I’m not entirely sold, though. Earlier this year, I received an alert informing me that my Galaxy S8 had been dispatched ahead of time, only to later find out it hadn’t; Samsung had merely filed a consignment notice with its delivery partner, which prematurely sent out shipping alerts.
The moral of the story? Don’t get your hopes up. Even if the notification turns out to be a mistake (we’re hoping it isn’t), the Galaxy Note 8 is scheduled to start shipping in the region in a little more than a week—so you won’t need to wait too much longer to get your hands on it.
Announced on August 23, the stylus-toting Galaxy Note 8 sports a stunning 6.3-inch edge-to-edge Infinity Display, an Exynos 8895/Snapdragon 835 processor, 6GB of RAM, a 12MP dual-camera setup, an 8MP front-facing shooter and a slightly disappointing 3,300mAh battery.
Update: It appears that Sprint and T-Mobile have also started sending out shipments.
