“You asked us if it is possible to do things on your device and challenged us to make it happen; in the process raising the bar for all smartphones,” said Nigel Adams, Head of Division – Mobile Business, Samsung Sri Lanka. “Your backgrounds and passions are different, but you all have one thing in common: you are not just dreamers, you are doers. The Galaxy Note8 is specially designed for those who want to do bigger things.”
