An all but official image of the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 has "leaked," courtesy of the best leaker in the business, Evan Blass, nearly a full month before Samsung's official unveiling.
Now if you're wondering why I put quote marks around the word leak, that's because Blass almost certainly obtained the photo via an official Samsung source, probably a senior personnel in the marketing department.
Let's face it, that's how most leaks work in most industries in 2017. It's essentially a company PR (obviously a big one who can make these decisions) giving first dibs on information to an influential journalist, in an effort to drum up interest.
That's how legendary NBA inside info leaker Adrian Wojnarowski gets all his scoops. It's not because he's got some magic crystal ball or a secret spy inside NBA player's houses, it's just that he's connected to high serving members of NBA teams.
I don't know Blass personally, but I've been a journalist long enough to know these are controlled "leaks" by Samsung looking to drum up publicity.
This isn't a third party render, this is straight from Samsung. Real leaks are the terribly-taken photos in bad lighting that come out of China. To call this a leak is disingenuous, it's more like a social media publicity campaign.
