Galaxy Note 8 will retail for 999 euro
Reports indicate that the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is going to cost a whopping 999 euro. It seems year after year prices keep going upwards, in the end people simply keep buying such expensive smartphones in significant volumes. The Note 8 would be released in September.
The info from Evan Blass from Venturebeats / EVreports are considered to be trustworty and he is mostly spot on the information.The ohione would geta screen similar to the Galaxy S8 sets, with an aspect ratio of 18,5:9 with a 6.3" screen diagonal (AMOLED).
The S8’s curved edges fit perfectly in hands of all sizes, and the premium metal and glass construction seal the deal. The new Note 8 would get a a dual camera (zoom/wide)and the typical S Pen. The Note 8 would get a Snapdragon 835-soc from Qualcomm, that or a nExynos 8895 tied towards 6GB RAM. Thus this would be the second device after the C9 Pro be that has more than 4GB main memory. Note8 will be powered by a relatively conservative 3300mAh battery, a sign that the company is loath to repeat the debacle of last year’s Note7 recalls and eventual cancellation. The dual camera would have two sensors twelve megapixels and feature stabilization.
The €999 retail price should translate to a little over $900, given that the €799 Galaxy S8 and €899 S8+ initially sold unlocked for about $725 and $825, respectively. The briefed individual claimed that the Note 8 will be available at launch in shades of black, blue, and gold.

So glad the smartphone mania never got to me...my PC hardware expenses are enough as it is.
You know what though, I can only congratulate Apple/Samsung for mastering the art of milking the idiots. I know several people who buy these yearly, some from both companies and they are all actual idiots with too much money for their own good...

I'm not sure how much euro the Note 7 was when it launched, but here in NZ it was $1599nzd which translates to 1040 Euro, so the fact the Note 8 is looking like its going to be 999 Euro comes to no surprise for me. Same price the Note 7 was basically lol.
Was the Note 7 cheaper in Europe?

Say's the one with a 1080 Ti, a 5820k and a 1000w PSU; more than probably 99% of average computer users.
It's the top of the line flagship phone, with everything including the kitchen sink thrown in. You get this because you want the best at any price.
No idea why so many people are throwing hate here, if you want a "normal" priced phone then go for the A series of phones from Samsung, or a previous generation S6 or S7. This is the halo product, of course it will be priced high; same thing as cars. No one seems to complain about the fact that a Lexus 600 costs a ton more than a Corolla....
Can't afford it, don't buy it. If the phone is not good, don't buy it.

I was sure someone would point that out, sigh. Other than my 1080TI, my rig is almost 3 years old, and will likely hold me another 2 years at least. Besides, I actually USE the rig that I have more or less to its full benefits, whereas most people buying this sort of phone YEARLY or TWICE A YEAR don't. It's a status object, nothing more.
