Just had an email from Samsung. I don't see how it can be anything but the Note 8 or whatever they decide to call it.

Really hoping this brings down the price of the S8.

Planning on buying one in a month or two

The Note 8 is going to be so far above the S8 in price it's not going to influence it, I don't think.

From Fanie's link above:

Galaxy Note 8 will be Samsung’s most expensive smartphone to date, carrying a price tag of around $1,000 for the base model in China and South Korea, and more than $1,100 in Australia, Europe, North America and South America.

Question @faniebraai are you getting a note 8

Thinking about it... Will see how it goes, waiting for features to be confirmed before I make up my mind.... also looking at the Mate 10 and Pixel 2 in October... will probably skip the V30 this year, purely because they took that second screen away, which was one of its strong points in my opinion.
 
debating whether or not i must buy a nokia 8 or note 8 so many pros and cons on both ends

If you're considering the Nokia 8 surely the Samsung equivalent to consider is the S8+?

Even on price, Nokia 8 is rumoured at $500, Note 8 at $1000.

Galaxy Note 8 dummy leaves nothing to the imagination

You’ve all seen countless leaked images of the Galaxy Note 8 so far. Some live images of the handset were also leaked online recently. We have a pretty good idea now of what Samsung’s new flagship is going to look like. Nevertheless, there has been yet another leak today.

It’s not a render or a live image of the actual device. Images of a Galaxy Note 8 dummy unit have been leaked online today. These are the units that you see in cellphone shop displays across the globe.

The Galaxy Note 8’s impressive 6.3-inch QHD+ Infinity Display takes center stage. The design itself makes the handset seems like a stretched version of the Galaxy S8. That’s not a bad thing. The Galaxy S8’s design has been a hit. No wonder it was the best-selling Android smartphone globally in Q2 2017.

It’s hard to miss the dedicated Bixby button that’s placed below the volume keys on the left side. There’s a power button on the right side. The Galaxy Note 8’s much rumored dual camera system can be seen as well, placed alongside the heart rate sensor and the fingerprint sensor.

The images of this leaked Galaxy Note 8 dummy aren’t going to surprise anyone. They merely reiterate what we’ve heard so far about the new flagship. Samsung is due to unveil the Galaxy Note 8 on August 23.

Leaked Galaxy Note 8 brochure confirms major details

Samsung is going to officially unveil the Galaxy Note 8 on August 23. We’ve already seen many leaked images and renders of this smartphone. There have also been countless reports detailing the specifications and features it’s likely going to have.

The leaks won’t stop until the handset is officially announced so it’s not surprising to see something new pop up. The folks at Ausdroid have received a leaked sales brochure for the Galaxy Note 8 which confirms some major details about the handset.

The leaked Galaxy Note 8 brochure confirms that the Galaxy Note 8 is going to feature a 6.3-inch QHD+ Infinity Display with S Pen support. It’s also going to feature an iris scanner and wireless charging. The Galaxy Note 8 will be IP68 dust and water resistant.

The Galaxy Note 8’s dual camera will have f/1.7 lenses with support for 2x optical zoom and Optical Image Stabilization. Since this is a Note device after all, it will be very easy to take notes, the Screen-off Memo feature will be onboard to jot down notes with the stylus even when the screen is off.

Samsung is going to offer it in Midnight Black and Maple Gold colors, as far as the Australian market is concerned. The new Deep Sea Blue color option may be limited to select markets. The brochure doesn’t reveal any pricing information for the Galaxy Note 8.

Wait a stretched version of the S8? That's just weird considering there is an S8 +. I would have liked to have seen the old wider design of the Note range , rather than stretching length wise like S8 and S8+

It is .1 of an inch bigger diagonally... so pretty much exactly the same size as the S8 plus...

Which is kind of strange to me. The Note was naturally the bigger of the Sammy flagships. Don't mind if it's close to the S8+ in size, just would have liked the older Note design, in terms of them going wider with the screen. But will see at launch how the actual device looks. I'm assuming the difference or deal breaker would be the S Pen, but Samsung could have made this a different sort of design.

If you want a wider device, use it in landscape mode :whistle:
