By now, most people have heard about Samsung’s revelation of the causes behind the overheating and fires of its ill-fated Note 7 handset. In what could be related news, Samsung mobile chief Koh Dong-Jin announced that the company won’t be showing an updated Galaxy S8 handset at the Mobile World Conference in Barcelona at the end of February. Reports say the replacements for the current Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge may not be offered for sale until some time in April. This development represents a departure from Samsung’s regular schedule of unveiling updated Galaxy S-series handsets at MWC.
For now, the Galaxy S8’s features and improvements are still a mystery, though faster SoCs, more system memory, and an improved camera seem like foregone conclusions.
