Samsung Galaxy Note 8 - Yes it's coming!

    So after the fiasco that was the eventually scrapped Note 7, and speculation that Samsung would kill the Note line entirely, it seems that there'll be a new one this year after all..
    Samsung has yet to comment on this latest report but dropped a big hint at a Galaxy Note comeback with the promise that that burned Note 7 users in Korea would be able to bag themselves a half-price Galaxy Note 8 this year.

    Another gossipy insider, this time from a partner company of Samsung's, has also revealed some details about the upcoming smartphone, saying that it'll be the first to offer a 4K-resolution display.

    So what do ye reckon? Will it sell or have people been burned (no pun intended!) too many times by problematic high-price brand models at this stage?

    Personally I fail to see the point of 4k on a 5.7" screen myself and if that's the big selling point I think I'll be skipping this one as well.

    I think Volkswagen will be one of the top selling manufacturers this coming year, if that helps answer the question...

    I hope this is true I love the note series and the Note 7 was a disaster. But they need to give it more its too in common to the s7 edge lineup I think.

    Looks like the Note 8 will be announced at Samsung unpacked event in New York on August 23rd. Seen some renders on sammobile. Looks like a stretched s8 with dual camera set up.

    Is the extra €50 over the S8+ worth it for the dual cam, S-Pen, and extra RAM? Definitely.

    S8 plus is €670 on Amazon Italy delivered and with Vodafone charging €999 my maths could be off but that's €329 of a difference not €50 Bas. https://www.amazon.it/gp/aw/d/B06XWWDLQP/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?smid=A1WGOYTTFOOKT2&psc=1

    I'm talking RRP, and that's what the difference is. I'm sure you'll be able to buy the Note for a cheaper price after it's released.
