There is little else to this news, unless you want me to quote Samsung’s corporate blabber about three horse races, demand growth, innovation and whatnot. Usually Samsung does not release any official information on their devices until shortly before their release. Why this time is different is hard to say.

A number of people have already created concept renders of the Galaxy Note 8. These ones, by Concept Creator, look particulary good. Since it introduces every leak and hint on the Note 8 available, it is probably almost exacly how the real deal will look like. Speaking of leaks and hints, here are some of the more interesting ones:

– stylus pen,
– 4K AMOLED display to be implemented, mostly for the improved VR experience,
– EDGE display,
– dual camera lens system,
– 6.32′ curved screen.
