The Galaxy Note 8 Fixes The S8’s Shiny Flaw

Samsung appears to have addressed the biggest concern of the curved ‘Infinity Displays’ found on the Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus in a tweak to the Galaxy Note 8 design. The leak shows a new screen for the Note 8, along with even smaller bezels. Click to see affordable android devices:

Ice universe, which previously nailed the Galaxy S8 design in February, has issued an update on the famous phablet. Tweeting new renders which it describes as “Galaxy Note8 v2.0”, it claims Samsung has altered the smartphone’s display to make the bezels even narrower.

The result is an alteration to the Infinity Display design seen in both the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus with their soft curved corners made notably sharper and edgier. If true (and Ice universe will point to its track record) then it would mean claimed press renders from SlashLeaks were made before the change.

Galaxy Note 8 Launch Dates

We’re just over a month away from the official reveal of  he Galaxy Note 8, and we have an official indication on the timing of that launch from Samsung. The South Korean company has invited the world’s press to an event in New York City at 11am on August 23rd. Not only that, but we have an indication when the Note 8 will go on sale.

Samsung Mobile’s DJ Koh, speaking at a meet and greet with local journalists in Taiwan has confirmed that the Note 8 will launch in late August and go on sale in two waves, starting in September.

…“The end of August” ties in nicely with the suggestions of a Samsung event on the 23rd of August in New York. That’s later than last year’s launch of the Note 7 (widely seen as Samsung going early) and gives the South Korean company a clear window of time before the expected launch of the new iPhones in, you guessed it, early September.
