Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is creating a lot buzz in the tech town. The successor of the ill-fated Galaxy Note 7 has been subjected to various leaks in the past and a new render has surfaced online, which confirms that the smartphone will come loaded with a dual-camera setup.
The render has shared by a Twitter user known as Ice Universe, which shows the rear panel of the device in some kind of a protective case. The render further reveals horizontally aligned dual rear cameras and just adjacent to it is LED flash coupled with a heart rate monitor. The fingerprint scanner is also placed next to it. The placement is similar to what we have seen in the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+, which was criticised by many users and tech pundits.
Recollecting some previous rumours, the smartphone is reported to come in 64GB and 128GB of storage variants. According to a report, the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 will also come with an option expand storage up to 256GB via micro SD card slot.
The report further mentions that the smartphone could be priced at $1000 in the home country, which roughly translates to Rs 64,695. In other markets like the US and Europe, the Galaxy Note 8 will be priced at $1,100 (approx. Rs 71,165). If the pricing is believed to be true, then it will be Samsung’s most expensive smartphone ever.
Previously, some key specifications of the upcoming phablet were leaked online. According to a post on Weibo, the upcoming phablet will sport a 6.3-inch 2K+ Super AMOLED Display and it will maintain a similar aspect ratio of 18:5:9 as we have seen in the Samsung Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+.
The post further highlights that the smartphone will come loaded with the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 Processor and there will be a separate variant with company’s in-house Exynos 8895 chipset. Further, the phone will come loaded with a 6GB of RAM. It is reported to come in Black, Blue and Gold colour variants.
On the camera front, the phone will boast a dual-camera setup at the rear panel which will feature two 12-megapixel dual Pixel sensor coupled with optical image stabilisation. The phablet will be juiced up by a 3300mAh battery, the post further reveals. Lastly, it will come with an enhanced S Pen and will also support DeX.
