The anticipation for the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 has been building up, especially after the exploding battery fiasco of its predecessor. For news about the specs, release date and other rumors on the device, read on.

Typically, the Galaxy Note is launched in the third quarter of each year, especially in the past couple of years when Samsung preempted the release of the new iPhone. In this light, PCAdvisor thinks that the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 release date would be in August next year.

But then it could not be discounted that the release date next year would be earlier than the usual schedule considering the massive recall of the Note 7, which already cost Samsung north of a billion dollars in losses.

There are rumors about the release date for the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 being in February next year, simultaneous with the Samsung Galaxy S8 and the S8 Plus.

In order for Samsung to leave behind the scandal of the Note 7 and bring back its loyal clientele, rumors are going around that the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 needs to be very impressive.

Nevertheless, if all the news and rumors are to be believed, the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 specs would include:

- Qualcomm Snapdragon 830

- 4 GB of RAM or 6 GB of RAM for the high end model

- 4K SuperAMOLED screen display

- VR support

What's going to be absent for the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 specs would be the headphone jack as well as the home button, at least that's what the rumor say. Watch out for more news on the device, which will be published here when they come along.
