Samsung Galaxy Note 8

Will Samsung Note 8 supersede the troubled Note 7 smartphone from 2016?



LATEST NEWS    :    Samsung is set to unveil its flagship galaxy Note 8 today at a splashy media event in New York. The device is expected to be launched online on August 23 at 8:30 p.m. While the South Korean tech giant's fans are excited about the latest launch, the memory of explosive Note 7 is etched deep. Will Samsung Notebook 8 supersede the troubled Note 7 smartphone from 2016 and win buyers over again?

Here's what buyers must look out for if rumours are to be believed:

Battery


Samsung is being naturally cautious in the battery department after Note 7 disaster. So we'll see just a 3,300mAh battery inside. It will fast-charge wired or wirelessly, with the former operating over USB-C. Another significant battery-related problem would be disastrous for the company and the responsible executives.

Safety checklist

Samsung has is believed to have enhanced safety checklist by using in-house '8-point battery test'.

'Bixby' voice assistant

Samsung 'Note 8' may have a separate physical button for its 'Bixby' voice assistant, much like Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus flagship devices.

Digital pen

The device may also come with a digital pen called the "S Pen" that may have a speaker within it, doubling it as a voice recorder.
