It is priced at Rs.67,990 or $1,060, and the pre-orders are starting from today.

The Galaxy Note 8 keeps the traditional Note elements like an S-Pen and a Flat Design and adds some more things like an Infinity Display with dual curved sides, a rear-facing fingerprint scanner, dual rear cameras, etc. Just like every Note device, the S-Pen is one of the key highlights of the Samsung Galaxy Note 8. It is now much better and more precise. You can use it to do tasks like translate the full sentence, send animated messages or write a memo on the lock screen.
