Galaxy Note8 launches as most expensive Samsung phone yet

CAIRO –2 July 2017: Samsung will launch the new Galaxy Note8 cellphone on August 26, 2017. It will be the most expensive phone every sold by Samsung worth €999 ($1316.18 or LE 20,714).

The device is 6.3 inches with the same edge-to-edge ratio as the Galaxy S8 line, as stated in online technology publication VentureBeat. Measuring nearly the same size as last year’s Galaxy S8+, the Note8 marks the first time in seven years that Samsung is considering more than just a larger screen to distinguish between the Note and the S series.
