After months of leaks and a year of explosion jokes, Samsung's Galaxy Note 8 is finally here and it's packing some serious hardware with dual cameras and new S Pen features.   It might even be Samsung's best phone yet, but it's got a lot of competition this time around. The iPhone 8 is around the corner, Google's Pixel 2 is expected after that, and the Essential Phone just launched with a screen that's to die for.   Can Samsung fend off attacks from three sides?     That's the question that'll be on many people's minds as they decide which phone to upgrade to. If you thought picking a new phone was hard last year, this year's even more difficult.   The Note 8 is a fine phone, loaded with all of the features you'd expect. Here's a list of all the major features that makes it so attractive: Beautiful glass and metal design 6.3-inch edge-to-edge screen Dual 12-megapixel cameras 64GB of storage with microSD card slot for expansion IP68 water and dust resistance Impro
