Samsung Galaxy Note 8

Aside from the Galaxy range, Samsung’s Note models provide a popular middle ground between phone and tablet . Released in 2017 , the 6.3-inch screen may not appear as large as it once was, but its stylus makes it a popular option for those who are working on the go.

The Note 8 is designed for working on the move, and with 6GB of RAM , it’s powerful enough to handle the vast majority of tasks. While there’s less focus on the camera, it still delivers good shots with a dual-lens setup on the rear and selfie camera on the front.

Its age and current Note releases have lowered the price of this mobile, and you can find it new in many places for around £275 .
