The Samsung Galaxy Note 8... The bigger Galaxy S8???

-

Samsung has finally unveiled the Galaxy Note8, revealing the (rather heavily-leaked) device at its Unpacked event in New York City today.

The Note8 sports a 6.3" Quad HD+ Super AMOLED display at an aspect ratio of 18.5:9. Branded as an Infinity Display like those on the S8 and S8+, the Note8's screen has incredibly tiny bezels all around, giving it a striking and modern look. But the similarities don't end there. The Note8 has the same processor (Snapdragon 835), same storage (64GB in the US), same IP68 rating, wireless charging, and same ports (USB-C, 3.5mm) as the S8. It runs basically the same TouchWiz software, albeit updated to Android 7.1.1.

Pre-orders start on the 24th and the US will be getting only two of the four total colors (at least, to start) - Orchid Grey and Black. In the US, the Note8 will be on all four major carriers, as well as available unlocked direct from Samsung and select retailers. Retail availability in the US starts on September 15th.

 The Note8 is something of a chance for Samsung to make things up to fans of the Note series, after the Note7 was forced off shelves because of defective batteries that led to the smartphone catching fire.
