Samsung Galaxy Note 8 will be the next flagship phone from the South Korean smartphone giant. A new report claims that the device will be unveiled on August 23 at a special event in New York.

Besides the launch date, the report also says that the smartphone will be up for sale right after the launch in New York and other countries as well. Speculations are already rife about the features to be included in the Galaxy Note 8.

A report also says that Samsung is looking to release the Note 8 in August itself because of the slowly depleting sales of Galaxy S8 duo and the Apple iPhone 8 release factor is already worrying the South Korean giant. Another Investor report cites that the Apple iPhone 8 launch will be delayed due to various reasons- insufficient supply of OLED displays, where to embed the fingerprint sensor, etc. So, if that happens, the Galaxy Note 8 will rule the smartphone market, at least until the next-gen iPhone arrives.

In recent times, various images of the prototype units of Galaxy Note 8 have leaked online. Interestingly, Samsung has already finalised the design of the smartphone. Furthermore, the Galaxy Note 8 is said to include all the features which Samsung missed out to add in the Galaxy S8+.
