The Samsung Galaxy Note8’s most expensive option could cost over US$1,000

Much has been said about the Galaxy Note8. Some have already said it’ll cost over €1,000. And this new report from South Korean site Osen might be confirming these reports with claims that an unnamed Samsung Electronics official saying there will be two versions of the Galaxy Note8: 64GB and 128GB versions. And since the base version is tipped to cost around US$1,000 or $1,100 depending on the market, it would make sense that the 128GB model will be much more expensive. The high cost of Samsung’s newest phablet is attributed to prices of some components going up. The report doesn’t state which ones though.

The Galaxy Note8 will supposedly be launched in New York on August 26^th. While this lines up with previous rumours, the report doesn’t really say if they’re just reiterating previous rumours or if the source confirmed this as the lunch date.

Here’s a look at the cancelled Microsoft Surface Mini

Back in 2014, Microsoft announced the Surface Pro 3. But a few weeks before that announcement, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and former Nokia CEO Stephen Elop scrapped the Surface Mini project. It seems like a right move that Microsoft cancelled the tablet though as they haven’t had much success in the tablet market. But if you’re curious about how it looks like and what it was supposed to be like. Here’s your preview.

Resembling a notepad of sorts, it was an 8-inch device with a 1,440 x 1,080 display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, 1GB of RAM, and 32GB of storage. It even had a kickstand to it and a rubber-like exterior that would be available in different colors. It was designed to run on Windows RT and have the same support for the Surface Pen.

Facebook brings ‘Find WiFi’ feature to all users

Facebook started testing its “Find WiFi” feature on its app last year in a few countries. The feature allows you to find businesses nearby that have free, public Wi-Fi. Now, the social network is expanding the feature to all users around the world and rolling it out to both iOS and Android users. When you have this feature on, you’ll get to see not just which establishments have Wi-Fi but also their business hours, network names, and what kind of place it is. But a business will need to opt in to the service on their Facebook Page for you to see them.
