Samsung has unveiled its Galaxy Note8 flagship smartphone. The Galaxy Note8 has the biggest screen ever on a Note device, with a 6.3-inch Quad HD+ Super AMOLED Infinity Display in an all-screen design.

The Galaxy Note8 enables multitasking with its new App Pair feature, which lets users create a custom pairing of most apps on the Edge panel that will simultaneously launch two apps in Multi Window mode, according to Samsung. Users can watch a video while messaging friends or dial into a conference call with the number and agenda in front of them.

Since its introduction, the S Pen has been one of the Note's defining features. With the new Note, the enhanced S Pen includes a finer tip and improved pressure sensitivity3, unlocking new ways to write, draw and interact with the phone and communicate with others.

With Galaxy Note8, users can handwrite a message, add special effects and share it as an animated GIF on several popular messaging and social apps, according to the vendor. The improved Translate feature of the S Pen lets users hover over the text to quickly translate not only individual words, but entire sentences, into 71 languages and convert units and foreign currencies.

The Galaxy Note8 comes with two 12MP rear cameras with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) on both the wide-angle and telephoto lenses. It is equipped with 6GB RAM, a 10nm processor, 64GB of storage and expandable memory (up to 256GB8).
