Results: Note FE vs Note 8 - here's which one you like more!

About a month or so ago, Samsung released the so-called Galaxy Note Fan Edition. A re-re-launched Galaxy Note 7, with the same hardware, design, and safe battery, only available in limited numbers and, apparently, only meant for Sammy's home market over at South Korea. Yeah, many were confused at Samsung's decision to launch any type of Note so close to the Note 8's release, but the fact that the launch was so limited makes the Note FE's existence look a little less baffling.

So, what are the differences? The Note FE has last year's Snapdragon 821 and 4 GB of RAM. But hey, it has a physical home button with a fingerprint scanner on the front. The Note 8 has the top-notch Snapdragon 835, 6 GB of RAM, the dual camera, and the new 18.5:9 aspect ratio... but also a rather hefty price tag and a weirdly placed fingerprint scanner.

We thought we'd ask you — if you were able to buy both, which one would you go for? Here's how that poll went:
