Aside from the current iPhone 8 price which is a bit cheaper compared to the other, there are other differences that people should take note of such as the processor, screen display, storage and even other features. Here is a detailed comparison for between these devices:

Display 

One of the most important factor for those people who watches a lot of movies and series on their phone. We all want a bigger screen but size is not the only thing that matters when it comes to the display of a phone. The note 8 has a 5.7” x 2.8” curved screen which has a resolution of 2960 by 1440 while the iPhone 8 only has a 4.7" diagonal LCD IPS screen with a 1334 by 750 resolution. Samsung definitely wins the point in with its display, but you might want to know that the iPhone 8 is more color accurate than the Note 8.

Storage

We all know that the iPhone series does not support memory expansion by using an SD Card (Secure Digital Memory Card) unlike other smartphones nowadays. The iPhone 8 comes with 64GB and 256GB variant while the Samsung note 8 storage can be expanded up to 256GB with an SD card. While both of them have the same potential, it is still much more convenient for some users to be able to remove the memory and put it on another device.

Performance

When it comes to mobile devices, performance is now a huge factor when it comes to what a smart phone can do. This is because some people actually use their smart phones to get their job done. For instance, those who use work related applications like Adobe reader, Google Mail, Open Office, and other SaaS application (software as a service). The latest benchmark results that the iPhone 8 actually performs 35.4% faster when it comes to overall performance, thanks to its A11 bionic processor.

Features 

Although the 256GB variant of the iPhone 8 is still cheaper than the price of Samsung Note 8, there are features that are actually very handy for some users. For instance, there is a feature called App Pair in the note 8 where you can pair 2 applications to work side by side. This enables users to multitask efficiently compared to only being able to open one application in the screen at a time. This is definitely a huge plus for Samsung note 8 when it comes to features.

The difference between the two devices is really big when it comes to certain factors. It would mainly depend on what the user will be doing with the phone. Given that both devices are great, it may just be a matter of choosing the device that you will be more comfortable with.
