Samsung’s flagship Galaxy S8/S8+ have been grabbing the world’s attention since they were unveiled. The all-glass body with Samsung’s Infinity Display makes for a style statement in your hands and packs in a lot of innovative features. That makes it very desirable and we are already beginning to witness that desirability.
As per reports, all the 1,50,000 Galaxy S8+ 128GB models have been sold out and there is none available for pre-order right now. Moreover, people who will be pre-ordering the Galaxy S8/S8+ will be getting deliveries probably by the end of May.
The increased demand is probably accelerated by the fact that Samsung is offering a lot of benefits with Galaxy S8/S8+ if consumers are pre-ordering the phone. Benefits are also offered by various Samsung’s partners and associated carriers as well, thus luring customers for a super sweet deal. If you are pre-ordering the phone in South Korea, Samsung will bundle the Samsung Dex docking station, a Bluetooth speaker and a year’s warranty for repairs. The Samsung Dex dock can make your Galaxy S8/S8+ into a makeshift computer with the aids of a mouse, a keyboard and a monitor. The Dex enhances the phone’s productivity, thus making it a smaller replacement for a desktop computer.
To recall, the Samsung Galaxy S8 features a 1.9GHz octa-core Samsung Exynos 8895 processor paired with 4GB of RAM. There’s 64/128GB storage on board along with 256GB expandable microSD card slot. A 12MP f1.7 dual pixel camera does the rear camera’s duty while an 8MP f1.7 auto-focus camera is there to work as the front camera. The standard S8 has a 5.8-inch 1440p sAMOLED “Infinity Display” while the S8+ has to do with a 6.2-inch 1440p version of the same. There’s Bixby on board along with Google’s Assistant to assist you in your daily life.
Samsung has reportedly sold 620,000 units of the S8 and the S8+ models in South Korea so far.
It seems as if people are unaffected by last year’s Note 7’s fiasco and are willing to go for Samsung’s flagship, regardless of other noteworthy competitors.
