14 DAY TRIAL // Samsung’s Galaxy S8 is undoubtedly one of the most important flagships of this year, both for Samsung and the smartphone market. The phone will be launched roughly in the same period when a number of premium phones announced during MWC 2017 will hit the market.
Samsung will host its Unpacked event on March 29 in New York City and London, and the company even introduced a smartphone app in anticipation of this event. The Unpacked 2017 app is available both on Android and iOS, and it counts down the timer until the event will live stream.
Now, pictures of official Unpacked posters have made their way online and they appear to be from Korea. Judging by the date and the writing, the posters refer to the launch date in Samsung’s home country.
The posters show Samsung’s logo in the top right corner, the S logo in the middle and an outline of the edge-to-edge design of the Galaxy S8. They also mention April 2017, but don’t reveal the day.
Alleged stock wallpapers also leaked
The Galaxy S8 will be announced on March 29, while pre-orders in Korea are rumored to begin as early as April 7, although this will be confirmed only after the March 29 event. Samsung might host pre-launch events on April 18 in Korea, while the phone will be available for purchase on April 20. The Galaxy S8 will make its global debut on April 21.
That being said, Galaxy S8 stock wallpapers also leaked online, according to a report. The images have a resolution of 1440×2560 pixels, while the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ are said to feature a slightly larger display resolution. Take the images with a grain of salt, as these might not actually be the official stock wallpapers.
Nonetheless, images of the Galaxy S8 launcher and app icons surfaced online, depicting a clean and simple user interface with Samsung Experience skin for Android 7.0 Nougat.
