As we count down the days to Samsung’s Unpacked event in New York on Wednesday, March 29, news, speculations, and rumors about the South Korean giant’s latest flagship phone and what should fans expect at the event are in overdrive.
According to BGR, there is a possibility that Samsung would be offering something that no one has seen before: unconditional refunds after up to three months of use. While it’s a bold marketing move for Samsung, the tech site said the move might discourage brand loyalty, as there might be more flagship phone releases from other companies that might eclipse the Galaxy S8’s specs.
“An unconditional money-back guarantee may convince some buyers to ditch the Galaxy S8 and go for something else. Not to mention that, if you buy a Galaxy S8 this summer with this money-back guarantee, you’d be able to switch to the iPhone 8 in fall without taking any losses on the Galaxy S8,” Chris Smith for BGR said.
Samsung will reportedly extend the goodwill to fans who purchase it via retailers but offering a GBP40 discount on Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge, Express UK said.
At the event itself, fans can choose the standard version at 5.8-inch Quad HD Super AMOLED display or the S8 Plus, which has a larger display at 6.2 inches. The units will be notoriously slimmer too at 131.58mm x 68.05mm, while the S8 will be 159.53mm x 73.37mm. They will also be no home button, feature a bezel-less design, equipped with Samsung’s new AI assistant called Bixby, and might have iris scanning and fingerprint sensor security, DeX dock, among other things.
