Patent for New Note Design

[LineKill]

I seriously doubt this could be the direction of the Note 8 as questioned in the article. Very interesting looking. It is not in any way in accordance to Samsung's current design language. I thought I would bring it to you guys/gals to see what your thoughts were on the design itself.

I sincerely hope that's not it. I'm down for new and exciting - that's new, but scary

No...just...no!!

Yep, you said it!

Lol I'd have to see it in person before I knock it if that actually turned out to be the note 8. I can only imagine how interesting it be with finding the right case for it.

Spitball patents, see what sticks, or just to keep someone else from doing it. That looks like more of a tablet, something you would put in a case that has a handle on it. Not for a pocket.

Let's hope it's Note 9 or 10 so we can get our Note 8 and be Happy!!!

Maybe I am misinterpreting something here, but...where's the battery? It seems like half a phone. Maybe the patent office was just doing some house cleaning and found this from 2014.

Looks more like for tablet if they are making this. The physical home button is still there
