If we look at Samsung’s patterns of launch dates for smartphones, there can only be the Galaxy Note 8 yet to launch later this year. In a financial press release for the first quarter of the year, Samsung said that the company plans to “successfully” launch a new flagship phone, later this year.

“As for the year ahead, Samsung anticipates market demand in smartphones to slightly increase with solid replacement demand growth in the mid- to high-end segment.

However, competition is expected to intensify with newly launched smartphones in the market. The company will aim to improve performance YoY by maximising sales of the Galaxy S8 and S8+ and successfully launching a new flagship smartphone in the second half. In addition, the company will maintain profitability in the mid- to the low-end segment.” Samsung said in a Press Release.

Samsung did not specify that the Galaxy Note 8 in the press release, but we can already speculate that a new Galaxy Note is all set to launch in September this year. Since Samsung faced a hard time with the Note 7, it's no surprise that Samsung wants to “successfully” launch another flagship phone that might help people forget the Note 7 debacle.
