The Galaxy S8, which is expected to hit the market in April, will feature Samsung’s artificial intelligence (AI) assistant, tentatively named “Bixby.” The Galaxy Note 8 will add ultra-definition VR feature and improved styleus feature as well as Bixby. Samsung will decide on the release date of the Galaxy Note 8 after considering those of the previous models – the Galaxy Note 7 on August 19, 2016, the Galaxy Note 5 on August 20 and the Galaxy Note 4 on September 26. However, some say that the company should launch the Galaxy Note 8 early, while others say that it should set the release date carefully. Samsung also considers its plans to upgrade and improve the security of the iris authentication system which was included in the Galaxy Note 7 and made a hit.*
An official from a Samsung Electronics’ partner company said, “Samsung will introduce 2K resolution displays in the Galaxy S8, but it will use 4K resolution displays in the Galaxy Note 8 to realize improved virtual reality (VR) functions. I heard that it will connect with new Gear VR wearable.”
