The South Korean smartphone giant is also planning a nationwide hands-on event right after the phone's unveiling in New York and London on March 29. The Investor's sources predict that the Galaxy S8 and the Galaxy S8 Plus would sell more than the Galaxy Note 7 during the preorder period. Samsung had managed to sell around 400,000 units of the Galaxy Note 7 during the preorder period, but the company had suffered an operating loss of $6.26 billion due to the battery fiasco.
Samsung is expected to make an all-out effort to make up for the losses it suffered due the Galaxy Note 7 ahead of the September 2017 release of the Apple iPhone 8. The Galaxy S8 and the Galaxy S8 Plus are expected to feature 5.7-inch and 6.2-inch curved Super AMOLED displays, respectively. Samsung will also debut its AI assistant Bixby, which was announced yesterday, with the upcoming smartphones.
