Galaxy Note 8 teased ahead of launch

Samsung has confirmed to launch its next flagship smartphone, the Galaxy Note 8, on August 23, this year. The phone will be launched at an event named ‘Unpacked’ in New York City.  

In a recent Twitter post, the company has teased the phone with a slogan: “Do bigger things”, reaffirming earlier reports which suggested the device would feature a bigger display in comparison to previously launched Galaxy smartphone models. Some reports had cited that Galaxy Note 8 screen will potentially be larger than even the Galaxy S8 Plus phone, which features a 6.2-inch display.

In the post, Samsung uses a stylus pen to tout the “bigger display” to be featured by the Galaxy Note 8.

The phone is also rumoured to sport a dual-camera set-up.

Despite all the teasing, the firm still hasn’t said anything on Galaxy Note 8’s release date. However, it is expected to hit shelves sometime around September, in the month when Apple is scheduled to launch the iPhone 8.

In terms of pricing, Galaxy Note 8 has been speculated to be Samsung’s most expensive smartphone till date, with a price tag of approximately Rs 72,000.
