Samsung currently has three flagship offerings for its customers including the Samsung Galaxy S8, S8 Plus and the Note 8. For the people who are fans of those large displays with incredible performance, Samsung has come up with the S8 Plus and the Note 8. However, due to a larger S8 in the market people often tend to get confused between the Note 8 and the S8 Plus. Here are all the differences between the S8 Plus and the Note 8 which will help you make your decision.
Both the flagships come with Super AMOLED displays with a resolution of 1440 x 2960 pixels with 18.5:9 aspect ratio. The difference comes at the size which is only 0.1-inch as the Note 8 has a larger 6.3-inch display with 521ppi while the S8 Plus comes with a 6.2-inch display with 529ppi. Due to the 0.1-inch larger display, the Note 8 does look a bit wider and bigger than the S8 Plus.
S-Pen is the key feature of the Note series by Samsung where the stylus brings a whole lot of features to the smartphone. The S-Pen is something which not everyone likes, but if one gets used to it, it is a thing the person cannot leave. The S8 or S8 Plus buyers will never have the privilege to use an S-Pen with their smartphones.
The Galaxy Note 8 and the S8 Plus being the flagships of the company come with the high-end Exynos 8895 SoC or the Snapdragon 835 depending on the region you live. Both the processors are very capable and very powerful. However, comparing the base variants the major difference comes with RAM where S8 Plus comes with 4GB of RAM and the Note comes with 6GB of RAM. Both the devices will perform really great, but when it comes to multi-tasking, Note 8 will be able to do it slightly better than the S8 Plus.

However, the Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus also has a 6GB RAM variant which is still significantly cheaper than the Note 8. The 6GB variant of the S8 Plus comes with 128GB of onboard storage.
One of the major differences between the Galaxy Note 8 and the S8 Plus is the rear-facing camera where the Note 8 comes with a dual-camera setup while the S8 Plus sports a single sensor. The Note 8 features a 12-megapixel dual-camera setup with dual OIS. The S8 Plus comes with a 12-megapixel Dual pixel camera sensor with f/1.7 aperture. The Note 8 does have an edge here as the dual-camera setup helps in better images and it also comes with a Live Focus feature which might be liked by many.
Making a decision while buying a smartphone can be really difficult when the smartphone manufacturers have a huge portfolio. Here we have simplified your decision making by giving you all the differences between both the smartphones. So, the people who really want a dual-camera setup on their smartphone or want a stylus because they have been using it for a long time, the Note8 is made for them. However, people who do not care about having an S-Pen or a dual-camera setup can save some money and opt-in for the Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus.
However, people can save even more money if they can manage with a bit smaller display of 5.8-inch by buying the Samsung Galaxy S8.
