According to a report by Reuters, Samsung is planning to introduce a brand new Note series smartphone sometime in late August. It is rumoured that the Note 8 will have a similar design language as the Galaxy S8 and will be a little larger as the screen size would be around 6.2-inches.

According to previous leaks, the Galaxy Note 8 is expected to have a dual-camera setup similar to the iPhone 7 Plus and the OnePlus 5 and will also offer top of the line specs to compete with their counterparts.

The Galaxy S8 was touted for having a beautiful screen that stretches across the entire front. The “Infinity Display” is expected to make a return for the Note 8 and could come with a glass front and back. 

The Note series of smartphones are one of the most successful and important products for Samsung. Considering the Galaxy Note 7 smartphones were recalled or never launched (like in India) due to a faulty battery, one can expect the next smartphone in line to make up for the debacle.

Having said that, the South Korean company has brought back refurbished Note 7 models earlier this year in select countries. A recent leak by The Leaker, shows that a working Galaxy Note 8 unit looks identical to the Galaxy S8 from the front but has a vertical dual camera setup on the back.

The Leaker also reports that Samsung has "developed advanced pressure-sensitive technology for its OLED displays so we can expect something like [the iPhone's] Force Touch in [the] Galaxy Note 8."
