Samsung Electronics is planning to launch Galaxy Note 8 in the second-half of the year after the release of its next flagship Galaxy S8 in April, according to a report by Business Korea.

In a statement, the South Korean giant Samsung confirmed to stick to its Galaxy Note series despite the Note 7 disaster it experienced last year.

“The Galaxy Note 7 was very popular before user reports began circulating about devices that exploded or caught on fire while charging. As the phablet market, which was developed by Samsung Electronics, has been growing, the company will release the Note series this year again,” an official from the electronics industry stated, reported Business Korea.

Samsung is also expected to announce the results of Note 7 probe this month, explaining the root cause of Note 7 battery explosions.
