Samsung has a lot riding on the launch of the Galaxy Note 8.

While we don’t get to see the Galaxy Note 8 itself, the teaser showcases an S-Pen striking through various words, suggesting that the Galaxy Note 8 will feature a refresh of the S-Pen alongside the new handset.
Even Samsung’s marketing statements are driving the “go big or go home” point, stating that they believe their newest phone will help you find ways to unleash your potential.
