Samsung Electronics is anticipated to release another family member of Galaxy Note this year which was dubbed as Samsung Galaxy Note 8. The said device which was codenamed 'Baikal' will reportedly feature Qualcomm Snapdragon 865, 6 GB of RAM and other specs similar to its predecessor.

According to Softpedia, the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 has been internally dubbed as 'Baikal'. This piece of information came from a Twitter user named @Universelce so it should be taken with skepticism.

Baikal is one of the world's deepest lakes and it is situated in southern Siberia. The said codename for Samsung Galaxy Note 8 would recommend that Samsung Electronica aims to implement a number of features to avoid overheating issues with the forthcoming Samsung Galaxy Note 8.

When it comes with the specs, Tech Times has learned that the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 might feature a 5.7-inch display similar to its predecessor; Samsung Galaxy Note 7. Nevertheless, seeing the Samsung Galaxy S8+ is speculated to boast a 6.2-inch screen, Samsung may think twice for another strategy and equip the Galaxy Note 8 with a similar sized display.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 might also be armed with 4K display and be equipped with Bixby which was Samsung's voice assistant. It was also believed that the upcoming Galaxy Note 8 might be engineered with Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor that will be partnered with 6 GB of RAM.

Considering the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 was fortified with an iris scanner, the Galaxy Note 8 might also follow the trail. The fingerprint scanner, as is believed to be made available for Galaxy S8 and it may be embedded in the upcoming Samsung phablet display as well.

It was also noted that Samsung Galaxy Note 7 has been accessible in 128 GB storage option and it was hoped that Samsung Galaxy Note 8 feature 256 GB. The Samsung phablet is also possible to be armed with a removable battery which is speculated to be manufactured by LG and not Samsung itself.

Moreover, the above-mentioned specs are based on speculations and anticipations, so it is recommended to be taken with a grain of salt. Nevertheless, Samsung Electronics will surely spill every detail about the imminent phablet as its launch date nears.
