Leaked picture of the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 leaks online; looks rather a lot like the Samsung Galaxy S8

The Samsung Galaxy S8 has been dominating the headlines ever since it launched. Not that this should come as a surprise to anyone; the device was hugely impressive, featuring a gorgeous new design and killer specs.

But now the Galaxy S8 launch is out the way, all eyes are focussed on what comes next: the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.

Last year’s Galaxy Note 7 was a bit of a disaster for Samsung, to say the very least. This year, though, Samsung will return with a brand new model and it will be something very special indeed – I mean, it kind of has to in order to make everybody forget about what happened in 2016.

Well, this image below could well be our first look at the Galaxy Note 8. It comes via SlashLeak and appears to show the new Galaxy Note 8, running Bixby alongside Samsung’s well known S-Pen.

The Galaxy Note 8 in this image shares more than a passing resemblance to the Galaxy S8. It has no Home key, an all-display front and what looks like an EDGE display on both sides.

The Galaxy Note 8 will apparently have a 6.32in curved AMOLED display, making it larger than the Galaxy S8 Plus. The phone has also been linked with 6GB of RAM and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 835, though it is 100% likely certain regions will get an Exynos-powered version.

As for when it will be available, late-Q3 seems like the earliest. This would put it up against Apple’s new fangled iPhone 8.

No word on pricing yet, though given the RRP of the Galaxy S8, you can expect to pay a pretty penny for this handset once it’s official.
