Aside the price of the mobile, Overall, which one is better? note 8 or mate 10 pro

note 8..but u will take a hit in battery life due to small battery capacity compared to mate 10 pro..

if u use the spen, get the note 8. else get the mate 10

I read an article on testing battery life by looping HD video with 50% brightness and with wifi on. Note 8 last 15hours++. if for normal use, wont it be longer battery life?

no matter how much optimization u put in...still cant beat having physical large battery capacity..

a year or 2 down the road u will start seeing battery life degrading...so having a large battery capacity is still the best..

but for everything else..note 8 got it covered..except for tht fingerprint sensor..nowhr near lightning fast as mate 10..

hmm.. i never use spen before.. maybe can do some research on it then decide.

No matter how big battery you put in , bad optimization will suck your battery in no time . Bad software will burn battery in 1 year so having good software us still the best

which mean it depend on how user use the phone?

It would be better you get a friend who uses the S Pen often to show you. Because I have come across people who have the S Pen but never use it. May be they don't know what to do with it.

But for those who actually uses the S Pen, it's a must have. Consult these friends.
