Read that paragraph again folks - the "Rubber Edges" piece is referring to the S8 Active, not the Note 8! That follows the entire "Active" line - they all have rubber crash protection. I am holding an S7 Active right now!
"While customers elsewhere may be able to purchase the Galaxy S8 Active through channels such as eBay and Amazon... What are the rumored features and specifications? ...It will more than likely feature rubber protection around its edges, making it both larger and heavier than the Galaxy S8. Regarding the release date of the Samsung Galaxy Note 8, it can be said that the phablet is going to come out in the second half of the year..." He should have started a new paragraph where he says "Regarding the release date of..." that's what screws everyone up!!!
