Samsung has finally confirmed a dedicated press event for what is almost certainly going to be the launch of the Galaxy Note 8. In a long-awaited announcement, Samsung revealed that it would be hosting a Galaxy Unpacked press conference on August 23 in the USA. The event will take place at Park Avenue Armoury in New York City, with proceedings kicking off at 11am EST (4pm BST). This means Samsung won't be announcing the next Galaxy Note phone at Berlin's September IFA 2017 technology tradeshow, as was previously expected.
