Samsung Galaxy Note8 with Infinity Display and improved Bixby support launching on August 23

Samsung Mobile has started sending out media invites with the tagline 'Do bigger things' indicating the launch of Galaxy Note 8 smartphone. The smartphone is the successor to last year's ill-fated Galaxy Note 7.

Samsung will announce the Galaxy Note 8, its successor to the ill-fated Note7 smartphone on August 23. The South Korean smartphone maker has started sending out media invites for an event in New York where it will launch the Note 8. The invite comes with the tagline 'Do bigger things' and shows a smartphone with Samsung's Infinity Design and S-Pen stylus.

Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is rumoured to be the most expensive smartphone yet from the company. The handset will borrow the design element first seen on company's flagship Galaxy S8 series and pair it with Note specific features like an improved S Pen. The handset is rumoured to sport a 6.3-inch Quad HD+ Super AMOLED display with dual curved edges and taller 18.5:9 aspect ratio. The smartphone is expected to be powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 835 chipset and offer 6GB RAM as standard.

The Note 8's talking point is expected to be the new dual rear camera setup, first for any Samsung smartphone. The Note 8 could feature dual 12MP rear camera setup with one wide angle lens and another telephoto lens similar to Apple's iPhone 7 Plus. The handset is tipped to house a smaller 3300mAh battery and an improved Bixby voice assistant with support for English and Chinese language. The handset is also expected to offer new S Pen features including support for one tap translation support.

According to Korean media, Samsung is advancing the launch of the Note 8 in order to capitalise on supply constraints for Apple's OLED iPhone, expected to launch in September. Samsung has reportedly briefed its partners about the device and it is expected to hit retail stores at €999 (around Rs 72,000) price tag. The smartphone will become available in blue, black and gold colour variants in September and Samsung will be hoping not to repeat the mistake of poorly designing the battery on Note 7.

    Samsung is building a revolutionary ROLL-UP smartphone

    GETTY • US PATENT OFFICE Example of a flexible display, LEFT, and the illustrations filed with the Samsung patent, RIGHT Samsung has been awarded a US patent for a brand-new foldable, rollable display to use across its smartphone and tablet ranges. The South Korean technology firm recently used its flexible display technology in the award-winning Galaxy S6 Edge, which has a dual curved QHD screen. However this latest patent, which was published by the United States Patent and Trademark Office, shows the company has bolder ambitions for its curved displays.

    The Samsung Galaxy Note7 (S820) Review

    This year has been difficult for smartphones, which is a bit of a paradox when you consider just how much better things have gotten compared to last year. With Snapdragon 820, 650, 652, and 625 we've finally moved past the shadow of the Snapdragon 810, 808, and 617/615. While there were Android devices that shipped with the Exynos 7420, they were often paired with a modem that was not necessarily the most power efficient. Despite all of this, there seems to be a general disappointment with smartphones. People are increasingly finding it hard to justify phones like the HTC 10 or Galaxy S7 with competition from OnePlus, Xiaomi, and even Apple with their iPhone SE. In this context the Galaxy Note7 brings much of the flavor of the Galaxy S7 edge, but blends it with the S-Pen of the Note line and a few new features like the iris scanner. If you were paying attention to the industry with the launch of the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy Note5, it's very much more of the same rather than the m

    Why do Android fanboys hate admitting that Samsung copied Apple?

    It's impossible to cover the mobile market without diving into the good ol' "iOS vs. Android" debate from time to time. These are the two biggest mobile platforms on the planet, so they're constantly being compared. Likewise, Samsung and Apple are the world's top two smartphone vendors, so their phones are constantly pitted against each other as well. Of course, there's another reason Apple and Samsung are often mentioned in the same breath: after entering the market, Samsung quickly grew to become the top mobile device maker on the planet thanks in large part to Apple. First, Samsung did everything it possibly could to copy Apple's iPhone and iPad. Then, it spent billions upon billions of dollars belittling Apple products in TV, online, and print advertising. Samsung spent years positioning its own devices as the cool alternative to Apple's iPhone, and its efforts paid off big time. Even now, Samsung continues to copy Apple all the time acro
