Whilst we continue to hold our breath for OnePlus 5, there are a couple of smartphones lined up to launch in the 2nd half of 2017 that gain our attention. Besides the evident choice of Google Pixel 2 lineup, Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is also being closely looked at after last year’s Note 7 disaster.
Although Samsung has apparently recoiled the Note 7 nightmare quite nicely with Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus, the actual test comes this year. Taking into consideration the fact that Galaxy Note 7 made its debut in August last fall at its own event in New York, the company is possibly returning to its roots a bit with its next flagship device.
Just like Samsung Galaxy S8 launch event, the company will be taking the stage at IFA 2017 to launch its new smartphone. Some trusted sources reveal that Samsung Galaxy Note 8 will launch at IFA 2017 along with other new goodies.
The Galaxy Note smartphones have usually been debuted at the IFA conference in Berlin which takes place in September, until last fall’s Note 7 bucked the trend. The reports state that Samsung Galaxy Note 8 may launch in mid-August.
However, rumors claim that the South Korean consumer electronics mogul is already running out of time on amalgamating an embedded fingerprint sensor and perhaps finish up relapsing to the rear placement found on the Galaxy S8 lineup.
It’s also been reported that Samsung has decided to ‘speed up the Galaxy Note 8 launch’ to get a leadership on the upcoming Apple iPhone 8 range. The smartphone maker will no doubt be looking for the ways to put a damper on the release of Apple’s 10th anniversary iPhone, however, if that means hurrying out another Galaxy Note phone, let’s hope the decision doesn’t explode in Samsung’s face.
Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is anticipated to feature a Qualcomm Snapdragon 836 processor, 6.3- to 6.4-inch curved display, and a dual-lens 13 MP rear-facing camera with AF. Either 6 GB or 8 GB of RAM is expected to pack into the new device. It will even feature a textured Bixby button.
Rumors about Samsung Galaxy Note 8 are flowing out at a snail’s pace for now, but the flood of image renders, leaks, and speculation will come as we get closer to August. So, hold on tight!
