Yes, it's time for our regular dose of Galaxy Note 8 rumors and today's report is actually quite an interesting one as it turns out. According to a leaked schematics published by SlashLeaks, the Note 8 will feature a two-speaker setup. Both speakers will be side-firing in landscape mode, with one placed on the top and the other at the bottom of the smartphone in portrait mode.

Interestingly enough, the schematics also shows the fingerprint scanner to be placed at the back just like a previous report had suggested. Thankfully, it looks like Samsung managed to put it near the middle, where our index fingers can reach easily and naturally. The dual camera setup can also be seen but at this point, it's more like reinforcement than news really. In fact, given that the Galaxy C10 will soon be launched with a dual-camera setup, it would be quite surprising if the next flagship handset from Samsung does not have it! Of course, it will in all probability be a better dual-camera module than the one which is going to be launched with the Galaxy C10. Check out the schematics and let us know if you think that this is the real deal or just another hoax.

We got over the Galaxy S8 fever about two months ago when Samsung finally made everything official and after a period of lull, the Galaxy Note 8 rumors are slowly starting to build up. In fact, we had seen the first renders of the Note 8 much earlier this year than we did in case of the Note 7 last year. To add to this alleged least of leaks, we have another picture today that seems to be showing the Galaxy Note 8 in the attractive Blue Coral color.

Given that the famous Blue Coral color debuted with the infamous Galaxy Note 7 last year, it would in fact be quite natural if the upcoming Note was launched in its blue avatar right off the bat. The only gripe about the render which you see here is the fact that the fingerprint scanner is clearly not on its back and that doesn't make sense. Maybe the render was imagined with an under-the-glass fingerprint scanner before the news about the technology's unavailability was leaked.

Samsung's first dual rear camera touting smartphone may not be the Galaxy Note 8 after all as more specs and renders regarding the upcoming Galaxy C10 shows us a dual camera module adorning the smartphone's back. In addition, even the pricing and certain specs of the C10 seems to have been released, courtesy of Asian websites, but brought to the English speaking audience via the courtesy of SamMobile.

The Galaxy C10 will reportedly sport a 6-inch Super AMOLED display, not unlike the Galaxy C9 Pro or the Galaxy A10. The resolution will be limited to Full HD as expected and there is no reason to believe that any design DNA from the S8 series' bezel-less display will be making their way onto the C10. Other specs include 6GB of RAM, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 660/Exynos 7872 SoC, 64GB/128GB internal storage and a 4,000mAh battery. Rumor has it that the C10 will also have the Bixby button. Buying the 64GB version of the smartphone in China will probably set you back by CNY 3,499 or $515.

It would be interesting to see how Samsung's first dual camera setup performs with its telephoto and wide-angle lens combination.

If anyone who has used the Galaxy S8 was asked to point out a single flaw in the S8's design, it would be the fingerprint scanner's placement. Of course the Bixby button could be up for argument as well, but it will more likely lose to that awkwardly placed sensor by far. If you have been following us, then you probably already know that the design choice in this regard wasn't really a "choice" for Samsung. After putting in the necessary money into developing a fingerprint scanning tech that could be placed below the glass, Samsung found that it wouldn't be ready before the beginning of the Galaxy S8's mass production process. They literally had no space left at this point to implement the fingerprint scanner, except where you see it right now.

Sadly enough, it seems that the Note 8 will not be able to sport the tech either as Samsung and even Apple is facing some serious issues with implementing the technology into their respective upcoming flagship smartphones. In the words of a Samsung representative (according to the report), "We made every effort to install a display-integrated fingerprint sensor on Galaxy Note 8, but we decided not to install it on this strategic phone due to various technical limitations such as security." Samsung will continue to work with CrucialTec and others in the field to develop and integrate the technology, but it doesn't seem like something which could happen before the Galaxy Note 8 is released.

A Samsung employee who is only known by his surname "Lee" at the moment, apparently was in a bad gambling debt which amounted to somewhere around $800,000! Just as any other logical person would handle a debt of that size, he decided to steal 8,474 Samsung mobile phones (which are worth a total of $711,000) from Samsung's head office in Suwon, Gyeonggi. If you have not caught on to my sarcasm yet, then let me affirm that it is indeed sarcasm and stealing from your employer or anyone else is definitely not the logical solution to any problem!

The disabled man had apparently started stealing test units meant for developers from way back in the December of 2014. In fact his operation was active till November last year; a timeframe in which he managed to steal an astounding 8,474 Samsung test units. Lee used to pawn these stolen smartphones via a used phone reseller and before long, these handsets, which were never even meant to be on sale, were being sold and used in Vietnam. As Samsung caught a whiff of the con job going on here, the matter was reported to the police. After months of investigation, Lee has finally been found and charged. Although he is clearly a reckless gambler and a thief of massive proportions, one cannot help but be amazed at the efficiency with he had run the con job for all these years without ever being caught once.
