Samsung has already released their latest flagship smartphone offering for this year, namely the Samsung Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus. With the new flagships' launch already concluded, fans are now looking forward to the company's next big offering, which will be in the form of its next Note device, the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.

The company will be treading on fragile ground this time around, given the tragic situation they had to endure with the Galaxy Note 7. Given this fact, the company has likely put a lot of effort into its next offering to ensure that it doesn't suffer the same fate as its predecessor.

According to a recently uncovered leak, as reported by Android Headlines, Samsung is likely playing it safe this year with their next Note smartphone offering this year. The brand new leak looks to be a live image of an alleged Samsung Galaxy Note 8 alongside its accompanying S Pen.

Upon closer inspection of the image, fans would likely mistake the device to the Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus, were it not for the S Pen beside it. The alleged Note 8 shown on the leak, which was originally spotted on Slash Leaks, shows a device that is similar in all aspects of its design to the Samsung Galaxy S8. It might even be possible that the device is actually an S8 Plus placed beside an S Pen from the Note 7. However, there is really no way to confirm its validity.

As per a report from Trusted Reviews, the alleged Galaxy Note 8 on the image still sports the same 18.5:9 aspect ratio and the same bezel-less display design. Rumors have claimed that the upcoming phablet smartphone may even sport the same internals as the S8 including either a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 CPU or an Exynos 8895 chipset depending on the territory. The device is also rumored to be coming with as much as 6 GB of RAM and a whopping 256 GB of internal storage.
