Galaxy Note 8.0 touted on Samsung stand prior to MWC 2013 launch

Galaxy Note 8.0 touted on Samsung stand prior to MWC 2013 launch

And there goes the last bit of curiosity... (credit: Engadget)

Not that this will be a surprise to most readers, but it now seems absolutely certain that Samsung's long-rumoured Galaxy Note 8.0 will be officially unveiled in a couple of days at Mobile World Congress.

An anonymous tipster, presumably part of the set-up crew in Barcelona, snapped a picture of the Samsung stand and there, lo and behold, is the Galaxy Note 8.0 featured on the big screen.

Naturally, the device looks absolutely gigantic, but it seems Samsung is still intent on us using it in portrait mode with one-hand, although that could be a bit of a stretch for anyone who's not named LeBron James.

The latest leak comes just a week after the Note 8.0 was accidentally revealed at a Samsung event in South Korea.

Top billing

Speculation has suggested that the new, iPad mini-bothering member of the Note family will pack a 1280 x 800 Super Clear LCD display, Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, a 1.6GHz quad-core processor and 16GB RAM.

The placement of the Galaxy Note 8.0 promotional screen, in the centre of the Samsung stand, suggests that it'll probably be the Korean giant's top announcement at MWC 2013.

We already know that the Samsung Galaxy S4 won't be making an appearance at the event this year, with latest speculation suggesting it will arrive at a dedicated event on March 14.
