That kinda confirms a Note 8

The report also mentions the Note 8 being released next August - but has Samsung announced that, or are they guessing a 12 month cycle?

Here's an article summarizing a Korean Samsung press release that only mentions "next year" for the Note 8 release:

I would imagine Samsung already have a pencil date for 2017 although as you say probably cyclical at this point. Samsung do not have to deploy manpower to support the N7 now so I imagine there's plenty of bodies around to get this one right. I just hope Samsung continue to push the envelope and don't produce us a pup like the Note 5 or do an Apple on us.

I am confident that Samsung will be sure to make the Note 8 "King of the Hill" when it comes out.

Also worth considering are the reports that Samsung has supposedly decided to release only one "flagship" each year to consider. If true then it will have to choose between the Galaxy S successor and a possible Note replacement for 2017.

If it has no S pen and the screen is below 5'7...it doesn't work. You can't go backwards.

TrueFangz · Oct 25, 2016

Off topic, but speaking of S-Pen, I kept the S-Pen from my second Note7 :rolleyes:

It doesn't work on my S7 Edge :mad:

I wanted to! And I tried it on my S7e too! No go so I let it go back! I formally apologized to my UPS man today as he grabbed my box. He just laughed and said no problem!

We're such desperate techies

TrueFangz · Oct 25, 2016

Just noticed your sig. "Note7 (briefly)" Sad, but funny as hell!

Not my favorite source, but I'll take what news I can get

Samsung needs help? Companies have been collaborating since the year dot. Pathetic journalism is....... pathetic.

mikedt · Dec 20, 2016

Perhaps Samsung needs some extra special help. After all they still haven't given a definite reason, and likely they still don't know why the Note7s burned. Even if it's just an exercise to try to restore customer confidence in their products.

FWIW I know a lot of people that would never fly with Malaysia Airlines, including me, because of something that happened and they don't know why, MH370.

MH370 - Lighting. Space station captured the strike & explosion.

What I'm really excited about are the 9nm transistors made from carbon nano tubes.. [emoji89] NanoTech!! Less heat, less energy consumption, faster speeds..
The best & baddest we had up to this point are 14nm.. Moore's law may even continue a bit longer. But seriously, imagine having another 40% battery to the beasts you already run.

The_Chief · Dec 20, 2016

I haven't heard of a 9nm process. Qualcomm and Samsung just announced the 10nm process for the Snapdragon 835. If we get transistors much smaller, even FinFETs, we'll be into molecular transistors and quantum computing. That's where things get really, really weird.

bcrichster · Dec 20, 2016

Yes.. I think it comes out to 10nm Cuz there's a 9nm nanotube with other layers inside and out.. So that makes sense to me, but still 10nm is nice considering how crazy things can get under 14nm

More rumblings about the death of the Note line, replaced by the S8 Plus:

http://www.inquisitr.com/3825277/sa...lease-or-not-to-release-that-is-the-question/

If Samsung kills off the Note and instead releases two Galaxy S devices - one with a larger screen and S-Pen - then who cares? "Note" is just a name. If the S8 Plus carries the same functionality, I'm all in. Plus, it would be released at the same time as the S8, which means we don't have to wait an extra 6 months!

The_Chief · Dec 26, 2016

The more I read about the Note 8, the more convinced I am that Samsung is playing the tech journalists for fools. Maybe it's the S8 Plus, due to be launched in April... maybe it's the Note 8, due to be launched in August. Either way, everyone is paying attention to Samsung, which is exactly what they want!

Such hyperbole so early on is pointless and merely serves as titillation and click bait anyway.

Duckster · Jan 12, 2017

Interestingly enough, I just got off the phone with Verizon, and I asked about the Note 8. I was directed to go look at the Samsung page and .....there are accessories already listed for the Note 8!!!! This could be a good thing, but I wish that Samsung would just say once and for all if there will be a Note 8 or not.

That's not a new product, it's an old one. It's a tablet. Samsung has problems with product naming overlap...

I knew Note 8 sounded familiar...
So what do you think jpj? Note 9 or Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus.

I don't care what they call it!

As long as it has the SPen, at least 6GB of RAM, at least 128GB of storage, microSD card slot (or better, UFS card slot), IP68 certification, a huge battery, USB Type-C, Android-N, SamsungPay NFC & MST, I'll be more than happy.

dontpanicbobby · Jan 12, 2017

So it won't be thinner than the Note 7?

Thin is IN! these days.

HAHA!!

Yeah, I don't get where they got this maniacal drive to make the devices thinner and thinner. That's not what to do if you want to make them resist being bent and broken in someone's pocket. And it's not what you do when you want to make room for a battery that will give you AT LEAST an entire, worry free day of heavy use.

That kinda confirms a Note 8
