Dongjin Koh, president of mobile communications business at Samsung, has announced that the official release date of the upcoming Galaxy Note 8 will be revealed at the end of August. This is just another confirmation of rumours that the flagship phablet will be announced on August 23, at an event in New York City.

Koh didn't say anything about the announcement date nor did he deny rumours about the event on August 23 - we guess we will have to await the announcement of the announcement.

He also denied rumours in the Tame Apple Press that the S8 had not been doing that well and said that cumulative sales of the Galaxy S8 smartphones are 15 percent higher than their predecessors.
