Samsung confirms Galaxy Note 8 to arrive next year

Seems like Samsung is not conceding defeat anytime soon. Even after facing flak from all over the planet for battery-related issues (read explosions) on the Note 7 series of smartphones, the South Korean giant has decided to continue with its 'Note' line up.



According to a post on the company's official website, Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge users would be eligible to receive up to 50% off on the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy Note 8, to be released next year. The offer will be available as a part of the 'Galaxy Upgrade Programme'. Further details on the Galaxy Note 8 or Galaxy S8 were however not mentioned. Also, the list of countries to which the programme is being extended is unclear as well.

 Although Samsung has not mentioned anything about the Note 8, rumoured key features on the latter include the next-gen super AMOLED display, fast charging, Qualcomm's Snapdragon 83x processor, 6GB RAM, and 4,000mAH battery.


As per market analysts and reports, in the light of the recent Galaxy Note 7 recall, Samsung which has been going strong in the premium phone market (Rs 30,000 and above) with an estimated share of 58% in the third quarter (July-September) this year, may see its numbers go down sharply in the October-December 2016 quarter. The period, considered one of the most critical periods for consumer companies, usually witnesses a surge in purchases due to the onset of the festive season.
