Accessories sales for Note 8 up 30% over sales for accessories of Note 7

Maybe BGR. From everything I see I think this will be the best selling Note ever. Lot of demand for updates from Note 4 (like me) and Note 5 who did not get caught up in the Note 7 mess. I think a good number of Note 7 people will still want the phone.
 
I have to agree with you. I'm upgrading from Note 5, which I purchased after having to return Note 7.
 
The note 7 started off really well so I hope the note 8 can do even better. Last year I was hesitant on pre-ordering and when I finally decided to it was back ordered. This is the first time I'd ever seen a Samsung phone back ordered. This year I made sure I pre-ordered my note 8 on time to get it on release day.

I think there are a lot of people in Europe who want a note as the last note we got here was the note 4. We didn't get the note 5 and the note 7 never really made it here before things went South.
 
Yesterday at T-Mobile I met another lady, and we were both upgrading from a Note 5.

I bet there are probably some who go the two years, maybe because of the cost of phones, or think they still need to, and would upgrade with the 8.
