Samsung's Galaxy Note 8 hits store shelves Sept. 15 — at a whopping starting price of $930, though carrier plans may soften the blow. The premium phone is Samsung's latest after its predecessor, the Note 7, was pulled from shelves after a rash of battery fires. So the Note 8 faces not only high expectations but also a lot of scrutiny. Here's what I've learned from a little over a week with the phone.

Let's get this out of the way first: There were no fires or explosions. In fact, I never even registered a moment when the Note 8 was running hot.
