The new policy switching to the new notes suddenly made millions of Indian people queue at banks to change money yesterday. Earlier on November 8, the Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, suddenly announced a measure to ban the old banknotes 1,000 and 500 rupees. So why is there such an event in India?

A measures to fight the “black money” leads to Indian banks chaos

Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, has suddenly announced that the banknotes of 500 and 1,000 rupees of this country are no longer legally valid. This decision has been official since 12AM on November 9. This movement is to fight the corruption and tax evasion in India. These two kind of banknotes account for about 80% of the national banknotes in this Asian country, equivalent to 23 billion rupees.
The Indians still have more than one month from now till December 30 to deposit or exchange the notes before all of them at the bank or post office become worthless. The Minister of Finance, Arun Jaitley told people not to have to rush in this early days because they still had a lot of time. On the other hand, some banks ran out of cash. Some others had to ask the police to control the flow of people waiting in long queues outside the banks, which made Indian brand chaos around India, especially in Delhi.

Most of the banks had to close on Wednesday to import the new banknotes. The amount of cash withdrawn from ATMs is also limited. This surprising policy from government is aimed at corrupt officer. However, many people with low incomes, small businesses and normal citizens having saving money have been badly hit.

How many “black money” is in circulation?

We do not know the true amount of black money in circulation, but reporters said the matter “black money”. The money earned through corruption or tax  is a problem. The Indian government hopes to excrete those for tax evasion and tax amounts. There are rumors that state agencies is urgently conducting tax examination in many regions across India.

Recently, Evan Blass – an expert, posted to his Twitter a very interesting news. Samsung is developing a new product code-named SM-N950. This just might be the Galaxy Note of the new generation called Galaxy S8.

Galaxy S8: a successor of the Galaxy S7

Previously, Samsung also has indirectly confirmed the existence of the Galaxy Note 8. When the customers in Korea returned their handsets, they would receive incentives to upgrade to Galaxy Note 8 later.  Also in the post, we spotted a code name SM-N950. If you are familiar with the way Samsung name their handset, you will know that it refers to the Note 8. This proves that the company is proceeding to implement their plan with the new flagship.

After the debut of the Galaxy S6 and S6 edge in 2015, Samsung continued to launch two versions of the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge in 2016. Thus, there will be no surprise if they launch the S8 and S8 edge in the next year. As in the post, Even Blass also revealed about the two versions called Galaxy S8, that is SM – G950 (Galaxy S8) and SM – G955 (Galaxy Edge S8). Thus, Samsung will skip the model named SM-G94x and SM-N94x. To explain for this reason, it might be the spiritual factors because some Asian countries think that number 4 is not a lucky number. And as you can see, they had a hard year involving many explosion incidents.

According to some latest information, S8 and S8 Galaxy Edge will own a 5.8-inch screen and a 6.2 inch screen respectively. Thanks to  borderless technology, Galaxy S8 promises to feature an equal size as the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge today. With its large screen size, Samsung hopes to attract a large number of users from Galaxy Note7, which was dead last month.
