Is zooming in web pages and images different using Samsung internet?

When o pinch the screen the text/images doesn't large??
 
Few days in and still loving the phone.

My main use for phones is watching Amazon Prime and Netflix and oh my god what a picture you get with these. I am extremely impressed.

I am in the camp that feels battery life isn't great but as long as it gets me from wake up to bed I am not too bothered.

Android Auto is great as well that's a big positive.
 
Pre-order free gift. You had to submit a claim for your free gift. Anyhow it's just been approved. So hopefully it will be here within the next few weeks.

Was this done everywhere? I bought my Note 8 at a carrier store in the US. I didn't hear anything about gifts.

EDIT - scratch that, just saw you said pre-order, which wasn't me.
 
Does anyone know of any apps you can use to download videos from youtube?

I’m going on holiday next week and there are these nursery rhyme videos my son likes watching. I don’t think he’ll manage to sit through the plane journey without these videos.

Not apps, but from a pc if that's any use?

I have no clue

How do I find out if its set to that?

Honestly, I don't know if it will help but some websites don't let you pinch to zoom in Mobile so go up to the top right corner, click on the three dots, and request desktop site.

Is the screen of the Note 8 as delicate as the S8/S8+ line? I read of many stories online where screens just break quite easily. Is this true or are new Samsung as robust as iPhone? Thinking of switching over to android as iPhones have reached crazy prices.

Not sure about it being delicate. The whole phone is glass, just like the new iPhones. If you drop it on something hard its probably going to break. As for iPhones prices being crazy, the Note 8 is not exactly cheap. Its more expensive than all iPhones except the X.
