Here's what Samsung's Galaxy Note 8 looks like on the inside

Samsung's Note 8 is an incredibly important phone for the company. It comes after the Note 7, which was pulled from the market after numerous reports of its battery overheating and, sometimes, catching fire.

This is still an improvement, though, from Samsung's revived Note 7 Fan Edition, which had an even smaller battery than the original Note 7. The Note 8's battery is also centrally positioned on the phone, which is different from the Note 7, where the battery was on the the phone's right side. We're not sure if this makes any difference, safety-wise.  Read more...
