But they did use MWC 2017 to announce when they are planning to unveil the Galaxy S8. The launch will be held in New York on March 29^th. After the disaster that was the Galaxy Note7 recall, Samsung wants to get things right this time. The S8 is rumoured to be sharing a lot of the LG G6’s features, such as slim bezels, higher screen-to-body ratio, dual-camera setup, wireless charging, and waterproof design. And to make sure the Note7 debacle doesn’t happen again, Samsung has a new, lengthier battery testing process.
