Pre-orders for Samsung Electronics Co Ltd’s flagship Galaxy S8 smartphone have exceeded those of the S7, mobile business chief Koh Dong-jin said on Thursday.
The Galaxy S8, which begin sales in South Korea, the U. S. and Canada on April 21st, will be central to the South Korean firm’s recovery from the swift withdrawal of the Galaxy Note 7 phablet.
The new device has been well-received, and some investors and analysts said it could set a first-year sales record for the smartphone giant.
“It’s still a bit early, but initial response to the pre-orders that have begun at various places across the world have been better than expected,” Koh said at a media briefing.
