How do you check how much battery you have on an note 8?
yeah, if I pair my airpods with my iPad, it'll show the charge. just not on android. and in my experience, the light in the case being orange just means it's 99% or less battery and green ONLY means 100% (not sure if that's correct but that's what it seems like based on my observations). So it's not exactly helpful but I just plug them in a few times a week while I'm at my work desk.
I haven’t paired them with my note 8 yet. I might just wait for the second gen gear icon X and get those to use with my note.
Perhaps? I prefer the AirPods because they are truly wireless. I tried wired "sports" BT headphones before and that little cord that connected them drove me nuts, especially on a sweaty wet back of my neck during a workout. But, I'm quite happy with my AirPods and won't be looking for anything else for while. They work perfectly fine for my usage
Only thing puts me off is the fact that they are not really compatible with android....
Are they loud?
Think I'm going to use Spotify rather than transferring all my iTunes library
the Note 8 controls the volume of the Airpods, so they definitely get loud, louder than I'd ever be comfortable wearing them at. I typically listen to them at around 40%-50% volume.
There's a few other wireless BT headphones out there to check out. As other's have said, Samsung has a pair and Jaybird released some. But I think the AirPods are the cheapest truly wireless BT ear buds out there (that I know of).
Yet it needs 6gb v 3gb. Try it again in 3- 6 months when it bogs down.
It's weird that you'd use your time travel powers to see how the Note8 ages.
What like the S8 plus was suppose to bog down yet still runs like new....

So that means it will happen on every Samsung phone till the end of time?
Except the S8 and Plus that are about six months old. Those haven't slowed down so far.
Jeez, save your snark and bitterness for whatever you decide on buying. Not sure why you're so intent on discouraging people from admiring or buying anything other than an iPhone. It's all good man, you do you.
Yeah, never understood that idea. Be happy for Android improvements and snarky if the Note8 slows down in less than a year.
And then make your purchasing choice next year based on that information.
You posted the dig video, its already been posted in the other thread anyway, all good
Is it a dig at Apple or simply saying Samsung did a good job?
Apps reloading on my iPhone 6Sand 6S+ have always been a problem for me and I have to say, that is the biggest reason that I am skipping the iPhone again this year.
I can count on an app that I left open on my S8+ and Note 8 Sunday night, to still be open exactly where I left it here at just past midnight on a Tuesday. There are times I do this when I am following replies that go on for days. I can't do that on any iPhone I've had to date and it seems as though I still wouldn't be able to count on that on the iPhone 8. The same applies to my S7 Edge and that phone is 1.5 years old now.
I would love to buy another iPhone because the battery on my 6S+ has days when it will use up all the battery in less then a day and other times, will be at 60% after 18% so I would like to replace it.
I know I've made a good decision when I buy any Samsung phone.

I'm sure both are quite fast and in 2017 we're really splitting hairs here. Unless there are gobs of people having bad lagging issues with a game/app, IMO the speed thing is getting old in terms of concerns. That's like saying a 450hp car is slower than a 550hp car. Both are fast, who cares......
I was just coming to post this
the Note8 obliterated that iPhone 8 Plus This phone is truly incredible
Even in the speed test did you see how the Note8 managed to sometimes beat the 8 Plus or be close to it!? This thing is a beast!
Goes to show Benchmarks don't mean a thing!
Updates are being rolled out FYI. I'm on AT&T and just downloaded a 220 mb update. Still 7.1.1 but update claims performance improvements. Bixby also updated.
Also, an often forgotten trick is to enable developer options and speed up your animations. This helps the phone feel a little snappier.

I wonder if it's AT&T only. I don't have it in Verizon yet.Downloading right now. Att here.
