The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is out. After eight months of anticipation for the new Note, here it is. Since January when we were told Samsung would still be releasing a new Note 8. Despite the Note 7 fiasco, we didn’t stop hoping this one will be better. The Galaxy S8 and S8+ turned out to be okay with only minor issues so we’re confident the Note 8 will also offer the same great performance with no overheating and battery explosion.
We’ve got our hands-on feature already and we’re certain you’re curious to know when, where, and how you can avail of the new Samsung Galaxy Note 8. As expected, major mobile carriers in the United States will be offering the smartphone. AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon Wireless, and US Cellular each posted announcements of pricing, availability, and even special promos.
AT&T will open pre-order for the device starting August 24 online at att.com/galaxynote8 or at any AT&T store. Units will be ready on September 15.
