The Galaxy Note 8 invitation. Samsung Samsung sent out invitations Thursday for a product launch event for its next major smartphone, the Galaxy Note 8, on August 23 in New York City.

The Galaxy Note 8 will be the new version of the ill-fated Galaxy Note 7, which Samsung was forced to recall last year after several devices overheated and caused fires or started smoking.

Many Galaxy Note 8 features have already leaked out.

It's expected to look a lot like the Galaxy S8, with minimized bezels and a curved screen. It'll also have the Note series' trademark stylus and a dual-lens camera system, similar to the one on the iPhone 7 Plus.

In recent years, Samsung has released its Note phones in the summer to get ahead of the annual September iPhone announcement.

Business Insider will have all the news about the Galaxy Note 8 for you on August 23. The launch event starts at 10 a.m. Eastern.
