Looks like there is no stopping the news concerning Samsung’s upcoming
Galaxy Note 8
. In the latest update, the

Twitter/ @evleaks[/caption] For starters, both the benchmarks confirm that the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 will come with 6 GB RAM. This makes it the first Samsung Note series phone with that amount of RAM. The AnTuTu benchmark shows the listing for model number SM-N9500, which according to GSMArena hints at the Chinese variant of the phone. This variant comes with Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chipset, Adreno 540 GPU, 6 GB RAM, 64 GB ROM, Android 7.1.1 out of the box. The GFXBench benchmark shows the SoC as Exynos 8895 with a Mali G71 GPU. In terms of camera specs, both the benchmarks confirm the presence of a 12 MP + 8 MP unit. This is different from a report we came across yesterday which hinted at a 12 MP + 13 MP camera unit. According to a report in GSMArena, the dual rear camera would allegedly be
housing one 12 MP sensor with dual-pixel autofocus
paired with a 13 MP telephoto camera. The 13 MP telephoto camera is expected to provide a 2x fixed optical zoom. Both the camera sensors will come with optical image stabilisation. [caption id=“attachment_3935161” align=“alignnone” width=“825”]
