Next week, Samsung is set to unveil the latest addition to the popular, oversized Galaxy Note series of phones . Given that the Galaxy Note 7  suffered a total recall last year, after several of the handsets caught fire due to two separate design flaws, the Galaxy Note 8 is a long-awaited update from Samsung.

A few weeks ago, Samsung sent out media invites to an upcoming Unpacked event in New York City, complete with a teaser image showing the silhouette of a Galaxy S8-shaped device with an S Pen in tow. Here's how you can watch the Galaxy Note 8 Unpacked event live tomorrow.
