it is my pleasure to introduce the Galaxy Note 8 satsang wants customers to give them a second chance with the Galaxy Note 8 the successor to the disastrous note 7 none of us will ever forget what happened last year while never specifically mentioning the two separate battery flaws that caused some note 7 phones to catch fire in 2016 Samsung's president thanked the customers who stuck with them like the Galaxy s8 launched earlier this year the note 8 is covered by Samsung's eight point battery safety check so this is really important because it is the company's first chance to go out there and prove that it can make safe new phones as well as a six point three inch screen with curved edges the note eight has a stylus for writing navigating the phone or translating text on-screen it's also the first Samsung phone with two rear cameras one camera has a wide-angle lens for capturing big scenes and the other has a teller lens with two times optical zoom so you can get closer to your subjects without sacrificing image quality Samsung's virtual assistant Bigsby will also be available on the phone as a competitor to Alexa and Siri I can press the bixby button and say food photo the note 8 comes just weeks ahead of when Apple is expected to reveal its 10th anniversary iPhone I think for people who are on the fence it does make sense to wait and see what Apple has offered to try to win back former note 7 owners Samsung is offering them up to four hundred and twenty-five dollars when they trade in their current phone for a Galaxy Note 8 the note 8 goes on sale September 15 in San Francisco Lexie savita's cnet.com for CBS News
