Samsung Galaxy Note 8

Samung Galaxy Note 8

It's looking less and less likely that the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 will ship with Android O. Plus, a Samsung official has reportedly said the Note 8 won't have an in-screen fingerprint scanner. And the release date seems to be set for August to beat the iPhone 7S.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is the biggest comeback story in phones following all of the disastrous Galaxy Note 7 battery failures last autumn.

And now that our Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus reviews are up, we're focused on what next's for Samsung's S Pen-equipped smartphone and its launch date.

It's fascinating: The Note 7 will go down in smartphone history for all the wrong reasons, yet when it wasn't causing property damage or injuries, it was among the best phones you could buy. That honor was short-lived.

Where does Samsung go from here? We now have a better idea of the Galaxy Note 8 features thanks to the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus launch. They look and feel like Note phones (read: really big) without that all-important S Pen.

Samsung will build on top of its new all-screen technology, and the Note series will continue to be Samsung's high-end, at times experimental smartphone.

Ready for the future? It's time to dive into all of the promising Note 8 rumors, as new leaks begin to emerge ahead of a possible August release date.
