The Galaxy Note 8 launch on the horizon is one of the more exciting upcoming device launches, so it’s no surprise to see more leaks for the device, with a purported protective glass screen protector popping up online.
The screen protector shows off the curvature of the screen, as well as a very minimal, almost bezel-less design for the upcoming phone. The screen protector will cover the rumoured 6.3” 18.5:9 aspect ratio display which will also incorporate the curved edge-to-edge ‘Infinity Display’ of the Galaxy S8 series.

We’ve previously seen pictures of the Note 8 thanks to renders from case maker Olixar which confirms this almost bezel-less design.
The Note 8 is rumoured to launch in late August in New York City, before going on-sale in September with a rumoured $1500AUD price tag. That $1500 will net you a lot of hardware though, with the phone apparently powered by either an Exynos 8895 or Snapdragon 835 CPU dependent on market, with 6GB of RAM and a minimum of 64GB of onboard storage. The battery will be reduced after last years issues with the Note 7, with Samsung apparently scaling down to a 3,300mAh battery.
The Note 8 will launch in three colours – Gold, Black and Blue – though availability of colours will be dependent on market.
Wow, so no iris scanner then? Looks more 16:9 ish than the S8 series.
