what's up guys lon here from Android authority and the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is now official and each and every year Samsung likes to add some new and interesting features to keep things exciting so let's take a look at the top 5 new features of the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 so aside from Catching Fire I think one of the biggest complaints about last year's Galaxy Note 7 was that it was basically an s7 edge with an S Pen whereas previous Galaxy Notes had features that truly differentiate itself from the Galaxy S line I think this year Samsung did a really great job of addressing some of those concerns by making the Galaxy Note 8 still feel like a brother to the Galaxy S but at the same time it's a completely different product that leads me into feature number one which is the dual cameras which is becoming extremely popular on flagship smartphones right now and Samsung's Galaxy Note 8 is the first Samsung smartphone to feature dual cameras and on paper it has the potential to be the best dual camera setup we've seen on a smartphone to date so what you have here is two 12 megapixel sensors with the main sensor being a wide-angle lens with Samsung's superfast dual pixel autofocus and F 1.7 aperture the secondary sensor on the other hand is a telephoto lens at F 2.4 and allows you to get up to 2 times optical zoom the real kicker here is both sensors feature optical image stabilization which is totally awesome and something we've never seen before on a dual camera smartphone the second sensor will also allow you to create a depth effect similar to what we've seen on other phones with dual cameras like the iPhone one plus five or z24 and you also have the ability to adjust the depth effect after the fact what I really love about this new dual camera setup is that you have the ability to dual capture so instead of switching between lenses to capture both a wide and telephoto shot you can simply capture both images simultaneously with a single press of the shutter button ultimately saving you a ton of time in the long run feature number two is the addition of 6 gigabytes of RAM which is also another first or Samsung ok time out for a second so as I'm editing this video I felt like this point needed a little bit of clarification technically Samsung has released smartphones with 6 gigs of RAM before but they've always been region exclusive that no 8 will be the first smartphone from with 16 bytes of RAM that's going to be available globally so it's going to be the standard model and everybody is going to be able to get their hands on it I just thought I'd make that clear just so there's no confusion on what it is that I said anyways back to the rest of the video and is another way that Samsung is differentiating the Galaxy Note line from the Galaxy S and six gigabytes of RAM isn't exactly new but it hasn't necessarily gone mainstream so it's really exciting to see on a more mainstream smartphone like the note especially for a phone that's supposed be a multimedia / productivity powerhouse and six gigabytes of RAM should definitely help it do that and I think a lot of people are going to be more happy that Samsung isn't just taking the guts from the Galaxy S and putting them into the note which is exactly what they did last year next up on the list is a new feature called app pairing and if you love split screen multitasking you'll definitely love app pairing a pairing basically lets you pair two apps together that can either be placed on the apps edge or on your home screen and this will open the two apps that you have pair together simultaneously in multi window view this will not only save you a ton of time but ultimately make your life easier especially if you have a particular of apps that you open in multi window quite frequently so for example you can do YouTube and Google Chrome Facebook and Twitter or any other combination of apps that you want the options are pretty limited and it's only going to make multi window that much more useful and easier to do coming in at number 4 is live messaging this is one of the newest features to the s-pen and it's going to make communicating with your friends and family a lot more fun it's essentially a Jif or gif maker and you can draw or write anything you want and when you send it to someone it'll animate the drawing or text and also add additional effects like sparkles there's a ton of possibilities here to really get creative and have fun with your friends family boyfriend or girlfriend and because it's just a Jif or gif you'll be able to send it to anyone without the need for any sort of specialized messaging app or service last but not least is the support for Bluetooth 5 and gigabit LTE we originally saw these features debut on the samsung galaxy s 8 so it's only fitting that they made their way over to the note 8 now if you're not familiar with bluetooth 5 make sure to check out our very own gary sims explained video where he goes very in-depth with bluetooth 5 but essentially what you're getting is longer range faster speeds and eight times the broadcast message capacity you give a LTE on the other hand is a bit more self-explanatory its LTE speeds with a maximum download speed of one gigabyte per second which is just crazy fast and obviously faster download speeds are always a good thing but this is going to open the doors for a bunch of new possibilities on your smartphone like 4k video streaming streaming content and VR higher quality video calling and faster access to cloud storage so that wraps up our top 5 list of new features on the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 personally having had some short hands-on time with Eno 8 I'm really looking forward to these features and using them on a daily basis but what
