It’s new phone season, and Samsung’s flagship Galaxy Note 8 is finally here — the company’s comeback from the literal meltdown leading to the recall and cancellation of the Galaxy Note 7. The main question: How is it different from that other big Samsung smartphone? Answer: It’s bigger — with a 6.3-inch curved “infinity” screen — and it has a stylus. Maybe too big. It’s expensive, starting at $929. See for yourself. Next month: Apple’s iPhone 8. [Chris Welch / The Verge]
