Samsung Galaxy Note 8 vs. Samsung Galaxy Note 7: What's the Difference?

The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 will be on sale soon, and is one of the most hyped smartphone releases… well, ever. After the marketing disaster of mass recalls of the previous model, the Samsung Galaxy Note 7, sales across the board at Samsung suffered badly.

Samsung Galaxy Z
