Samsung to rival Apple by releasing "most expensive" Galaxy Note 8 in September

In an apparent move to take on its biggest rival Apple, South Korean tech giant Samsung could launch its most expensive Galaxy phone to date - Note 8 - device in September, not in August as earlier predicted, the media reported. The launch will align the Note 8 with the next iPhone unveiling from Apple which will come with AMOLED display and newly-launched iOS 11. According to VentureBeat, Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Note 8 may be its priciest one till now with a price tag of $900. Interestingly, the next iPhone is also rumoured to be the costliest Apple device till date with a cost price of $1,000. The report said that the Note 8 will have a 6.2-inch display, dual cameras, 3,300 mAh battery, the Exynos 8895 or Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chipset and 6 GB RAM. As far as the software is concerned, Samsung has apparently improved the ease-of-use of split-screen multitasking, endowed the S Pen with more capabilities and added the ability to pin handwritten notes to the always-on display, the report noted. The Note 8 might be available in shades of black, blue and gold.
