Value Walk reports that it has been rumored that the Galaxy Note 8 will be housing an update to the current top-end Snapdragon 821 chip, called the Snapdragon 830. The 830 will deliver even more power at a more efficient rate so if this turns out to be true, the Note 8 will be another phablet beast to beat.
Rumors have also been abundant that a more interesting AI assistant could come to the Note 8. If Apple has Siri and Microsoft has Cortana, it seems Samsung could be getting an all new AI assist called Bixby, which comes from the original developers of Siri.
It’s been rumored that unlike the generic instructions that Siri and Cortana are able to handle, Bixby will be able to understand conversational language better, enabling your smartphone to book a table at a restaurant or order a pizza for you. It’s also expected to work with third-party applications unlike current AI Assistants.
A previous Inquisitr report also raised expectations that the Galaxy Note 8 could sport JBL-tuned speakers. This speculation comes following a recent move by Samsung to acquire audio firm Harman in a massive $8-billion deal. Harman is known to be behind premium audio brands like JBL.
With the crazy that the Galaxy Note 7 has brought, Samsung needs all the edge it can get its hands on to be able to come back with the Note 8. So if they’re upping the ante, following through with these rumored features will be a great place to start.
