Samsung is hosting Galaxy Unpacked event in New York City, which has long been used as the company's flagship launch pad to unveil flagship phones.
After facing huge dent to its brand image with the Galaxy Note 7 fiasco, Samsung, despite odds, has braved to unveil its successor—Galaxy Note 8—, and finally got the monkey off its back at the Galaxy Unpacked 2017 episode 2 event on August 23.

Highlight of Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2017 episode 2:
Samsung in all probability will be unveiling the much-awaited Galaxy Note 8. It is said to have shared almost all features of the Galaxy S8 series including the crowd favourite Infinity Display design, but with little changes in terms of shape and addition of multi-utility tool S Pen stylus.
After the unveiling, the Galaxy Note 8 is expected to be put for pre-order in the following day in select markets on August 24 and finally hit stores in mid-September.
