For most of us, smartphones are our primary productivity tool for both work and life, and Samsung has taken note — literally.

This week, Samsung unveiled its latest device, the Galaxy Note8, featuring an impressive 6.3-inch Infinity Screen, S Pen — and oh yeah, water-resistant technology.

“Our customers are telling us they’re in the rain sometimes,” said Samsung’s Kevin Gilroy during the Galaxy Note8 launch event in New York. “The Note8 is water-resistant and dust-resistant,” he continued.

The dual camera is another key feature of the Note8. “Our business customers — whether it’s an auto body shop or a car rental [location] — want the power of that [dual] camera,” Gilroy noted.
