Deal: Galaxy Note 8, eBay, $320, excellent condition, unlocked, unbelievable

A Galaxy Note 9 eBay store page. eBay

The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is available for $320 right now on eBay (h/t PhoneArena). The unlocked smartphone comes in Orchid Gray in “excellent condition” with free U.S. shipping.

The handset might have some minor signs of wear — this isn’t a completely new and unopened model — and it doesn’t include the original box. It probably hasn’t been used much (if at all) previously, though.

What might be more off-putting than the Note 8’s condition is its included accessories. It comes with a compatible stylus and charger, but the seller can’t guarantee these are Samsung-branded. That means you might not end up with a proper Samsung S Pen stylus, and it will cost you around $20-$25 to get one

Still, it may be worth the risk: this is the cheapest price we’ve ever seen on the Note 8 and it was regarded as one of the best phones ever released when it hit the scene in late 2017.

This Note 8 works with major carriers like Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile, but you can’t use it on Sprint. Oddly enough, the last great Note 8 deal we saw was a new Sprint-branded model for $360. Just a week later, you could now save yourself $40, if you’re okay with the aforementioned terms.

Check out the deal on eBay via the button below and don’t forget to tap Orchid Gray in the drop-down menu (the Midnight Black model costs $399). We don’t know how much stock is available or how long the deal will last.

Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Android Pie update now rolling out

Samsung has started rolling out One UI (Android Pie) for the Galaxy Note 9, as spotted by SamMobile. The update has been seen in Germany, though it may be being deployed in other territories right now too.

The update is rolling out with software version N960FXXU2CRLT and comes with the January 2018 security patches, and should include anticipated Android Pie features like Adaptive Brightness. Galaxy Note 9 owners running the beta software have just a 95MB download to install, but we don’t yet know the file size for general users.

The good news is, Samsung rolled out the Galaxy S9 Pie update to beta and non-beta users simultaneously, so it’s likely the same situation for the Note 9.

The Note 9 becomes the third Samsung smartphone to receive the upgrade, after the Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus on December 24. You can find out more about the software on the S9 in our hands-on look at it here.

If Samsung hasn’t notified you yet, you can try to push the OTA yourself by heading to the software update page in your phone’s settings menu. Let us know in the comments if you’ve received it and where you’re located.
