Latest News:  samsung galaxy note 8

The folks at DisplayMate have just finished reviewing the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 and their verdict is that it is "...the Best Performing Smartphone Display, earning DisplayMate’s highest ever A+ grade." According to them, the Galaxy Note 8 offers a 3K higher resolution display of 2960 x 1440 pixels which is certified by the UHD Alliance, allowing it to play the same 4K High Dynamic Range content produced for 4K UHD TVs. The Galaxy Note 8 is currently priced at RM3999 with pre-orders starting on 5 September 2017.

Hey TechNavers, as speculated, the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is gonna cost RM3999! Yeah, that is a big sum to take in (we feel your pain) and it's one of the most expensive Android phones to date in the smartphone market. But remember that we said customers who pre-order will get a special package? Initially, it was first leaked from our friendly Internet neighbour Mr Anonymous about the special package, it seems that the news is official now. 

While the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is all about the hype now, the Samsung DeX didn't get as much attention for good reasons since it was revealed months ago with the Galaxy S8 and S8+. But there is some good news to those who have the DeX, as Super Evil Megacorp, creators of Vainglory game app, will introduce full Samsung DeX support in update 2.8, allowing the game to be played with mouse and keyboard on Galaxy Note 8, Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ devices.

No doubt that the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is the hottest news this week, making a comeback with a bang, the phablet flagship has finally joined the trend of integrating dual rear cameras behind using two 12MP sensors with an aperture of f/1.7 and f/2.4. Each sensor also serves a different role as a wide-angle lens, then the telephoto lens as the secondary camera. But does it capture awesome pictures?

Bestbuy recently revealed the price for the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 without any carrier to be $929.99 (~RM3979) which makes it the highest priced Samsung Galaxy phone to date. On the other hand, according to the Verge, Samsung is offering former Galaxy Note 7 users up to $425 (~RM1818) to trade-in their current phones. No info as to which phones will let you reach this halfway point but none of them will likely offer the same S Pen goodness as the Galaxy Note 8.

Samsung has officially unveiled their Samsung Galaxy Note 8 flagship smartphone at their Samsung UNPACKED 2017 event. The new device includes a 6.3-inch Infinity Display, Iris Scanner, wireless charging, IP68 water and dust resistance and much more. Hey, don't you worry about the battery - it has gone through Samsung's 8 Point Battery safety check (the most rigorous in the industry).

The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 may cost from RM4000 to up to RM5000 based on unofficial price reports from Android Authority. Pre-order customers may receive attractive gifts alongside their Note 8 devices.

As the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 big unpack is coming in just the next few days, the usual early leaks have popped up, this time with a sales brochure from ausdroid. This apparently confirms that the Galaxy Note 8 will have a dual rear camera with one of them offering telephoto 2x optical zoom, OIS or Optical Image Stabilization and an f/1.7 aperture. Other tech specs like a 6.3-inch QHD+ resolution Infinity Display, S Pen, Iris Scanner, wireless charging and IP68 water and dust resistance are more or less to be expected after the Galaxy S8. The brochure also shows that you can still write on the Note 8 while it is on standby. No Malaysia release dates or pricing details yet, but we'll be there to check it out in New York on 23 August 2017 so stay tuned to TechNave.com. Register your interest with Samsung Mobile Malaysia for a quick heads-up. 

A new online leak that was spotted on Weibo has suggested that the highly anticipated Samsung Galaxy Note 8 will be coming in a total of 8 stunning colours. Other than that, the Note 8 was also spotted on GeekBench with 1984 for the single-core test and 6116 for the multi-core score.

We aren't sure if someone is in trouble for leaking the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 roadmap table below, but it's a win for us. Thanks to a kind South Korean-English website, we now know the timeline from the Unpacked 2017 event until the official sales launch date. Check it out below!
