Galaxy Note 8 release date and pre-order freebies revealed

Samsung confirmed several weeks ago that it’s going to unveil the Galaxy Note 8 on August 23. The company hasn’t confirmed when it will start taking pre-orders for the device and when the Galaxy Note 8 will be released. It hasn’t even confirmed what freebies will be offered to customers who pre-order the new flagship.

Some new information has surfaced online today courtesy of Evan Blass a.k.a @evleaks. The serial leakster claims that Samsung is going to start taking pre-orders for the Galaxy Note 8 from August 24. That will be the very next day after the unveiling.

As far as the pre-order incentives are concerned, Galaxy Note 8 customers in the US will have to choose between a 256GB microSD card + convertible wireless charger and Samsung’s Gear 360 camera. The pre-order gift for customers in Europe is said to be a DeX dock.

Samsung launched the convertible wireless charger earlier this year. It can turn into a pad or a stand depending on how the user likes their wireless charger to be set up. The Gear 360 (2017) was launched three months ago. This $229 360-degree camera has 8.4-megapixel image sensors and can record video in true 4K resolution.

Blass adds that the Galaxy Note 8 release date will be September 15. The first wave is likely going to be limited to launch markets that include South Korea, the United States and some countries in Europe.

Samsung leaks the Galaxy Note 8 on its own website

Samsung appears to have leaked the Galaxy Note 8 on its own website inadvertently. It seems that someone made a mistake. The Galaxy Note 8 was listed on Samsung’s official website for a while before the page was taken down. We did get two official renders out of this so we’re not complaining.

You can see that the official renders are not different from the renders and live images that have been leaked so far. When Samsung officially unveils the Galaxy Note 8 next week, its design is not going to surprise you. This particular listing on Samsung’s website was for the factory unlocked version of the Galaxy Note 8.

The page has since been taken down and now displays a “the page you’re looking for is not available” error message. That was to be expected. Someone at Samsung jumped the gun but that doesn’t mean the company will no longer keep fans in the dark until it’s time for the official announcement.

Samsung is going to officially unveil the Galaxy Note 8 on August 23 at an event in New York City. It will also confirm information about pricing and availability at the event. The Galaxy Note 8 may cost up to 1,000 euro in some markets, previous reports suggest.
