Galaxy Note 8 Version Information
Once Samsung officially announces the new Note 8, potential buyers will want to know when they can get one. Especially all the Note 7 refugees who had to return the last Note. For all the information you will need, click here.
Countless leaks and rumors suggest a September 15 release date. However, other leakers believe that a date closer to September 6-9 is when Samsung will release it. Either way, pre-orders should start within a week of the announcement so you can reserve your very own Galaxy Note 8.
So what are we waiting for? Samsung's Note 8 is expected to come with a larger 6.3-inch Quad-HD Infinity display with curved edges. The Galaxy S8 gives us a good idea of what they have in store for us. It will be a little bigger, have two cameras on the back and of course the S-Pen stylus. It will likely be Samsung's fastest, largest and most powerful flagship smartphone released to date.
Since the design is relatively similar to the Galaxy S8, most of the changes will come from improvements in the camera, software, and S-Pen. Leaks suggest a new vibration motor for an improved stylus experience, in addition to a built-in "Find my S-Pen" app. It will likely be Samsung's fastest, largest and most powerful flagship smartphone released to date.
