Deciding if you should upgrade from your Samsung Galaxy S8 or Galaxy S8+ to the newly announced Galaxy Note 8? Maybe this easy-to-follow table will help you with that decision.

Below, you’ll find the Galaxy S8 specs vs. that of the Galaxy Note 8. You’ll notice for one thing, that they really aren’t that different. In fact, outside of the upgrade in RAM, dual camera, storage options, and S Pen, you’ve got nearly similar phones, especially when compared to the S8+. And that’s probably because we’ve come so far in phone tech that it’s hard to massively upgrade in only a few months, but it also shows how good the S8 and S8+ already were.

Either way, we’ve got you covered below in our Galaxy S8 vs. Galaxy Note 8 comparison.
