The Samsung Galaxy S8 is a regular feature of the rumor mill. Courtesy of the information that's surfaced so far, we can gather a lot of details for the device. It's going to be a big one for Samsung, as the Korean tech giant takes it slow this year. The Galaxy S8 won't be launched in March, as is the norm. Rather, Samsung will wait one more month to launch the device. Today, another report straight out of South Korea makes a similar claim. Take a look below for more details.

Samsung Will Launch The Galaxy S8 In The Week Of April 17th Claim Sources

The Galaxy S8 will bring in a new era of smartphones. It'll mark an end of the 3.5mm earphone jack, welcome virtual home buttons and say hello to 10nm. It'll also mark the end of flat screen Galaxy S flagship smartphones. As for the launch, general sentiment suggests that Samsung will wait it out this year. The Galaxy S8 won't launch at the sidelines of the MWC, with the Korean tech giant choosing the month of April this year.

To this end, a rumor surfaced a couple of weeks back which claimed that Samsung will launch the Galaxy S8 on April 18th. Now, we're hearing some more news which makes a similar claim. It originates out of Samsung's home country South Korea, so we're inclined to believe in its credibility. An anonymous source pegs the device with a launch date in the third week of April.

“Samsung Electronics has confirmed that the release schedule has been set in mid-April, possibly in the third week.” an anonymous industry source told The Investor. In addition to a safer approach with the Galaxy S8, Samsung s also rumored to have set high sales targets for the device. Industry sources quoted by the publication also believe that this move has been carried out to compensate the company for the losses incurred from the Galaxy Note 7.

If this information turns out to be true, then it's quite a while until the Galaxy S8 is launched. This, in turn gives us more time to search for leaks. While information about specifications and features has been abundant, little visual details for the device have surfaced so far. Thoughts? Let us know what you think in the comments section below.
