Hear me out, i recently purchased a Note 8 and dropped an arm and a leg for it, $1050ish out the door of Best Buy, Fu*ck Me right? I came from a Note 4 and i have always loved the series of Samsungs Note's and will continue to be the biggest supporter. BUT....this thing feels good. A little TOO good.
Jesus i get that i spent $1000 on the phone but even holding it i feel like i should have it wrapped around 5 layers of bubble wrap just to make sure it doesnt fall or crack. Its not even about the money i spent on this its about the FEEL of it you know. It just feel like im holding a really expensive piece of metal in my hands, or some sort of future tech thats is onle ONE-OFF.
Dont get me wrong the phone is fantastic and if this thing last me at least 2 years i am going to consider it worth it (although the camera alone is worth it, this thing is a monster). But how much more quality built can something be? It doesnt feel like i can throw it around anymore or even hold it with one hand to text, i legitamitely feel like i have to hold it with two hands. Note (ha) that ive only had it for, hmmm, 3 days now?
So it might just be thats its "New" but i highly doubt that, i really do think that this is the best made phone on the planet by far and it trully feels like something built with really expesive material.
But is the point of a phone though? To have it be THIS high tier built? Being completely serious, the phone is great but it scares me a little to even hold it because of how it feels in my hands. Or maybe samsung just built it the wrong way and it doesnt give me confidence like my old Note 4 used to?
For example my Note 4, while i wasnt scared to drop it, i always felt like i could comfortable and more importantly confidently hold it in one hand, the Note 8 doesnt give me that....at all.
is this just me or have others felt the same way? What are your guys' thought on the matter? Are phones being built with TOO much quality in mind? Not the function, but the physical parts them. Let me know
