14 DAY TRIAL // Initially rumored to launch on August 26 in New York City, Samsung's long-anticipated Galaxy Note 8 smartphone is now said to hit the streets a few days earlier, on August 23, according to a new report coming from The Investor.
A Samsung executive apparently told The Investor that the Galaxy Note 8 phablet will be unveiled later next month in New York City, US, but it did not confirm August 23, 2017, as the official release date. However, according to sources, Samsung wants to start the device's sale in early September, ahead of Apple's 2017 iPhone unveiling.
And now that Apple is reportedly having software trouble with the wireless charging and 3D sensor of the rumored iPhone 8 smartphone that the Cupertino company plans to unveil in late September, we have all the reasons to believe that its number one competitor will try to take advantage of this and push the sales of the Galaxy Note 8 mobile device a bit earlier.
The successor of the ill-fated Note 7 will feature an English version of Bixby
Sporting a larger than expected 6.3-inch display, Samsung's upcoming Galaxy Note 8 phablet, the successor of the ill-fated Galaxy Note 7 that was recalled by the South Korean electronics manufacturer because of exploding batteries, is expected to come with the long-anticipated English version of the Bixby intelligent interface, which is still in testing these days as Samsung doesn't have enough data.
Apart from Bixby artificial intelligence assistant, Samsung Galaxy Note 8 should come with a much better S-Pen stylus that now supports translation functions. However, Samsung also recently launched a refurbished version of last year's Galaxy Note 7, which the company dubbed as "Fan Edition," that has some improvements, and a new batter that apparently does not explode.
