The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is expected to be the saving grace of the infamous Note 7. Aside from that, it is also anticipated to be another South Korean tech giant's flagship device that will be available to consumers this year. While the company has been silent about the details of this upcoming phablet, speculations about its possible specs and features have been flooding the Internet.
Aside from that, leaks about its render have been rife too.
Latest leaks
Just recently, a video appeared online claiming to belong to Samsung Galaxy Note 8. The footage confirms the previous speculation that the South Korean tech conglomerate is ditching the bezels for this another flagship device. It also corroborates with the recent talks about bigger display as compared to the Galaxy S8 and the S8 Plus. The video was posted on Twitter by mmddj_china who have a reputable record of phone leaks in the past. The footage shows the alleged front panel of the flagship device with a massive 6.3-inch display.
Basing on the post, it appears that the company will go all the way in its no bezel, all-screen campaign. This is also dubbed by other tech analysts as the Infinity Display. In other words, no physical buttons can be found in the front part of the device. Users would rather see the phablet's front face consumed by the entire display.
Other specs and features
The device according to several claims will feature a display bigger than the S8 Plus. The speculated 6.3-inch is indeed larger by 0.1-inch. There are also speculations that the device would have the Gear VR game changing feature and it follows that it will most likely have a 4K display, which is a departure from the Quad HD+ screens of the other two flagship devices, S8 and the S8 Plus.
There were also claims that the device will have a fingerprint scanner embedded in the phone's display. Most certainly, the South Korean tech giant would move its awkward fingerprint scanner and place it somewhere else than keeping it at the rear part.
Another feature that is heavily speculated is the Dual Camera Setup, which has been leaked too many times. This is the same feature that consumers were looking forward to before the S8 and the S8 Plus were released. Since the company was not able to incorporate it in the previous devices, analysts are expecting it would be contained in the upcoming device. This feature was also suggested by Ming-Chi Kuo, a reliable and accurate KGI Securities analyst.
All these are mere speculations that the company has yet to confirm or deny. We will give you more updates as soon as information about the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 become available.
