Think one of the best things about the Note 8, if it's going to cost 900 or more, is it'll make the Note 5 even cheaper hehe.
Got a tip for us?

And a new color, deep see blue. Leaked by evleaks. It's supposed to be a darker shade of the coral blue. Hope evleaks gets a leak of the back.
Soon will be able to use a smartphone to measure out a foot in length. 
That's pretty. I like the color but something about the shape or proportions looks odd to me.
I still miss my Note 7. My first one. The second one ran hot and toward the last couple of days looked like it might join one of the toasty ones. The first one was almost perfect. I would probably not have upgraded to the S8+ if I still had that one and there had been no recall. If they were selling the refurbs in the US I might still have gotten one instead of the S8+. Maybe. The coral blue was so beautiful.
Yesssss, I've always wanted a darker shade of blue from Samsung. Hope it looks good on the back, and makes its way to the S9.
My excitement for the Note series is really about what we can expect with the following S series.

You know it wont' be long until we have a 12" screen on a smartphone, wow what an achievement. Unfortunately it will be a 14" x 2" screen which for some strange reason everyone will rave about.
Naw, It'll be a folding display.
Yep you're right, 16" x 2" folding out to 32" x 2", wow a 30" screen on a smartphone!!
And cylindrical too don't forget!Yep you're right, 16" x 2" folding out to 32" x 2", wow a 30" screen on a smartphone!!
According to Evan:
Note8 pre-orders from Samsung (starting 8/24) come with a 256GB microSD card plus choice of convertible wireless charger or 360 cam.
Release date is 9/15.
iPhone 8 will most likely be released on the same day. iPhone 7 was released on Friday, 7/16.

If true, there's going to be some very upset delivery drivers that day.
In the US, the note 8 will only come in Black and Orchid Gray at release.

I can tell you this 100 percent true.

The updated camera with optical zoom is the only thing that is tempting me to upgrade. I also, don’t care for the proportions of this or the S8. A Note FE may be the route I go if I stick with Android but and Amoled IPhone is also tempting, with a similar camera to boot.
Hard to believe, outside of a two week IP 7 trial, I’ve had this Note 5 (or any phone in this day and age) for 2 whole years now. It’s still a beast but the battery is certainly losing capacity. S pen usage is down to very little but the Note has previously been a step ahead of the S series.

I find all keynotes to be cringey. All I want is the device. So no, not me.
I'll probably be dipping in and out of it (keynote). Rumour is that the free gift for pre-orders in Europe is the DeX station.
Also hoping for an aggressive trade in policy, especially for current Samsung and or especially Note users. The Note 7 had a decent trade in promo but just as I was about to take advantage with my Note 5, the stories starting coming out.
I wouldn't go so far as to say I'm excited but I've always loved the Note series. The two items I'm most hopeful about with this iteration is the supposed cleanup of Samsung Experience to kill lag along with the extra RAM. If Samsung can just clean up bloat, I think they'll have the single most compelling Android offering on the market (unless you're a complete stock nerd. I like stock only in so far as it offers the best performance for Android devices).
