Samsung 8-inch Galaxy Note coming to MWC

Hmmm are you on the lookout for an 8-inch Samsung tablet with all the features of the Note series? Well, Samsung's mobile chief JK Shin has confirmed that the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is coming to MWC in February. Recently, there have been benchmark leaks for a mysterious Samsung GT-N5100 tablet. Considering the timing of this new tablet, the GT-N5100 could very well be the Galaxy Note 8. If true, then we do know that the Note 8 will feature a quad-core 1.6GHz Exynos processor and a 1,280 x 800 display.

The internet has been quietly discussing the possibility of an 8-inch Galaxy Note for a while now, but nothing appeared at CES.

However, it might've just been waiting for the right event to make its entrance, and iNews24 is reporting that JK Shin himself has confirmed the Galaxy Note 8 will debut at MWC. Seeming as the Korean news outfit also got word on the S III mini from Samsung's mobile chief before anything was official, we've got no reason to doubt this scoop. If this addition to the Note range is the mysterious GT-N5100 we saw benchmarked recently, it could be packing a 1.6GHz quad-core Exynos processor, and fit 1,280 x 800 pixels in that 8-inch display (the same res as the Galaxy Note 10.1). As JK Shin shared nothing but the screen size for now, we'll just have to wait until MWC to get all the finer details.
