The best Samsung Galaxy Note 8 deals pre-Black Friday 2017

The new Samsung Galaxy Note 8 certainly has a point to prove and it's now available buy. It's never going to be your go-to option if you're on a tight budget, but it's got the screen size and specification smarts to be a competitor to the much lauded iPhone X.

If you're among the number baying for a Note 8 deal, you've come to the right place. Deals are now available from all the major retailers and networks - check out our price comparison tool below for the best prices. Plus, we've picked out five of our favourite deals and tell you more about this mammoth mobile.

It might seem a tad unfair, but we can't not mention the Galaxy Note 7 debacle when talking about its successor. Samsung's 2016 aborted project due to overheating and fire risks means that we've had to wait two years for a (fingers crossed) fully functioning Note-branded phablet from the South Korean tech behemoth.

But we can now move forward from that chapter in tech history. But prices started high and haven't fallen much since. So if you're after a bargain, it might worth waiting for Black Friday 2017.

Should I get the Galaxy Note 8 SIM free?

You must be somebody after our own heart. Always looking to see how you can trim a few pounds off your new favourite gadget. As you probably know, you can now pick up cheap SIM only deals for as little as £4 a month, which could make it worth buying a SIM and handset separately.

Well the Galaxy Note 8's RRP is £869. Even if you get the cheapest SIM card (usually around £4 a month for 500MB data), that would still cost almost £1,000 over the two years. You're probably better cranking up the upfront cost in our price comparison chart above, imposing a low maximum for monthlies and finding a cheaper deal in the long run.

Wondering what all the fuss is about? Well the fervour for the Note 8 is probably doubled due to the fact that the Note 7 was pulled from shelves soon after release. But it doesn't take more than one look at the Note 8 to see that it justifies the hype.

The huge 6.3-inch ‘Infinity Display,’ is gorgeous to look at, the 6GB RAM innards go like a train and there are two best-in-class rear cameras. It's expensive, but we think the Note 8 is worth it.
