Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear.   I’m Fred Fishkin.     Like every other fall season in recent memory…there’s a great harvest of new smartphones.   I’ve been spending some time with Samsung’s latest flagship…the Note 8….and have found a great deal to like.   Manufacturers are asking a lot of us….or at least a lot of our wallets….with prices approaching a thousand dollars…for the latest phones.   What I really like about what the Note 8 delivers…is that big, 6.3 inch quad HD plus AMOLED display….a fast, wireless charging  battery…that lasts through the day…and a camera that delivers rich, true to life photos…with HDR.    Product Marketing Manager Greg Bartholomew says it also features Live Focus…

“So you can get that professional type of bokeh effect.”

And being a Note, it has Samsung S Pen…a feature that really sets it apart from competitors …and is more fun and useful than ever.  You can find us at Techstination.com.   I’m Fred Fishkin.
