The Galaxy Note8 builds upon Samsung’s legacy of innovation. In 2011, Samsung pioneered the big-screen smartphone category with the original Galaxy Note. Since then, the Note series has continued to define and redefine this space by introducing cutting-edge features like the iconic S Pen, fast wireless charging2, as well as water and dust resistance3. The Galaxy Note8 reimagines the big-screen smartphone all over again, with an immersive 6.3 inch Infinity Display in a narrower form factor that makes it easy to hold in one hand or slip in a pocket.

Consumers who purchase a Galaxy Note8 between August 24, 2017, and September 24, 2017, get their choice of a free Samsung Gear 360 camera ($229.99 retail value) or a free Galaxy Foundation kit with a Samsung 128GB EVO+ microSD card and Fast Charge Wireless Charging Convertible ($189.98 retail value). The promotion will last for a limited time and only while supplies last4. Terms and conditions apply. Visit samsung.com/us/promotions for more information.
