Samsung to announce Galaxy Note 8 on August 23: reportJuly 13, 2017 - 12:24 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Two Korean publications have given comparatively precise dates for the announcement of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Note 8. The Bell reports that the announcement date will be August 23, while another source, The Investor, says a Samsung executive would only confirm the month of August — not a concrete date, The Verge reports. Still, this is a lot of talk about August, so at this point, it might be safe to assume next month is the right timeline for the Galaxy Note 8, especially given that past Note devices have historically been announced late in the summer. Evan Blass at VentureBeat speculates that the new device will have the same 6.2-inch screen as the Galaxy S8 Plus, but will be differentiated by a dual-camera system, as well as its signature S Pen. The dual-camera system could be positioned horizontally, Blass says, and be comprised of two 12-megapixel sensors. The fingerprint sensor will also likely be next to the cameras, just like it is on the S8. Blass also reports that the phone will cost €999, or slightly over $900 in the US. It might be released in black, blue, and gold. Top stories Yerevan will host the 2024 edition of the World Congress On Information Technology (WCIT).
