On Thursday, just a day after sharing the Note 8’s full specs sheet, VentureBeat’s Evan Blass tweeted out a banner featuring the phablet, the new S-Pen and the “Do bigger things” tagline.
Samsung’s upcoming flagship phablet needs to be more than just a big Galaxy S8 with a stylus. Unsurprisingly, Note 8 is an upsized version of the Galaxy S8+ with an even larger display and slightly squared-off corners.

The dual-camera feature seems to be the big Galaxy Note 8 feature. This is the first time we are going to see a dual-camera setup in the Samsung phone, and that too in a flagship phone. This is one area where Apple, with its iPhone 7 Plus, OnePlus 5 and LG V30.
The Note 8 will be competing with upcoming smartphones like Apple’s iPhone 8, LG V30, Google Pixel 2. Officially the launch date are announced on, August 23, while it could hit stores starting on September 15. US, UK and Australia are very likely to be in the first wave instead of having to wait until October.
As per the pricing, in Europe, the Galaxy Note 8 will cost 1,000 euros which roughly translates to Rs 75,408. Considering the fact that the Galaxy S8+ already sells for an upwards of Rs 60,000 the Galaxy Note 8 touching the Rs 70,000 price point won’t be surprising.
