Samsung's newest Galaxy Note 8 has remained relatively low key. Unlike the latest Galaxy S8, it hasn't been getting much news, and the Korean tech company has been silent about it.
But this doesn't mean that the Korean tech company doesn't have something magnificent under its sleeves. After the Note 7 fiasco, Samsung has been hard at work with both the Note 8 and the S8. They are ensuring that their batteries are secure and their phones are safe.
Samsung Galaxy S8. The Samsung Galaxy S8 is expected to come out before the Galaxy Note 8. The Korean tech company has already announced that the new smartphone will not launch at the Mobile World Congress. However, several sources have confirmed that the company will instead give the launch date of the new Galaxy S8 at the MWC.
Note 8. Gadgets 360 reported that Samsung's next Galaxy Note phablet has an internal codename of "Baikal." This will likely be the new Note 8. However, considering what happened to the Note 7, some have even wondered if Samsung would phase out their Note phablets. However, BGR confirmed that indeed, the Galaxy Note 8 is still set to launch for later this year.
The site further reported that an official from Samsung Electronics has confirmed that the Korean tech company will introduce a 2K resolution display for the new Galaxy S8. However, the new Note 8 will have a 4K resolution display. In addition, it is expected to have improved VR functions that can even connect with the new Gear VR wearable.
Safety. In a recent report by CNET, the site revealed that Samsung will be using Sony batteries for this year's flagship phone. The Japanese company will provide lithium-ion batteries for the Galaxy S8.
However, the Korean tech company still plans to get batteries from its previous manufacturers, Samsung SDI Co. and Amperex. With this new leak, it is possible that the Note 8 could also use Sony batteries. Hopefully, with the Japanese company's track record for producing high-quality components, the Note 8 will not have any battery problems.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is expected to release sometime this year, after the S8. Do you think it will still be a big hit in the smartphone market? Share your thoughts and comments below.
