Samsung's Galaxy S8 is a beautiful, powerful phone, but there are several indications that it could've been so much more — according to a leaked alleged prototype and reports about the S8, Samsung gave up on a dual rear camera as well as a fingerprint sensor embedded into the screen.

Now, a new concept for the (likely) upcoming Galaxy Note 8, posted by Concept Creator on YouTube, imagines the Note 8 as the perfect version of Galaxy S8 that never was. The concept model imagines a phone without all of the pesky design compromises Samsung had to make with S8.

In the video, the Galaxy Note 8 is imagined with a 6.4-inch infinity screen, a vertically positioned, dual rear camera, and an under-the-glass fingerprint sensor embedded in the screen.

Of course, the S Pen — a staple of the Galaxy Note line of devices — is included in the new concept, and the headphone jack is present as well. The phone also sports a few extras that we haven't heard in any rumor so far, like the triple speaker configuration. We can dream, right?

The best thing about this concept is that, while it looks absolutely stunning, it's not that far removed from what Samsung's next phone could actually be. In fact, it's pretty much exactly what we'd expect from the Note 8, given what we know about Samsung's development process for the S8.

Save a couple of rumors, there's no official news on the Note 8 — at this point, we don't know if it'll even exist, though Samsung did say it's not abandoning the Note brand after the Note 7 fiasco.

If the Note 8 looks anything like the one in the video above, it'll likely be worth the wait.
