We are expecting to see two new Samsung Galaxy S8 smartphones early next year, and now it looks like Samsung is also working on the new Samsung Galaxy Note 8.
According to Evan Blass, the Samsung Galaxy S8 handsets will come with the model numbers SMN-G950 and SM-G955, while the new Galaxy Note 8 will come with the model number SM-N950.
Samsung Galaxy S8 models are indeed skipping SM-G94* model numbers, will ship as SM-G950 & SM-G955. Know what else is in the works? SM-N950.

Details on the Samsung Galaxy S8
We heard yesterday that the Galaxy S8 would come in two screen sizes, one with a 5.7-inch display and the other with a 6.2-inch display. This move is likely to compensate for the Galaxy Note 7, which was recalled due to battery issues. The larger screen sizes are expected to appeal to users who prefer the larger display of the Note series but are wary of the issues that plagued the Note 7.
The Galaxy S8 is also rumored to feature a bezel-less design, similar to the edge displays seen in previous models, but with even more screen real estate. Additionally, there are speculations about the inclusion of a dual-lens camera system, improved processing power with the latest Snapdragon or Exynos processors, and enhanced AI capabilities through Samsung’s new virtual assistant, Bixby.
Samsung will announce these two new smartphones at Mobile World Congress 2017 in February. This event is one of the largest and most anticipated in the mobile industry, making it the perfect stage for Samsung to showcase its latest innovations. However, we are not expecting to see the Galaxy Note 8 at this event.
Anticipation for the Galaxy Note 8
We will have to wait until later in the year to see the new Galaxy Note 8. Although if Samsung is working on the device at the moment, they may want to launch it earlier than normal to regain consumer trust and market share lost due to the Note 7 recall. The Note series has always been known for its productivity features, including the S Pen stylus, which offers unique functionalities that set it apart from other smartphones.
The Galaxy Note 8 is expected to build on this legacy with even more advanced features. Rumors suggest that it could include a 4K display, which would be a first for Samsung’s smartphone lineup, providing an incredibly sharp and immersive viewing experience. Additionally, there are talks of an improved S Pen with new capabilities, such as enhanced pressure sensitivity and additional software features to boost productivity.
Security is also likely to be a major focus for the Galaxy Note 8. Following the issues with the Note 7, Samsung will be keen to ensure that the Note 8 is one of the safest smartphones on the market. This could include advanced biometric security features, such as an improved iris scanner and facial recognition technology.
In conclusion, while the Galaxy S8 is set to make a big splash at Mobile World Congress 2017, the anticipation for the Galaxy Note 8 continues to build. With its expected advanced features and focus on productivity, the Note 8 could be the device that helps Samsung regain its footing in the competitive smartphone market.
