Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Note 8 was reported to not be including every feature that was originally promised with the phone and now two new leaks have confirmed this. A Twitter post by the CEO of the case maker company Slickwraps, Jonathan Endicott showcased the Note 8 and revealed that Samsung was unable to include a fingerprint reader into the phone. Instead, they will be appealing to one of the phone’s biggest criticisms with the Note 8, the display and design of the phone, which according to fans has been looking more and more like the iPhone.
From what was seen in the Twitter post, Samsung has moved the rear mounted fingerprint reader and the rear camera further apart so users won’t smudge their cameras or block the lens when trying to open their phones via the fingerprint reader, Samsung has even included a reminder within the phone’s packaging saying that users should remember to clean their camera lens, something that according to Samsung was a frequent problem with the Samsung Galaxy S8 and the Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus. Moblie Fun, a company specializing in cellphone accessories, has also reported that they have 21 received new cases for the Galaxy Note 8 so far no images have been revealed but the cases range from leather cases to ones that work with features on the phone.
The Galaxy Note 8 comes in Orchid Grey, Deep Blue, Black Silver, and Gold the phone has also been mentioned to be more expensive than the Galaxy S8 and is stated to retail at a price as high as $1,100, $250 more than the current price for a 64GB Samsung Galaxy S8 with the highest GB for the Note 8 being a new 128GB. For those who are going to buy the Galaxy Note 8 a list of cases has been released and are available for pre-order on Mobile Fun’s UK and US sites. With this new and expensive phone fans have been waiting in anticipation for, Samsung hopes to beat out Apple’s upcoming iPhone 8 and aside from the price range on Galaxy Note 8 fans seem to believe that Samsung has a good chance of doing so.
