Samsung Note 8 bouys Nigeria’s smartphone market

-

SAMSUNG’S newest flagship Smartphone, the Galaxy Note 8 is now available in the Nigerian market, according to an official statement by Samsung Electronic­s West Africa.

The Note 8 takes cues from Samsung’s Note and Galaxy S lines, while boasting even more exciting features making the smartphone a stunning device. It is noteworthy that customers who pre-registered will get a free fast-charging battery pack and a free back cover, from the 13th of October, 2017.

Made with Corning Gorilla Glass 5.0, the new smartphone has a 6.3-inch QHD screen, the largest screen on a Galaxy Note phone, a dual camera, two 12megapixe­l cameras on the back – a dual pixel primary wide-angel sensor with f/1.7 aperture and OIS, and a secondary telephoto lens with f/1.4 aperture and OIS. The smartphone features the company’s signature Infinity Display, giving the screen more surface area for use with the S Pen.

Director of Informatio­n, Communicat­ion & Technology for Samsung Electronic­s West Africa, Emmanouil Revmatas, said that the infinity display is a game changer for Note users because where others see more screen, users see more space to do what they love and get things done. “The Galaxy Note 8 has the biggest screen ever on a Note device, yet its narrow body makes it comfortabl­e to hold in one hand. With the Super AMOLED technology, combined with a resolution of 2,960 x 1,440, all the typical characteri­stics featured in previous Samsung phones such as vibrant colors, high contrast, and inky dark blacks are incredibly sharp. The Note 8’s display is absolutely gorgeous with a screen fantastic for all kinds of use such as watching Youtube videos, playing games, casual web browsing, and boosting productivi­ty,” said Director of Mobile for Samsung Electronic­s West Africa, Olumide Ojo. Built with 6GB RAM, a

10nm processor, and 64GB memory space (expandable up to 256GB), the Galaxy Note 8 offers users more flexibilit­y for internet browsing, video streaming, playing games, and multitaski­ng. Importantl­y, the device is also water and dust resistant (IP68). Users do not have to worry about getting the device damaged when accidental­ly dropped in fresh water, as deep as 1.5 meters, for up to 30 minutes.

The S Pen, like the Galaxy Note 8 itself, is Ip68-rated for water and dust resistance; users can easily jot down thoughts and ideas on a wet screen without interrup- tion. The S Pen can also translate full sentences in foreign languages, depending on the country and region. All you need do is let the S Pen hover above the selected words. Thanks to the “Screen Off” Memo, users can write up to 100 pages of notes, as well as edit and pin them to the Always-on Display, an easy way for users to capture and share their thoughts with ease.
