Samsung might have ‘accidentally’ unveiled Galaxy Note 8

Samsung knows the power of leaks and teasers so it seems to be banking on the hype surrounding the Galaxy Note 8. We can’t quite say this was an accident on their part though. On Samsung’s official Exynos Twitter account, Samsung tweeted a promotional image of the Exynos 8895—the chipset found in the Galaxy S8 and S8+. But the image we see in the tweet isn’t either device. It shows another smartphone with an Infinity Display and even smaller bezels than the aforementioned flagships. It seems to match the leaked renders and schematics that have been showing up for the new Note device. It’s notable also that Samsung hasn’t taken it down yet or addressed the image even as the Twitterverse is in a frenzy because of it.

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 to get a retina scanner?

Samsung is looking to one up its competition once again by introducing a new security feature: a retina scanner. Samsung Exynos tweeted something about improving security for the future and showed an image of a retina being scanned by a phone with the words “Unlock the future.” This may or may not make its way into the Galaxy Note 4 and it would be interesting to see how this feature might fair in real-life situations. We're curious, would you want a retina scanner on your device?

Security can be improved using features unique to us. That's what we envision. What would you use? #ExynosTomorrow pic.twitter.com/KLgQ1q9GkP
