The Galaxy Note 8 is expected to be unveiled at a Samsung launch event which is scheduled for Aug. 23.  A new report indicates the device may become available for preorder soon after it is announced.

Ausdroid a Romanian tech blog shared documents, which originally came from a Samsung webpage containing detailed logistics of a Galaxy Note 8 promotion to be hosted in Australia.

According to the leaked document the promotion will begin Aug. 25 and end Oct. 31.  There has been no scheduled date for the release to market but rumors suggest it will be available to consumers between September and October.

It is possible the Galaxy Note 8 may not hit stores for close to one month after being unveiled.
