multi butten.

Jeremy Hinds Fantastic! I am so jelly, I can't afford to buy it
What emulator is that? And where did you get the roms!!!??
Miguel Dominguez internet they're all over the web easy to find just search Google for the rom you want

hikingtrainer(: how u got it so soon?
Teezy Chancellor I ordered it a week ago via T-Mobile store.. and then by my surprise I saw via my tmobile app that it had shipped on Wed and that I was gonna gonna get it by Friday. 3 day ups delivery. I guess i was lucky at. Cause i never am ha
Teezy Chancellor I had mine come on the 5th. Some carries ship them early. Same day I went to the store and bought an Otterbox for it.
Mine arrived on the 5th as well. From Sprint.
Watching this on my commadore 64
Just got mine today and traded my iPhone 7 in, no regrets definitely love it.
Keison B if you are tired of it let me know
I don't know about the rest of you, but I prefer the placement of the fingerprint scanner. If you register your index finger rather than your thumb, you can hold and unlock your phone one handed!
Jason Firth better than the front. Not quite as good as back center. Definitely not a deal breaker, but something that could use improvement.
I've used a phone with a back center fingerprint scanner and this is more comfortable for me because I can reach it holding my phone normally and I don't have to bend my fingers weird
Thank you. I was looking for that iris unlock feature!! Now it unlocks as soon as the phone turns on!!! Yes!!!!
+Les it's a very cool feature and fast
Loved this vid. I get my in the morning. CAN NOT WAIT!!!. Retiring the ole Note 5 that has NO expanded memory. However, I love my Note. Glad Samsung kept it in the line up.
Mark Hoffman How are you liking it so far? I love mine! I upgraded from the Note Edge.
Mark Hoffman omg me to
Mark Hoffman I loved my Note 5 and recently upgraded it to the Note 8..that I absolutely love.
Interesting stuff here! Never really thought about using iris but now I tried it, it's pretty cool and accurate even in a pitch dark room.. And the auto restart is great too!! Didn't even know it existed lmao
The brightness lvl tip was a major help! Drove me nuts too!! Thanks
I can't wait for my dual SIM international version to come. Samsung Knights on deck!
Xassan Daxir me too! Ordered the pink one. Should be arriving in a week.
Really great video with lots of useful information. You will use your Note even more.
The most useful features video on UA-cam. You've got my vote Sir....
Great video, due to get mine on the 15th. The iris scan was unbelievable fast.
Following step by step with multi window on my Note 8~ brilliant guide! 😀
caryn shiro I just got my phone two days ago and boy oh boy so many features 💯 I still have not figured out how to do that bro
GREAT help.......... Thanks so much. I will get a lot more use of the phone with these tips
Definitely used some of these tips, thanks for the video
This is a very good video. Some very useful tips I have not seen elsewhere and most importantly, well explained.
I just want to say that I love the finger print scanner and I stopped using the face unlock as well as the Iris scanner. You just need to give it a try and i think you will love it too! :)

People don't like where the fingerprint scanner is? That's strange, i love where it is. It fits my hand perfectly
Werewolven....Totally!
Same here
Left handed people :(
@@PrabhablyAGoodUA-camr I'm right handed and I love it
Me too. A lot of fuss has been made about that. First world problem?
no one is talking about not finding some of those features, i can not see the general maintenance nor the find my phone feature, what is up with that?
Hmm. Some companies remove it. What carrier are you with. Also try the search in the settings area its found in the top corner and type the feature your looking for

You have a nice case! Mind sharing where did you bought it? Thanks!
What case are you using for your phone and do you have a screen protector?
Please tell where you got the case and screen protector.

Mad Monk I believe they just pushed an update for Samsung pay in the play store. Mine finally works.
My iris scanner on my Note 8 is nowhere near that fast, maybe its just me but I always have to move and align my phone using the preview mask to get it to work. I only get unlocks that fast using face id. :(

I should have gotten the deep sea blue colour and the Samsung made LED wallet cover. I regret my choices :(
Strange your settings are different then mine in missing half of the options in the video on my note. Not sure if it's because I have a more recent update or because I have verizon
It cause Verizon changes it
If I have an app that is hidden, how do I get it to be displayed on the app screen again. Thanks for the the tips.
What clock is that you are using
Beautiful widgets app
EBPMAN Tech Reviews your the best!!
Awesome video!
Just wanted to mention, I have the Note 8 through Verizon. I wasn't able to locate the "Find My Mobile" in the security settings. Do you know of any alternative for locating my phone if lost?
Thanks :)

What's that clear case?
What about betry timing note 8
Plz tel me about betry timeing?
Were do you get the case

What case is that?
When u unlocked ur phone i saw a pic of the apple logo, why? That's just wrong! And why do people complain about the fingerprint sensor? I think it's perfect where it is. Go liquid armor for screen protector. 🕵️♂️👀

Thanks for vid
What is the name of the case?
If the iris scanner is unlocking your phone when you are wearing lenses, glasses and while you are behind a camera, doesn't that mean its defeating its security purposes? I think it's not working lol
I unlock with contact and glasses. My kids and wife cant unlock it with their iris
did anyone notice when he opened it with his eye it flashed the message " its not apple its samsung" and had the apple logo. happed when he did the menu with the hom, back, and multi butten.
iris is not for me coz i have a glasses it doest push through. just passcode and touch
His carrier is AT&T some of his tips don't translate with Verizon
Iris unlock is really terrible on the Note 8 when you are wearing glasses. It does not work.
Re-register you iris I had issues too and it works fine on the second registration
I read that the Iris Scan is not more secure. Supposedly you can open it with a picture.
Verizon Authorized Retailer - Wireless Zone maybe the facial recognition but not the iris scanner
Anthony Batista neither can be defeated with a photo on the note 8... It's been proven many times already.
What if someone uses my picture to unlock using iris unlock?
Will it broke if wrongly fell off from me
No fastest other than fingerprint scanner is face recognition
