Here at SamMobile, we have been impressed by the battery life on the Galaxy Note 8. Both the single SIM and dual SIM models have endurance that's on par with the Galaxy S8+ despite a smaller battery capacity, even managing to last longer at times. Whether this is down to increased optimization on the software front or something else is unclear, but we can safely say that the Note 8's battery life isn't the issue we had expected it to be when the phone was announced.
