After the sad demise and rebirth as a Fan Edition, Galaxy Note 7 might see the daylight if everything goes right. With the frequent battery explosions, Galaxy Note 7 was kind of pulled back from the market by the company. Samsung again got the battery explosion thing fixed and rebranded the Note 7 as the Fan Edition. But all of this will again go down the lane as the company is preparing for the grand launch of Galaxy Note 8 on August 23 at New York.
Way ahead of the launch, as per sources the final specifications of the Note 8 have been leaked and it kind of looks genuine and upright real for that matter. Evan Blass recently tweeted the final production unit on his twitter handle @evleaks where he also posted the final spec sheet as mentioned below.
