Samsung shows render Galaxy Note 8

Well correction, what likely seems to be the Galaxy Note 8. Samsung has been showing and teasing the render in a tweet about Exynos 9 SoC, which also is in use for the Galaxy S8 en Galaxy S8+ zit. The render however certainly isn't one of these. 

The render shows a smartphone with thin rounded edges. Word on the street is that Samsung will announce the new Note late August. The phone would get a screen similar to the Galaxy S8 sets, with an aspect ratio of 18,5:9 with a 2960x1440 pixels 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 6GB RAM. Thus this would be the second device after the C9 Pro be that has more than 4GB main memory. Note 8 will be powered by a relatively conservative 3300mAh battery. 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.

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 Late August / September.
