Delayed Release Date

Delayed Release Date

In closing, we do have some bad news to go along with all of the exciting specs and information we've just shared. 

That being a potential delay in the release date. Multiple outlets believe Samsung will delay the release by over a month. An old report from Bloomberg suggests Samsung may push the release back to April, in an effort to offer more strict safety testing. That has since been confirmed by Samsung themselves. Between a new 8-point battery inspection system and securing all the processors for a global launch, the phone won't be ready until around April 28th.  

Samsung Unpacked for the Galaxy S8 and S8+ will be March 29th, pre-orders will go live a few weeks later, and it should be available around April 21-28th. It will come in Black, Silver and Gold.

      Agreed. I loved the Note 5 and was sad I had to return the excellent Note 7. If the new Galaxy S8 indeed has a 5.7 and 6.2-inch display in the same physical size as this year I’ll be impressed and happy.

      I’ll be getting the Galaxy S8 Plus immediately. And love it.

    The cell phone war is exciting. Makes for better phones for everyone.

      Yup. The Samsung and Apple war will be extremely interesting in 2017. Samsung’s bigger bezel-free displays and a new fingerprint scanner. And it will be exciting to see whether or not Apple goes AMOLED, or if that’s being pushed to 2018. Either way, next year will be a big year for Samsung. I can almost guarantee it.

    I will be getting a Samsung for life. A fiasco only makes you stronger.

    To me the big thing is internal memory, because that directly impacts how many apps you can download. The thought of 64Gb memory is tantalizing. Also looking forward to the better camera. I hear the S7 camera is great (I have an S5 right now).

    The thing I hate, have always hated about all the phones is the OS overlay they each develop. Not really a fan of Touch Wiz, the bloatware, and the apps I can’t uninstall. If the S8 doesn’t come out with ringing endorsements, once it is released, I’ll be looking seriously at the Pixel.

    The Note 7 was my first note and I loved it. Will definitely be lining up for the Note 8.

    I have always loved the Samsung Smartphones, the S series in particular. I am not an I-Phone fan. Almost everyone I know that has one, the screen is cracked. I try my best not to drop my phone but if I do I know that my current Samsung S-5 will not crack under pressure. As far as features, I love Samsung’s products and I was going to upgrade to the Note 7 but the recall happened before I could. I am confident that the S8 and Note 8 will be just as phenomenal as their previous products despite the Note 7 fiasco. I will be to a Note 8 or S8 and I am confident that Samsung will rise to the occasion. Happy Phoning!!!

    I truly hope they do the plus version with 6 or 6.2″ display. I don´t like the 5.5″ display of the otherwise fantastic galaxy S7, it is a bit small for me and for a lot of people. For some reason, phones with screens larger than 5.7″ are very rare in the US, I hope during 2017 we get more options in that area

    Competition is good. The consumer really wins in the end. We get the best product that tech and make at the time. It forces innovation for the next big thing. Look at how the iphone changed the world of communication since June 2007.

    If the rumors are true this phones seems very nice. It looks fantastic. To answer you question of ” Will you still buy a Samsung smartphone following the Note 7 recall? ”
    YES!
