Fast, bright, and intuitive (at least when switching from an earlier Note)
The phone came in generic packaging, but was well packed and completely protected. It looks completely new. Included with it were instructions for initial setup, a charger (Sharkk model HYP-14-1000), and a cable. I upgraded to the Note 8 because I loved the Note 4, but wanted something a little more budget-friendly than the bleeding-edge Note 10. I've had it just a day, and so far I love it!
As the phone is unlocked and carrier agnostic, it has none of the bloatware you would find on a carrier's product. I had to bring it to my carrier's store because the SIM card was not the same size as the one in my Note 4 and couldn't simply be transferred. In order to keep it lean and streamlined, I did not permit them to backup/restore my old phone to the new one, but they did handle the setup and put it on their network.
I've installed virtually all of the applications I had on my old phone, and they all work great. I've had it powered on for almost 24 hours, and the battery is only down to 65%. The S-Pen feels more sensitive. I use it in Autodesk Sketch Pad, and feel better able to utilize the pressure sensitivity to change the brush strokes.
I honestly don't know what I am missing from the later iterations of the Note, but I'm loving the 8. Because the model is a few years old, be prepared to go through a few iterations of security-patch updates as you get started. I'm hoping to continue enjoying this phone for a long time.
