This new gadget will be hitting American stores at a price of $399 from 21st June as a result of two-year contract between the two companies.
Samsung has always been trying to bring a device that can be of strong competition to Apple’s iPad. Samsung Galaxy Note 8 serves this purpose very well with the market experience that Samsung gained after selling Galaxy Note and Galaxy Note II.
