Samsung is planning to release the Galaxy S8 next year. It is believed to be the company's flagship, but can it deliver?
According to a written article at Tech Crunch, the Korean tech giant, Samsung is moving on from its extremely, prolonged and costly mistake. Though this was not a year for the company, Samsung believes that next year will be a good year for them.
Lee Kyeong-tae, Samsung's vice president, was proud to announce that a Samsung Galaxy S8 is coming. The upcoming phone is said to have a new design, a better camera and "an enhanced artificial-intelligence service." The announcement was followed early in the week after Samsung announced that the company will offer South Korea Note 7 buyers who traded their device for an s7, the ability to trade up for an s8 or note 8 when the devices launch.
Can The Samsung Galaxy S8 Deliver?
It believed that Samsun is making major improvements with the specs and features for the Galaxy S8. So it is expected to be a great phone to have.
What About The Profit?
Critics believe that Samsung may have to lower the price of the Galaxy S8. Even with the swap trade program that they have launched, it will be not enough for people to be convinced to buy the Galaxy S8. Samsung must really win back its credibility.
It is also believed that Apple will most likely launch its iPhone 8 next year. Though there is still no specific date when will Apple launch its iPhone 8, tech enthusiasts believes that it will likely be released at the same month with Samsung's Galaxy 8.
The Galaxy S8 Price Tag Dilemma
It will be too late. With so many phone manufacturer companies releasing phones every month, it is unlikely that the public will buy an expensive Galaxy S8 knowing how dangerous it predecessors used to be. Only the most devoted fans will be the ones to purchase it.
