It's that time of year again -- that time in July where we all pretend that some Ninjas from the Hidden Leaf village sneak into Samsung headquarters in South Korea, and revealed information about one of the tech industry's most expensive, and best selling products. Totally wasn't done in order to build hype for the release of Samsung's flagship slab of gorilla glass disguised as a smartphone or anything. Definitely a "leak", just like it has been every year since the Galaxy S6, when specs and pictures of the screen were leaked under totally not suspicious circumstances.
We have some surprisingly circumstantial and totally not a PR stunt images of the curved Gorilla Glass display, courtesy of @OnLeaks on Twitter, where a man can be seen using witchcraft to simultaneously hold up three screens while barely touching the other two at all.

One of Samsung's earliest leaks was the dual-lens cameras on the back, as well as more obvious things, like the fact that both the Note 8 and Note 8+ will have CPUs based on Samsung's own Exynos 9 chip.
In a tweet from Samsung itself, they 'tease' images of the Galaxy Note 8 beneath the Exynos 9 chip. Jury is still out on whether or not showing 80% of the phone in one picture tweeted by Samsung itself qualifies as a tease, but whatever.

The rumor mill has bestowed some very detailed specs of the Galaxy Note 8 to GSMArena, including details about the enormous 3840 x 2160 pixel display.
At this point, Samsung can leak the fact that the phone is rectangular, or that the phone contains a battery you can't remove and still generate hype at this point. if the past 3 years is any indication, Samsung has more leaks than the Titanic trying to square up with an iceberg, yet the major tech news sites still treat this like it's a coincidence.
