What we were not sure about though is when Samsung was going to launch is and how much it would cost you to get the Galaxy S8. Latest rumors, however, suggest that the phone could be launched on March 29th. If these rumors are true, then we should expect to phone to see the light of day during the Mobile World Conference 2017.
Traditionally, Samsung has always used the annual Mobile World Conference (MWC) as to announce it’s new flagship phones, so this rumors could actually be true. Although some reports have previously emerged that the company might skip MWC this year and hold its own ‘’Unpacked’’ event later in April.
Chinese ETNews, according to the Indian Express, also reports that Samsung has already started the production of 10 million initial units for the S8 to be ready by late April. Report from South Korean media also says that Samsung is targeting to produce and sell 60 million units of the Galaxy S8.
