While we love the prospect of a shiny new gadget, we also like to be
wooed by performance. A good smartphone should have the right balance of
aesthetics and functionality to add value to our hectic lives.
So how do the features of the new Galaxy Note 8 complement the
work-life balance of the bustling career person?
Here are five amazing features that we think will do the job.
Infinity Display
One of the highlights of the Galaxy Note 8 is the state-of-the-art
Super AMOLED display that envelopes the front and curves all the way to the
sides. In fact, research firm DisplayMate claims that the Galaxy Note 8 has the
best smartphone display screen yet and gave it an A+ rating.
The 6.3in screen is called the Infinity Display and it’s 20% larger
than the Galaxy S8’s and 14% bigger than the previous Galaxy Note’s display.
With such a large screen, you’ll never have to wait to reach home
before catching up on your favourite series and Korean dramas again.
Dual Messenger
The new Galaxy Note 8 lets you have more than one messaging account.
This feature is found under the Dual Messenger setting – in essence it clones
the app so you can sign into two different accounts and it even works with
Facebook.
This feature can come in particularly handy for those who have multiple
accounts to separate their business account from their personal one.
Dual Camera
Instead of just one rear-facing camera, the Galaxy Note 8 now features
two 12-megapixel cameras with two different focal length lenses, which lets you
pick between taking a wide-angle shot or an optically zoomed in shot.
The dual-camera setup also makes way for the new Live Focus feature,
which lets the user take images with a DSLR-like blurred background. The
magnitude of the blur can also be adjusted according to the user’s liking.
So if you’re dedicated to curating an Instagram feed with dazzling
visuals, the Note 8 will rise excellently to the occasion.
Screen Off Memo
Just like the other Note models, the Galaxy Note 8 comes with the
iconic S Pen which allows you doodle but the stylus isn’t just for artistic
expression.
The Screen Off Memo feature allows you to start taking notes without
having to unlock the smartphone. Just eject the stylus and you can start
writing on the screen immediately.
You can even pin the note to the lock screen so you have instant access
to it, and it’s just perfect for creating a shopping list or jotting down a
great idea.
Also packaged with the new improved S pen is additional Air Command
options such as Translate, Magnify, as well as Smart Select which lets you
easily choose sections of video to transform into GIFs.
App Pairing
App Pairing is a handy feature for multi-taskers. It allows you to pair
apps so that you can launch both apps with just one shortcut.
Launching the shortcut will open two apps
simultaneously, each occupying half of the screen so you can work with both apps
at the same time. Love indulging in some of your favorite YouTube videos while
working on your assignment? You can stream all the videos you want with
VideoOnz with countless content to keep you entertained while working
simultaneously on Word opened side by side which make life so much easier.
