Concept designs for the new Samsung Galaxy Note 8 are creating excitement for the upcoming launch of the device this second half of 2017. The tech giant promises the new Note 8 to be clear of battery issues and safety concerns.

Samsung recently launched the new Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ which are turning out to be big hits in the smartphone market. The company will soon release their new Galaxy Note 8, and what better way to create hype around it than by releasing the gadget's new concept designs.

The man behind the design is graphic designer Mushin M. Belaal Auckburaully, who partnered with YouTube channel DBS Designing to create a series of designs for the Galaxy Note 8.

The series of designs can be found on Auckburaully's website, and the images are capturing the attention of many. The images that are featured in the concept design of the upcoming Galaxy Note 8 capture nature at its most beautiful form, with some of them featuring a remote beach location and the view from outer space.

Based on the concept designs, the anticipated features of the new Galaxy Note 8 are a 6.4-inch QHD+ display, a screen-to-body ratio, 6 GB of random access memory (RAM), 64 GB to 128 GB of storage, a microSDXC slot, a new dual-lens rear camera, an iris scanner, and a 4,000mAh battery.

Worries about exploding batteries still plague the company's new smartphone devices. However, Trusted Reviews confirms that Samsung Mobile chief DJ Koh assured their loyal customers that the Galaxy Note 8 will be "safer and very innovative."

Even though Samsung has yet to announce their launch date for Galaxy Note 8, Value Walk notes that the new phablet might be launched at the Internationale Funkausstellung Berlin (IFA) Trade Show this coming September.

Samsung is anticipated to launch the new Galaxy Note 8 before the end of 2017.
