Samsung is all set to launch the Galaxy Note 8 tonight at its Galaxy Unpacked event in New York. Similar to the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+, the Galaxy Note 8 has also been subject to a bunch of leaks. Even as we are just a few hours away from the official launch, the leaks don’t seem to end. An Orchid Gray variant of the Galaxy Note 8 has leaked, along with a possible 256GB storage variant of the phablet.
The leaked render of the Galaxy Note 8 was shared by Evan Blass on Twitter, and only confirms past speculations. The design language of the Galaxy Note 8 has become quite evident now with almost no bezels on the sides, and thin bezels forming the top and bottom parts. The phablet doesn’t house a home button, and features a rear fingerprint sensor like the Galaxy S8 duo. The Galaxy Note 8 will possibly come with dual-camera module at the rear, according to leaks.
