But rather than wasting my time on a debate with someone who didn't have both phones, I'll leave it at this: a wise man told me don't argue with fools, cause people from a distance can't tell who's who. ✌🏽
What??? Someone who didn't have both phones??? I assure you, I owned BOTH the Note 7 and the Note 8. I daily drove the Note 7 for a few months until Samsung recalled it due to the possibility of the battery catching fire. Samsung apologized by giving us Note 7 buyers a great deal on the Note 8 when it was introduced. I daily drove the Note 8 for more than a year, and I can tell you first hand, from daily use, that the Note 8 was a "tall and skinny" phone compared to the Note 7 and all the other Note phones that came before it (though not egregiously so). In the coming years, Samsung would continue to get more extreme with the "tall and skinny" phones until we arrived where we are today (the flagship S26 Ultra, which has a screen aspect ratio of 19.5:9).
My phone buying history with Samsung goes all the way back to the original Galaxy Note, which I purchased in late 2011. From 2011 until today, I have bought and used nothing but S-Pen equipped Samsung flagship phones (the Note series, follwed by the Galaxy S Ultra series).
My final word on "tall and skinny" phones: I didn't invent the term "tall & skinny" to describe smartphones. The tech world invented it back in 2017-2018 to describe the phone manufacturer's shift toward taller and narrower phones. All I know is: I WANT MY SAMSUNG FLAGSHIP SLAB PHONE TO ONCE AGAIN HAVE A SCREEN ASPECT RATIO OF 16:9 OR 16:10!!!

You're confusing thinner with skinnier.

You're right; it seems the direction they are taking is to simply copy Apple's design in hopes that they will sell their premium devices just as well.
