Contrary to what some tech pundits predicted about Samsung's Galaxy Note range, the South Korean company is not planning to do away with the ill-fated brand despite taking a huge $5 billion hit --- thanks to the exploding Note 7 smartphones. Instead, the rumor mill started to generate stories about an impending Note 7 successor that will act as a saving grace for the fading Galaxy Note lineup.

Despite the lack of official announcement, the rumor mill has not ceased churning out speculations around Samsung Galaxy Note 8 and its sibling's, the Galaxy S8, release date, specs, and other features.

Now, some tech experts are already hazarding guesses in terms of what Samsung has in store for its huge Galaxy Note fan base. There's also hearsay that the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 will boast an array of jaw-dropping features and much to the relief of budget buyers, the device is expected to be reasonably priced as well.

In addition, those who are looking to get their hands on the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 are speculating what specs and safety features the upcoming phone will come with to ensure that it will not meet the same fate as its predecessor.

Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Price

The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 will be up for grabs for less than $800, if the latest rumors proved to be true. Multiple sources also confirm that the Note 8 will bear a comparatively lower price than the Galaxy S8.

Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Specs & Features

The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is rumored to sport a foldable design with its display panel facing outward, according to CheatSheet.

The device will sport the same large screen as its precursor, Trusted Review suggests. The publication claims that the smartphone will feature a 5.7-inch screen coupled with an awe-inspiring display resolution as well. There's also word that the entry-level of the Note 8 will come with a full 2K support and the high-end model, on the other hand, will be able to support a 4K resolution.

Readers are advised to take these rumors with a grain of salt until Samsung either confirms or debunks them.
