At this time, the Galaxy Note 8 could be official in a matter of weeks. According to recent reports, the Galaxy Note 8 could release on Aug. 23 to precede the IFA conference in early September as well as the launch of rival devices, such as the iPhone 8, the Google Pixel 2 and the LG V30.

The renders shared by Samsung closely resemble many previously leaked renders; in particular, a design shared by Android Headlines earlier in July. It is likely the Galaxy Note 8 may closely resemble the Galaxy S8+ in design, with some small exceptions. The Galaxy Note 8 will likely be slightly larger. It is currently rumored to have a 6.3-inch dual-edge curved display, while the Galaxy S8+ has a 6.2-inch display. The biggest differentiator between the S line and the Note line is the S-Pen stylus included with Galaxy Note handsets.

Additionally, the ad shows only the front of the device. Rumors also suggest the Galaxy Note 8 may feature a dual camera setup, which, would also allow for easy differentiation between the unreleased device and the Galaxy S8+.
