Tech behemoth Samsung is all set to release its new flagship Galaxy Note 8 on 23rd August at an event in New York City. Samsung has even sent out invitations to media organizations, which features a bezel-less display outline with a slogan “Do bigger things” and an S pen image. Rumors and speculations regarding the price, specifications, and design of this new flagship have given us an idea of how this Samsung device will turn out.

Design and Display:
The most rumored aspect of Galaxy Note 8 is its bezel-less “Infinity” display, which makes the phone look cooler than its siblings. Samsung has also reportedly installed a dedicated button in the smartphone for accessing the built-in personal assistant “Bixby”. The phone is expected to feature a larger screen than its predecessor – almost 0.6 inches large. The company, according to previous leaks, has built the phone water-resistant with a pressure-sensitive screen.
Moreover, images of Note 8 have been leaked online, showing the design of Samsung’s upcoming flagship. As rumored previously the leaked images show that Galaxy Note 8 will be a squared shape smartphone, which makes it different from the Samsung Galaxy S8. Furthermore, the leaked images also show that it will feature a fingerprint sensor placed just beside the camera. Additionally, it will ship with an S Pen.
