Here's your first look at the new Samsung Galaxy Note 8

After that embarrassing misstep last year, Samsung resurrected its Galaxy Note line Wednesday with the new Galaxy Note 8.

In many ways, the Galaxy Note 8 is an incremental improvement over the Galaxy S8, which launched in April. The Note 8 has a slightly larger screen, a boost in RAM, the S Pen stylus, a dual-lens camera system, and some software tricks unique to the larger form factor.

It's a phone for those who want the best performance and features from Samsung, and Samsung promises it won't suffer the same fate as the fire-prone Galaxy Note 7.

The Note 8 will be available for pre-order on August 24. Pricing will be announced soon. It'll be in stores on September 15.

The Note 8 has a new dual-lens camera system, just like the iPhone 7 Plus.

The cameras appear to be an improvement over the iPhone. Both lenses have optical image stabilization (OIS), which reduces blur caused by movement. The dual lenses also let you use 2x optical zoom and 10x digital zoom. Both cameras shoot at 12 megapixels.

The dual lenses take two photos at once, which allows you to take portrait-style photos with blurred backgrounds called "bokeh."

You can even adjust the blur effect after you take the photo.

The Note's S Pen is back. It lets you draw on the screen or take notes.
