Samsung Galaxy Note 8 What we know so Far
Jan 10th 2017
The previous Galaxy Note 7 was a bit of a disappointment for many people. Customers lost trust and faith with Samsung, so the Note 8 has a lot to do to put things back on track for the Galaxy Note line.
There has been a lot of rumors and speculation surrounding the Note 8, and it does seem that Samsung are determined to make back their lost ground. One of the rumors is that the Note 8 will have a foldable, bendable or bezel less display. Samsung have reportedly filed a patent that would mean that this could be possible.
More recent rumor is that this would be a semi automatic feature, and that folding the device would provide a secondary display.
There are also concerns that the technical aspects might not be up to par. Sources have said the every component has to be in perfect position for everything to be impeccable.
Other sources have speculated that the Note 8 will actually exceed expectations. It could possibly have a much bigger storage, higher megapixel camera, higher resolution, better internal mechanics and an upgraded AI assistant.
