Samsung Galaxy Note 8 release date, specs, news: new phone coming Feb. 2017; to feature 4K support?

Samsung did not officially announce an upcoming Samsung Galaxy Note 8 just yet, but as always, anticipating fans of the tech giant are trying to piece together what the tech company could possibly come up with for its next big reveal.

Samsung has recently been under fire because of its literally exploding Samsung Note 7s that had been reported many times. It is definitely bad press for the company, but with the incoming new year ahead, it is also time for Samsung to redeem itself by making sure that the Note 8 would not disappoint.

Most experts speculate that Samsung will reveal its new handheld device s — the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 and Samsung Galaxy S8 as early as Feb. 2017, or as late as the mid-part of 2017.

Considering that the Samsung's Note 8 and Galaxy S8 are to be unveiled next year, speculations suggest that it could be powered by the fastest processor, the Snapdragon 830, or whatever higher version that would come out this year. Some also speculate that it might be powered by Exynos.

Most of all, experts also speculate that the new line of Samsung phones might already come with 4K display support. This is a huge possibility considering that YouTube also announced that it can now host 4K-quality videos. This means that users of Samsung Galaxy S8 and Note 8 might enjoy YouTube's 4K videos upon release.

The Note 8 is also rumored to improve on its stylus and add more camera features and gestures.

Fans could only hope that Samsung had learned a lot from the Samsung Note 7's recall this year. Many users are already experiencing battery-related issues with the Samsung brand, but it wasn't until this year when many reports of exploding Note 7 devices are out in the open — one even during a plane flight.
