Samsung Galaxy Note 8 with Infinity Display and Dual camera
Samsung Galaxy Note8 comes with a starting price of $930 and will hit stores in mid-September.
Samsung pulled wraps off the much awaited galaxy Note8 in NEW YORK on August 23.
The 2016-series Galaxy Note7 was a top-notch feature-rich device, but the battery fire fiasco undid all the Samsung's hard work. Now, its successor Galaxy Note8 is all set to reinvigorate the company's flagship phone sales in the market.
The new Galaxy Note8 is completely different both in terms of design and the internal hardware compared to the Note7, but it has borrowed the design elements of the current marquee Galaxy S8 series phones. It boasts the Infinity Display on the front and visually appealing shell with good mix of metal and glass cover on top.
The key improvement is the additional camera on the rear and thankfully, Samsung has made thoughtful adjustments between the camera and the fingerprint placements.
The company has incorporated LED flash and other sensors in between them, so, there will be a small gap between fingerprint scanner and the camera, and to an extent, might avoid unintentional touching of the camera lens while trying to use the fingerprint sensor to unlock the phone.
Samsung Galaxy Note8 comes with new S Pen with improved pressure sensitivity and more features. One notable aspect is the Screen off memo, that allows the user to take up to one-hundred pages of notes as soon as they remove the S Pen, pin notes to the Always On Display (AOD) and make edits directly from the AOD, as well.
Samsung's new Galaxy Note8 comes with a starting price of $930(€788/Rs.59,557) in the US and will be available for pre-order starting August 24 in the US and select markets and the shipments will commence in September reach the customers' doors in mid-September. It is expected to hit stores on September 15 with four colour options -- Midnight Black, Orchid Gray, Maple Gold and Deepsea Blue.
As of now, there is no word on when the Galaxy Note8 will come to India, but it is expected to happen around September-end or before the Diwali festival in October. Stay tuned.
