Despite the pressure laid on the shoulder of Samsung Galaxy Note 8, it seems like the South Korean tech firm is dressing the phablet as their biggest unveiling for 2017. Delaying the device's release date could also mean one thing: Samsung wants Galaxy Note 8 to be every consumers' dream smartphone for the holiday season.
Resilience is the word that could best describe Samsung as they picked themselves up from the dust after the devastation brought by Galaxy Note 7 last year. Launching Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus won't suffice how much they want to redeem the company's image; thus, Galaxy Note 8 suggests a better way bring back consumers' 100 percent trust.
In relation to that, Galaxy Note 8 could be Samsung's biggest unveiling for 2017. And although the phablet won't launch in four months or so, it is possible that the South Korean tech is targeting holiday season as the official released.
While waiting for Galaxy Note 8 to hit the store shelves, details about the upcoming device surface the internet. The curved display on the sides, thin bezels from top to bottom, four physical keys (power/lock, volume up, volume down and Bixby AI) are among the expected features based on the smartphone concept, Android Headlines reported.
Furthermore, Galaxy Note 8 concept also suggests a dual-camera setup at the back with LED flash and heart rate sensor as part of Samsung's S-Health app. The 6.2-inch monstrous smartphone also features the signature S-Pen stylus.
In addition, Galaxy Note 8 is also expected to support Samsung Gear VR because of the phablet's display that offers 4K resolution. Specs-wise, the device will run Android 7.0 Nougat out-of-the-box coupled with choices of 6GB and 8GB of RAM alongside 64GB and 128GB onboard storage, powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 or Exynos 8895 chipsets.
Since Samsung reportedly placed Galaxy Note 8 in a premium category, the phablet is expected to costs more than $1,000. However, the price seems to be worth since Samsung's top executive DJ Koh once claimed that Galaxy Note 8 will be "better, safer and very innovative", BGR reported.
