SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 8 TO BE UNVEILED AT A LAUNCH EVENT IN NEW YORK TODAY

New York : Samsung’s (SSNLF) Galaxy Note 8 will be unveiled at a launch event in New York on Wednesday morning, just a month ahead of Apple Inc.’s (AAPL) expected launch date for the iPhone 8.

 The Note series is best known for its larger screen size and for having a stylus. When the first Note phone was released in 2011 it had a 5.3-inch display which was considered comically large at the time. But that phone ended up starting a trend for larger-sized smartphones with maximum screen space, according to Jackdaw Research chief analyst Jan Dawson. The iPhone 7 Plus that came out last September measures 5.5 inches reported thestreet.com
