Several reports have confirmed that the highly-anticipated release of the Samsung S8 has been delayed.
Earlier, the South Korean electronics giant revealed that it would be initially releasing 10 million units on the market, according to unnamed sources. It was also said that the Samsung S8 production would start in March and anticipate selling the initial batch in April. A company spokesman has since refused to comment on the speculation.
However, the one thing Samsung did confirm on is the delay of the release of the next Galaxy unit. In a press briefing, Samsung mobile chief Koh Dong-jin told reporters that the company has decided to put in place procedures to avoid future incidents like the Note 7 device fires.
"The lessons of this incident are deeply reflected in our culture and process. Samsung Electronics will be working hard to regain consumer trust," he was quoted as saying.
On the other hand, investors told Reuters that the delay is a good thing, as the company needs to reassure fans that it is on top of the Note 7 fire problem.
The tech community, nonetheless, is hopeful that the Samsung S8 would be released soon. Tech Advisor said the Mobile World Congress (MWC), which happens in early spring of every year, has been favored by top brands, including Samsung, when launching the latest mobile and digital products. More specifically, fans are expecting the company to release any new products during a Samsung Unpacked conference, which is a day before MWC. By then, they bank upon the hype surrounding the release and the reliable crowd at MWC by opening the sales hotline within two to four weeks before MWC.
