The queen of Samsung Galaxy is back with the "explosive" Note 8. The handset is ready to clear the name of its unfortunate predecessor, the Note 7 with its high-performing specs, groundbreaking features and safe and secure over-all built in a not so affordable cost.

Once the Galaxy S8 is release, Galaxy Note 8 will be the next line and Samsung is reportedly pressured due to battery fiasco in 2016 that led to the early discontinuation of Galaxy Note 7. However, the South Korean tech is reportedly assuring that everything is under control and checked during the manufacturing of Galaxy Note 8. 

To ensure the absence of issues in Galaxy Note 8 battery, Samsung has come up with an 8-point battery testing procedure that includes durability test, visual inspection, X-Ray, charge and discharge test, TVOC test, disassembling test, accelerated usage test and OCV test. According to BGR, the South Korean government also partakes in ensuring that the phones won't explode at any given time.

The ministry of Korean Agency for Technology Standards plans to make revisions battery safety and smartphone recall laws such as renewal of smartphone batteries once in every two years. Time frames for will be also strictly implemented in smartphone recall to avoid delays in reporting from the manufacturer's end.

On the other hand, despite the negative feedback and criticisms Samsung received from the community from last year's fiasco, Samsung's Mobile Chief Dong-jin Koh promises to deliver a safer, better and more innovative Galaxy Note, CNET reported. As part of innovation, the flagship smartphone is expected to be VR-ready and has 4K display resolution.

To be able to produce such new functionalities, Samsung has reportedly working on high-end Exynos chipsets that is rumored to be SoC version with built-in powerful GPU. Galaxy Note 8 or codename "Project Baikal" is expected to hit the store shelves in late 2017 with a not so affordable price point.
