Is this the Samsung Galaxy Note8?

Samsung’s newest Galaxy Note device may be revealed in a few weeks or months time, but case makers are now starting to develop specific protection for the smartphone.

As revealed with peripherals maker Olixar, the renders for the Samsung Galaxy Note8 wrapped in the company’s upcoming lineup of cases leaves nothing to be hidden. The device bears an infinity display similar to the S8 series, a dedicated button for its native Bixby AI, and dual cameras positioned horizontally at the back of the device. To provide a quick solution to what has been a universally-complained fingerprint scanner that scathes the rear camera glass, the heart rate sensor and the camera’s LED Flash are now located in between them.

This is further supported by renowned mobile leaker Evan Blass, as he confirms the placement of the rear modules.

It's horizontal.

They are separated by the flash/heart rate sensor.

High hopes are now on Samsung’s shoulders as the company works hard to not repeat the fiasco it encountered with the infamous Note7 last year, with news reports leading to an August or September launch for the Korean tech giant’s next Galaxy.

Talking about the banner ads at bottom screen, sa smartphone, mejo maliit yung CLOSE button kaya mejo mahirap pindutin sa phone. Its really a little annoying that I have to tap several times just to close the ad every yugatech page I open sa phone. My phone is only a 5incher screen.

Talking about S8, Ito na ata ang pinakamahal sa Note series. It’s close to 50k ang base model.

You can do the “pinch” to zoom in gesture in your smartphone.

Out of topic question. Would you when Smart would release the OTA Nougat update for the Galaxy S6?

Dear God, Yugatech–your banner ads at the bottom is blocking your own content, and they look really ugly on desktop browsers. You’ve got a lot of wasted blank space on the right sidebar, can’t you place the ads there instead?

There is a “Close” button if you want to take remove the ad.
