Apart from unique S Pen stylus bundle, Samsung Galaxy Note 8 comes with high quality display, camera and top-end processor. Samsung Galaxy Note 8 sports an 18:9 aspect ratio WQHD+ display with 2960 x 1440 pixels resolution and 522 ppi pixel density. It features a dual-camera set-up (12-megapixel + 12 megapixel) and delivers near-excellent results. For performance, it relies on Snapdragon 835 processor, Qualcomm's flagship chipset for 2017. Note 8 has two unique offerings - notch-free bezeless design and S Pen stylus. There are also a few Samsung-exclusive features like Samsung Pay which lets you make digital payments at stores with traditional Point of Sales (PoS) terminals.

(HT Photo) The popular OnePlus 6 doesn't have the notch-free design but makes it up with the capable Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor and up to 8GB of RAM. OnePlus 6 is available in India for a starting price of ₹34,999. Summing up, if you're looking for an affordable premium phone with high-end performance, OnePlus 6 remains our top recommendation.You may also consider Vivo Nex which delivers high quality camera and unique design without compromising on the performance. But the Vivo phone is about ₹10,000 more expensive than the base model of OnePlus 6. You may still go ahead with Note 8 if you want a premium phone that delivers excellent cameras, good battery life, top notch performance and a gorgeous display among other features such as Samsung Pay, IP68 water resistance, S Pen for taking notes, doodling and more.
