We recently heard about the Microsoft Edition Samsung Galaxy S8 and now a new Microsoft Edition Samsung Galaxy Note 8 smartphone has been launched.
The handset is available to buy from Microsoft’s online store, and it boasts the same impressive hardware specifications as the standard Note 8. This includes a 6.3-inch Quad HD+ Super AMOLED display, an Exynos 8895 or Snapdragon 835 processor (depending on the region), 6GB of RAM, and a dual-camera setup with a 12MP wide-angle and a 12MP telephoto lens.
Microsoft Software Integration
The Microsoft Edition Galaxy Note 8 comes preloaded with a range of Microsoft software, enhancing productivity and connectivity for users who rely on Microsoft’s ecosystem. This includes popular apps like Microsoft Office, OneDrive, Cortana, and Outlook. These applications are designed to provide a seamless experience for users who need to access their work documents, emails, and other essential tools on the go.
One of the standout features is the integration with Microsoft Launcher, which is available from the Google Play store. This launcher allows users to access their calendar, documents, and recent activities in a personalized feed. It also enables users to open photos, documents, and webpages on their Windows PC with a Microsoft account or work/school account, facilitating a smooth transition between their Android phone and Windows computer.

Additionally, the Note 8’s S Pen stylus is a powerful tool for note-taking and drawing. Combined with Microsoft’s OneNote app, users can jot down ideas, create to-do lists, and even sketch diagrams with ease. The S Pen’s precision and responsiveness make it an excellent companion for anyone who values handwritten notes and creative expression.
The handset is now available from Microsoft’s online store for $929.99. This price point reflects the premium nature of the device, which combines top-tier hardware with a suite of productivity-enhancing software.
