Rumours point to the use of Samsung's Exynos 8895 chipset, but the handset is expected to launch with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 835 platform in the US. The Galaxy Note 8 has been teased by Samsung in an official video and is expected to feature 6GB RAM and 128GB Internal memory. As per rumours, the handset will be the first Samsung device to feature a dual camera system, with dual 12MP sensors supporting 2x optical zoom, along with optical image stabilisation. The Note 8 is expected to be backed by a smaller 3,300mAh battery and support an improved S Pen with new features like translation. Samsung has also confirmed that the launch of the Galaxy Note 8 will be livestreamed on Samsung.com.

As was confirmed by Google, the LG V30 will be a Daydream compatible device and LG has also confirmed that the V30 will have a 6-inch OLED display with an 18:9 aspect ratio, as well as a f/1.6 glass camera lens.

LG V30 will most probably sport a resolution of 1440 x 2560 pixels at a pixel density of 482 pixels per inch. The screen is expected to be protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5. The phone is tipped to be powered by a 2.45 GHz Octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor and might come in two variants: 4GB and 6GB RAM options, along with 64GB and 128GB internal storage, which can be expanded to 256GB via a microSD card.

The LG V30 is looking to stand apart from the crowd with a new f/1.6 aperture lens which is a first for any smartphone.

While most of the flagships are being launched in August, the iPhone 8 might be a bit late to the party as it is expected to launch in September followed by the much anticipated Google Pixel 2 in October.
