Just a few more week from the official launch, the official images of the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 have been released online courtesy of Evan Blass. The new leaks suggest the Note 8 will have a slight design improvement over the more curved design of the Galaxy S8 aside from the S-Pen in tow.
According to the leaks, the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 will feature the first ever Dual Cameras setup of the company while it catches with other brands like the Apple iPhone 7 Plus and the OnePlus 5. The edge screen feature is also present but it is now less prominent compared to the Galaxy S8.

On the other hand, the Galaxy Note 8 keeps the Iris Scanner on the front and surprisingly the rear-mounted fingerprint sensor.
There is now official price or even the official hardware specs inside, but expect that the Note 8 will be powered by the latest Exynos 9 series or Snapdragon 836 processor with up to 6GB RAM option.
