After deciding to halt the release of their new flagship Galaxy Note 7, is Samsung ready to launched a new mobile? There are many rumors that the Korean Company is planning to have their Galaxy S8 before the end of this year or early of 2017.
Galaxy S8 Release
A number of analysts have suggested that Samsung will speed up its next flagship smartphone out in a bid to overcome the fallout from the Galaxy Note 7 fiasco, as reported by the Korea Herald. Samsung typically releases its flagship Galaxy S devices at the end of the first quarter of a year - around March or April. If indeed Samsung is to release the Galaxy S8 earlier than expected, then it will be in no more than five months.
In one report, Kim Sang-Pyo, an analyst at KB Investment & Securities, said:
Smartphone demands have polarised; advanced and emerging markets, and premium and budget phones. If Samsung's flagship smartphone launch is delayed to the end of the first quarter of next year, the probability of the mobile business division could be worsened next year.
