Design
The big screen that fits in your hand. Infinity Display.
- 6.3" screen
- 18.5:9 aspect ratio
- Wider view
The innovation of the Galaxy Note8's design makes possible the 6.3" Infinity Display. It's the biggest ever for a Galaxy Note—giving you more screen for a bigger view and more space to use the S Pen. And it still fits comfortably in your hand because the symmetric curves and 18.5:9 aspect come together for a narrow body.
*Infinity Display: a near bezel-less, full-frontal glass, edge-to-edge screen.
*Default resolution is Full HD+ and can be changed to Quad HD+ (WQHD+) in Settings.
*Screen measured diagonally as a full rectangle without accounting for the rounded corners.
Wider view
Cinematic experience
Even watching movies is simply more enjoyable with the Infinity Display's 18.5:9 aspect ratio. In landscape mode, the Galaxy Note8 offers a 14% wider viewing area that makes for a richer, more immersive experience that pulls you in wherever you are.
*14% wider viewing area compared to Galaxy Note5.
Perfect symmetry
Design that works
The Galaxy Note8 is designed for you to use with ease and simplicity. The beautiful curves and seamless body are engineered to offer you a comfortable grip and more space for you to write freely with the S Pen. The fingerprint scanner is virtually flush with the back, and the Home button is embedded underneath the Infinity Display to stay invisible until you need it. It's the beginning of a seamless experience.
The big screen for bigger things
Multi Window
Launch two apps with a single tap
The 18.5:9 aspect ratio was made for multitasking. Turn on Multi Window mode to have two apps open at the same time. And for those two apps that you use together, App Pairing presets let you open them simultaneously with a tap. Now it's simpler than ever to listen to music as you find your way or read reviews as you shop.

The S Pen. It's a natural.
Fine tip
Write with precision
When we need to take notes or when inspiration strikes, our first instinct is to look for a pen. That's why it made perfect sense for the Galaxy Note series to have the S Pen. The S Pen for the Galaxy Note8 has a 0.7 mm tip that's fine and precise like your favorite pen, so you can draw and write with accuracy. And if you need to undo, just press the button at the side to turn S Pen into an eraser.
4096 pressure levels
Control the flow
Create fine or broad strokes just as you would with a brush. The S Pen has 4096 levels of pressure to more accurately respond to the touch of the pen tip, giving you control whether you're note-taking or sketching.
