Samsung’s chart-topping Galaxy Note 8 was one of our favourite phones of 2017, rated five stars in our review. It has an extraordinary feature set and magnificent performance.
But the fun doesn’t end there, because Samsung also offers plenty of accessories to help you make the most of the Galaxy Note 8, including battery packs, wireless chargers and stylish yet practical cases.
The Note 8 was unveiled in August and became available to buy in September, with an amazing Infinity Display, the S Pen stylus, a dual-camera setup and a waterproof body. You can buy it now from Samsung here.

Samsung’s Clear View Standing Cover for the Galaxy Note 8 protects your phone in a stylish, made-to-measure case that also folds out and doubles as a stand for watching video content.
It lets you check notifications and take calls even without opening the cover itself thanks to the dedicated UX designed, and you can pick an exact colour match for your Note 8: Black, Deep Blue, Gold, Orchid Grey.
Samsung also offers an LED Standing Cover that too lets you check your notifications and the time without opening the cover.
You can create custom caller ID icons that will display through the LEDs on the case itself, and there’s a card pocket to help you keep everything in one neat, safe place.
A bit less techy but still super stylish, the Alcantara Cover is made with soft, suede-like material inside and out. It allows access to all ports, buttons and features and it’s scratch proof and stain-resistant.
The Alcantara Cover comes in four gorgeous colours: Black, Dark Grey, Khaki and Pink.
For a bit more durability but maintaining style and practicality at the same time, you might like the Protective Standing Cover. It offers a military-grade protective cover for the back and sides of the Galaxy Note 8.
There’s also a built-in kickstand for watching videos, and if you’re worried about the kickstand’s durability you’ll be pleased to hear that it will pop off if you apply too much pressure to prevent it from breaking. Handy!
The Note 8 is capable of charging wirelessly, but only if you have a compatible wireless charger. Samsung offers a convertible model, which you can adjust to be used as a pad or a stand while it charges the Note 8.
The pad position is ideal for charging on your nightstand overnight, but the stand is handy for when you want to continue using the phone as it charges for checking notifications or even watching video content. It’s available in Black or Beige, and offers Fast Charge.
Better yet, Samsung’s wireless charger supports QI, which means it can charge any QI compatible device, even if you don’t have the Note 8 yet.
If you plan on being away from power for more than a day, a battery pack may come in useful to give your Note 8 a boost. With a stylish, portable design, Samsung’s Battery Pack offers 5100mAh power, which should be enough to completely recharge your Note 8 and still have some juice left in it.
The battery pack itself charges quickly, and can charge your Note 8 quickly too. It’s available in white or blue and comes with a handy strap.
