Samsung Galaxy Note 8, phone of possibly many colours

Well, Galaxy Note 8 just might be a much more colourful phone than we are used to. The above picture, leaked from an unknown source, displays Note 8 in eight different colour variants, from green to violet. Personally I’d rather have a yellow one, but to each their own. Front panels of these phones will still be black, though.What do you think? Would you like more colour variety for your Note 8? Or do you not care in ...
