We may be laying eyes on the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 for the first time thanks to some snaps taken on what looks like a bus or train.
The pictures have been picked up by Italian site DDay, yet it fails to inform us how it got hold of them so we're not taking these images as authentic.
Update: TechRadar contacted DDay about its source and although it is an anonymous tip the site is pretty bullish about the authenticity of the snaps: "an anonymous send us the photos. I have only the photos but it cannot be a fake.
"There is the slot for S-Pen in the lower right corner, it's 8 inches and of course it's a tablet with a Galaxy S3 shape.
"I always check the source before publishing, but this time it looks real."
If they do turn out to be the real deal then the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 is set to take the design of the Galaxy Note 2 and blow it up to a proper tablet size.
Supersize me
The tablet in the pictures clearly sports the famous Samsung home key below the screen, flanked by menu and back buttons – a set up familiar to anyone who owns one of the firm's smartphones.
It's an interesting design path as usually the smaller tablets are similar in looks to their 10-inch companions – just take a look at the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 and Galaxy Tab 2 7.0.
Held up against what appears to be the 4.7-inch HTC One X, the supposed Galaxy Note 8.0 looks to be a comfortable size, although round the back the camera looks unmistakably like the one on the back of the HTC handset.
Various reports suggest the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 will be officially unveiled at MWC 2013 and TechRadar will be in attendance to bring you all the latest from the Korean firm.
