Samsung Electronics has officially announced its new Galaxy Note8 phablet, which gets the S Pen, a 'base-border' screen that can be used even with one hand, and, according to the manufacturer, the best camera in its history of smartphones.
The Galaxy Note8 features the largest display in the Note series, a 6.3-inch Super AMOLED Quad HD + display, but the slim design makes it easy to grip with one hand.
In addition to the dual active windows feature, the Galaxy Note8 introduces a new App Pair feature that allows you to create one shortcut for two apps and place it on the Edge bar to launch two programs simultaneously in dual-window mode. Thanks to this, you can watch videos, chat with friends, or join a conference call, holding a document with the necessary information in front of you on the screen.
The company notes that the Galaxy Note8's improved S Pen opens up new ways to write, draw, interact with your smartphone and chat with friends. The newest electronic pen features a thinner nib, improved pressure sensitivity, and features that allow users to uniquely express their thoughts and emotions.
Galaxy Note8 also received two 12-megapixel main cameras with optical image stabilization, where there is a Live Focus function designed to adjust the amount of background blur, as well as a Dual Shot mode, when both lenses of the main camera take a picture at the same two pictures, one zoomed in, and the other a wide-angle shot showing the entire background.
Other features of the Galaxy Note8:
- Smartphone and S Pen are protected from water and dust according to IP684 standard: the electronic pen can be used even under water
- Fast wireless charging
- A variety of biometric authentication options including fingerprint and iris scanners
- 6 GB RAM and up to 256 GB internal storage
- Connects to the Samsung DeX Portable Docking Station, which allows you to use your smartphone as a personal computer
The Galaxy Note8 will go on sale in mid-September and will be available in three colors: Black Diamond, Yellow Topaz and Blue Sapphire.
