Weeks after it was rumoured that Samsung will launch its next flagship Galaxy Note 8 device in September to counter its biggest rival Apple, the South Korean giant has “accidentally” revealed the device on Twitter.


In a tweet, Samsung promoted its new processor Exynos 8895 (commonly known as Exynos 9) that is used in the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus.


“Do what you want. Exynos will get things done. Learn more about Exynos 8895,” Samsung tweeted the message with an image of a device. But the smartphone used in the promotion was neither of the Galaxy S8 flagships.


Furthermore the angle of the handset Samsung shows does not answer the most contentious aspect about it: Whether the fingerprint sensor will be integrated into the bottom of the display or not. Multiple leaks suggest Samsung hasn’t been able to pull this off and it will remain rear mounted in a slightly less ridiculous place.


The smartphone used in the photo has an Infinity Display which has even smaller bezels than the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus.


This matches almost exactly with the images that were leaked in June when it was reported that Galaxy Note 8 will have a 6.2-inch display, dual cameras, 3,300 mAh battery, the Exynos 8895 or Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chipset and 6GB RAM.


It is also rumoured that this upcoming flagship will be priciest one till now with a price tag of $900. Interestingly, the next iPhone is also rumoured to be the costliest Apple device till date with a cost price of $1,000 and will be launched in September.


Well, it goes without saying that Twitter was flooded with tweets coming from smartphone enthusiasts soon after the post. It is worth noting that despite the tweets, Samsung did not remove the post.
