The Galaxy Note8, Samsung's third flagship phone of the year, features a bigger 6.3-inch Infinity Display so consumers can view more and scroll less. Its enhanced S Pen1 allows users to capture Screen off memos, create Live Message2 and multitask on the go. It also offers Samsung's best-ever smartphone camera and Samsung's first dual camera smartphone, with two 12MP rear cameras and the world's first smartphone with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) on both wide-angle and telephoto lenses.

With the general availability of the Galaxy Note8, Samsung now offers three flagship smartphones with edge-to-edge screens to meet the different needs of consumers. Today, people can choose between the Galaxy S8's immersive screen in a compact package, the bigger screen and longer battery life of the Galaxy S8+, or the Galaxy Note8's ability to capture, create and multitask. When it comes to choosing a new smartphone, consumers don't have to settle for less with Samsung's three innovative devices-each with expandable memory, fast wireless charging, headphone jack, IP68 water and dust resistance and world-class cameras.

"At Samsung, we're constantly innovating to deliver new smartphone experiences that inspire, empower and delight," said Tim Baxter, President and Chief Executive Officer at Samsung Electronics North America. "From the powerful dual camera to the versatile S Pen and the immersive big-screen, the Galaxy Note8 was designed for productivity and self-expression. With its addition to the Galaxy series, Samsung now offers three incredible smartphones that showcase the most advanced technology our industry has to offer."
