Pictures of the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 leaked this week, revealing even more about the device's appearance.

The device looks like a bigger version of the Galaxy Note 2.

Samsung will unveil the new Galaxy Note 8 phablet at this year's Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain.

The Galaxy Note 8 unveiling was confirmed by South Korea's iNews24 earlier this week and it will be announced by Samsung mobile head JK Shin.

Rumored features for the device include Android 4.2, JellyBean, a 1280 x 800 display, a 5-megapixel rear camera, and a 1.3-megapixel front camera. It will also come both Wi-Fi only, and 3G.

Another picture of the Galaxy Note 8 leaked earlier this week. The image was posted by the Twitter account @clasficatearg. The specifications on the device in the picture match up to the ones that were leaked by iNews 24.

Other specifications revealed in the picture include a quad-core 1.6GHz processor, 2GB RAM, and the trademark S Pen.

DigiTimes reported on the device's price, stating that it would most likely be in between $249 and $299.

Samsung's roadmap for 2013 was leaked by TechnoBuffalo earlier this week and the Galaxy Note 8 made another appearance with the same specifications that were found in the picture. With all these sightings that appear to all match up, it is safe to say that all of this information is accurate relating to the upcoming phablet device and Galaxy enthusiasts will see it at MWC next month.

Samsung launched the original Galaxy Note in 2011 and has enjoyed much success with the device. The company followed it with the Galaxy Note 2 in 2012 and even released a 10.1-inch version of the original model. The Galaxy Note 3 is also expected to be released in 2013.
