The smartphone could have a Force Touch pressure sensitive display just like the Apple iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus and iPhone 7 series, reported Korea’s ET News.

Tipster Evan Blass recently tweeted out a press render of the Galaxy Note 8 in a midnight black colour. It is expected to come in orchid grey and deep blue colour options as well. Reports suggest that Samsung is planning to launch the ‘Emperor Edition’ of Galaxy Note 8 as well, which will feature 6GB RAM and 256GB storage. There will be a microSD card storage for memory expansion. Another report by the Korean portal says pre-booking for the device will open from September 1 and it will go on sale in South Korea starting September 15.

Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is rumoured to sport a dual camera setup with 3x optical zoom and depth of field features. It will be backed by a 3,300mAh battery, and the phone could cost €999 (or approx Rs 75,749), making it the company’s most expensive smartphone till date.
