Following the worldwide recall and eventual discontinuation of the Galaxy Note 7, there were doubts surrounding Samsung’s future production of Note devices. Despite their efforts to address the battery issues that caused the devices to overheat, Samsung could not prevent the demise of the Note 7. This setback was significant for Samsung, given the renowned reputation of the Note series for its premium specifications and advanced features. Consequently, industry analysts speculated that Samsung might not release any future Note devices.
Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Update: Codenamed ‘Baikal’ – Overview
Contrary to expectations, it was revealed two months ago that Samsung is actively developing a new flagship in the Note series, the Galaxy Note 8. Today, fresh details indicate that Samsung has codenamed this upcoming device as ‘Baikal’. This latest development solidifies the fact that a new Galaxy Note is indeed in progress. ‘Baikal’ references a Siberian lake renowned for its depth, presenting an intriguing choice for the code name.
