We know the specifications which the Galaxy Note 8 will be sporting this year, or at least most of it anyway. Nevertheless, until and unless we see it all officially on August 23, everything is still just rumors and leaks. Today's leak is brought to us by GFXBench after the Note 8 went on the website for a spin. Check them out in the screenshot above.

The 6GB of RAM, Exynos 8895 SoC, Mali-G71 GPU, 64GB internal storage, dual rear cameras, etc. sits in perfectly with what we had heard and seen so far. However, it was surprising to see that the Note 8 will be sporting a 6.4-inch Super AMOLED QHD+ display instead of the rumored 6.3-inch one. The difference is almost negligible, but it's worth noting nonetheless.

Rumor has it that a new version of the Gear Fit Pro (2) will also be revealed at the NYC exclusive event on the 23rd, but not much else is known about it, including the likely price of the fitness band. On the other hand, a lot of people are waiting impatiently to see how high Samsung prices the Galaxy Note 8, which is expected to be as high as $1200 or more.

Samsung has just released the first official teaser video for the Galaxy Note 8 and you can check it out above or directly at YouTube if you wish. It isn't the most revealing teaser we have ever seen from Samsung, but it's a good reminder that the first Note device after 2015, that you will (hopefully) be able to buy without worrying about it exploding on you is about to come into limelight in less than ten days from now. In case you didn't know already, Samsung will be unveiling the Note 8 at a Samsung exclusive even in NYC on August 23.

If you have been following us (which you most definitely should), then you already know what the Galaxy Note 8 will look like, if not, then take a look at some of the leaked live images here. The internals are no secret either with them being different from the Galaxy S8+ only in terms of the rear camera (the Note 8 will sport dual cameras), perhaps the RAM and of course, the famous S-Pen. What will be interesting to see at the event is the price at which Samsung decides to launch the Note 8 in the US. We have heard that it could cross the $1,200 mark in some countries like India! We will find out soon enough.

Samsung has a lot riding on the Galaxy Note 8 as it will be the company's first Note device to hit shelves across the globe after the Galaxy Note 7 disaster and everything that followed. It's true that the Note FE was previously released in small quantities in some very select regions, but that's just the rebranded Galaxy Note 7 with a smaller battery. As we are now less than two weeks from the Note 8's launch date on August 23, sources have revealed how Samsung will go about selling it.

The new Note will be unveiled on August 23rd at an exclusive Samsung event in New York. The pre-order windows will open a week after that on September 1st in South Korea and it will remain open till September 10. After that will come the day of the grand release, which is reportedly set on September 15th. However, it is unclear whether this date is exclusive to South Korea or some other regions as well. Whatever the case is, we are pretty sure that the Note 8 will be hitting the US in roughly the same time. After the overwhelming response which Samsung received after they opened up pre-orders for the Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus, all carriers in Korea are hopeful that the Note 8 will even surpass that.

Apple makes great smartphones but the thing is that they do not have too many features which Android smartphones don't already have. If anything, top tier smartphones from brands such as Samsung and LG actually have a lot more to offer than iPhones. Having said that, there are still a few things that Apple smartphones do better than any Android smartphone out there and Force Touch or 3D Touch is one of them. Android smartphones have been trying to implement pressure sensitive display technology for years now, but none of the attempts have so far been nearly as successful. The Galaxy Note 8 is rumored to change all that with impressive implementation of the technology.

Whether the rumor is true or not, what we do know for sure is that the pressure sensitive Home button on the Galaxy S8 and S8+ will most definitely be making its way onto the Note 8 as well. If the rumors are true however, we will see many more added functionalities from the Galaxy Note 8's pressure sensitive display than ever before. Then again, if you have ever used a recent iPhone, I doubt that such features will surprise you.

After months of speculations, rendered images and videos, we can finally get our first look at the much anticipated Samsung Galaxy Note 8, courtesy of SlashLeaks. As you can probably tell, the images you see here are not rendered or concept images; these are the real deal. We are not saying that this can't be just a prototype, but given the fact that we are a little more than just two weeks from the Note 8's official reveal date, it would be safe to bet that this is more or less what we are going to see at the event.

What was immediately noticeable to us is that the Note 8 doesn't look like a stretched out Galaxy S8, like many experts in the field had expected it to be. It's a lot squarer than the S8 or the S8+ with a bit more bezel than either of the two current flagships from Samsung. The dual camera setup can be seen here and also the S-Pen, which does look a bit more stout and that's a good thing, because it makes for a better grip. Do you like what you see? Let us know in the comments.
