Although Samsung started working on the Galaxy Note 8 weeks after the Galaxy Note 7 was recalled, it looks like the phablet has a long way ahead before reaching the shelves. According to new rumours, even the foldable Galaxy X smartphone will arrive earlier.

A report from China claims that Samsung is aiming to launch its foldable smartphone in the third quarter of 2017, which will be out up to three months before we see the next flagship phablet. The Galaxy Note 8 is rumoured to be released sometime in the last quarter of 2017, but it is still too early to talk about it.
