A Lot of People Pre-Ordered the Galaxy Note 8

So, did you pre-order the Galaxy Note 8? The phone runs Android 7.1.1 with Samsung's custom UI on top and is powered by 3,300 mAh battery with QuckCharge 3.0 capabilities. The camera system also adheres a Live Focus feature for portrait shots in real time unlike the iPhone 7 Plus Portrait Mode.

Samsung seems to be fascinated with the dual camera concept so much so that the giant has launched yet another Dual Camera smartphone. The Galaxy Note 8 is officially set to be released in South Korea on September 21 but consumers who place an advanced order on the device will receive it by Friday, September 15, Samsung previously said.

The good part about the Galaxy Note 8 is that many components, including the common ones that typically receive the most wear and tear, are modular and can be replaced independently. The phone also features a rear dual camera and a 13-megapixel with a sensor, a f/1.7 aperture and a secondary 5-megapixel sensor with a f/1.9 aperture. The smartphone supports facial recognition as well as finger-sensor features.

Accessing them is still a challenge thanks to the fact that all repairs require removing the Note 8's back panel, which is attached to the rest of the phone by significant amounts of stubborn adhesive.

Samsung is happily reporting that US preorders of the Galaxy Note8 are better than ever. Just a year ago, the company said the Galaxy Note 7 was the most pre-ordered Galaxy device to date.

Samsung has silently launched a new smartphone Samsung Galaxy C8 in China. Samsung has also improved the S-Pen design and software. Of course this does not mean that the handset is easy to fix. "As a result, the Note 8 has successfully completed a rigorous series of device and battery safety compatibility test protocols".

Compare this to just a few years ago with the Galaxy S3 and you'll see how massive Samsung's growth has been.

Taking a razor blade to the iris scanner, front-facing camera, and earpiece on the device, it held up well.
