zodiacfml, 13 Feb 2017I was skeptical with 4K screens on a smartphone but more li... more4K is the minimum requirement for proper VR viewing... anything less and it's a blocky mess, too ugly to look at.

    EugeneOnTheEdge, 13 Feb 2017Long live the Note lineup. The Note line-up is dead. Haven't you paying attention? It's the same phone as the one releasing early each year merely with pen support , 6 months late and pricier.

    It would had been a million times better for customers if they were to retire the name and just add pen to support to S series.

      Oh no, this means no Spen support for S8/S8 plus.

      So for those loving the pen feature would have to wait 6 more months to get the EXACT SAME PHONE + pen for more ... customers punked once again.

                I was skeptical with 4K screens on a smartphone but more like this will have the option to lower the resolution when the user chooses to, then I would love to see the difference versus 1080 or QHD screens.

                  Anonanoymoususes, 13 Feb 2017what kind of name is Baikal ?Besides the lake is one of the most expensive and nicest pistol makers ... in the world! Regret not being able to buy one (pistol) due to it's price tag, for gun collectors Baikal's are rarities worth to pay, now for the S8, funny the name, maybe some Polish R&D dev made the suggestion who knows! ;)

                          Hurry up wth the darn thing, there is tons of information on other phones and brands and they are tempting... why make us wait so long after Note7 fiasco, we get nothing, no info, no promise and my Note4 is breaking down (an no Note5 to buy here and who would get an old phone anyway).

                            Note8. IP rated for Siberian weather. Lol. Just kidding. I thought the Baikal deepest lake thing is meant to signify Google Deepmind. The same way they name S8 as project Dream to signify Google Daydream.

                                    I think they are going to make the note 8 mighty durable and full of unknown technologies which aren't available on the phones yet. Lets hope it doesn't become a grenade.

                                      I hope they put bigger batteries in it with smaller screens.
