Samsung has no doubt rebounded from the Galaxy Note
7 debacle and is even almost set to relaunch the device with a new battery and
slightly reduced price in some markets. The recovery was helped a great deal by
the positive reviews and the successful outing of the Galaxy S8 and S8+ which
were launched in April. In line with precedence, the next big announcement
concerning a product launch from Samsung would likely be the Galaxy Note 8.
We have had some strings of rumours relating to the
Samsung Galaxy Note 8 in the recent past, almost all pointing at a 6.3-inch
display. A new leak from the Netherlands has emerged, also towing the line that
the Galaxy Note 8 would sport a 6.3-inch display but this leak went further to
claim that the Note 8’s display would be the same curved infinity display that
was used on the Galaxy S8 and S8+.
In other words, the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 would have
a curved edge display with a high screen-to-body ratio which would likely be
the same 18.5:9 aspect ratio featured on the Galaxy S8. The leak source also
claims the Galaxy S8 would have a 4K display resolution. We still don’t know if
the fingerprint sensor would be a front screen affair or it is going to be
embedded at the back. All other features are still obscured but taking a wild
guess, the Note 8 would most likely feature a Snapdragon 835 chipset. As for
its launch, that is still in the dark as well but it is alleged that the Note 8
is already being tested with Android 7.1.1 which means the device will launch
in no distant time. Who knows, Samsung may launch the device during IFA Berlin
2017 coming up this September.
