Samsung Galaxy Note 8, reports say will cost around $900 at launch *uhhh?!😒*, and will arrive in September.

VentureBeat is reporting that Samsung's next flagship tablet will be unveiled in the second half of September 2017, and will still retain its "Note" branding. The phone had been rumoured to be launched late August 2017, in a bid to beat Apple's unveiling of the iPhone 8, but that may no longer be the case.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 will sport a 6.3″ AMOLED display with the same edge-to-edge Infinity Display with an aspect ratio of 18.5:9 as seen on the Galaxy S8 lineup. The device will continue with
the Samsung Exynos 8895 and Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 SoCs depending on the market, But will be paired with 6GB of RAM this time.

A dual camera setup will be found on the back, comprising two 12MP sensors with independent OIS for the lens. The lenses are said to be arranged horizontally and will be placed to the left of the flash and Heart Rate sensor. The fingerprint sensor will be retained on the back of the device, but this time, it is moved to the right of the flash and heart rate sensor. This setup seems to sound weired but a render or leak of the device will provide a clearer picture.

Samsung will equip the Note 8 with a 3,300 mAh battery, compared to the 3,500 mAh battery on the Note 7

On the software side of things, the report mentions that Samsung has apparently improved the ease-of-use of split-screen multitasking. The S-Pen on the Note 8 will have more features like full sentence language translation and currency conversion. The Note 8 will also allow handwritten notes to be pinned to the Always-On display. The Note 8 will also be compatible with the same DeX dock that was launched with the Galaxy S8.

Now to the main gist. The Galaxy Note 8 will reportedly be priced at an estimated cost of €999 which will translate to approximately $900, making it the most expensive smartphone ever manufactured by the company.  The Note 8 will be available at launch in shades of black, blue and gold.
