Samsung Galaxy Note 8

One of the most anticipated smartphones of the year, the Galaxy Note 8 could pose a very real and tangible threat to the iPhone 8 if Samsung manages to fire on all cylinders. Though the company is yet to confirm that Galaxy Note 8 will have a dual camera, several leaks and rumors have started reporting that dual camera setup is on the cards. However, we now have the Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus, and the Galaxy Note 8, which is expected to be fantastic, is on the horizon. This means that while the Olixar cases show a Note 8 that looks decidedly different from the alleged marketing materials that leaked earlier this week, many are betting Olixar is right.

Last year's Galaxy Note 7 only features 64GB of memory but it seems Samsung will launch a Note 8 with 128GB of storage.

Many were hoping Samsung would launch the phablet with an in-display fingerprint sensor, after the company was forced to add a rear-mounted scanner to the the Galaxy S8 - a feature which many found fiddly and inconvenient. Let us know in the comments.

The Note 7 FE carries the model number SM-N935 and comes with an Exynos 8 chip, plus an octa-core CPU. If the image is indeed true, the Galaxy Note 8 could face no criticism for the location of this feature, something that should help in boosting the phone's sales following the Note 7 debacle. To recall, the Samsung Galaxy C7 offers a 5.7-inch display with full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels) Super AMOLED display. The smartphone may pack a 3300mAh battery, and will come with support for S Pen and DeX. Meanwhile, Ming-Chi Kuo, an analyst at KGI Securities has revealed that Note 8 will sport a 12-megapixel wide-angle CIS (CMOS image sensors) which will be coupled with dual photodiode and enable users to capture better low-light shots. One sensor captures RGB colours, while the other captures monochrome. After enough uses, it tends to slide out on its own so, hopefully, Samsung has found a fix for this. Ultimately, this could result in an awkwardly placed fingerprint sensor on the back of the phone, once again.
