When will new Samsung Galaxy S8 come out ?

Samsung galaxy s8 release date and rumors

The Samsung Galaxy S7 was almost everything we hoped for, with improvements throughout leading it to be one of the most powerful, stylish and all round accomplished smartphones on the market. But there's still room for improvement and based on the rumors we're hearing that's exactly what we'll get from the Galaxy S8, with talk of a new AI assistant, a dual-lens camera, an upgraded screen and more.

Most Important Part

• What is it? Samsung's next flagship smartphone
• When is it out? Rumors say March 29 launch, April 21 release date 
• What will it cost? Maybe around $850 (roughly £655/AU$1120)

All About RELEASE DATE

• No MWC announcement, but maybe a video tease 
• A delay until likely late March or April
• It will be called the Galaxy S8

     Samsung typically announces new phones at the end of February, but its mobile president confirmed that the Samsung Galaxy S8 won't be announced at MWC 2017 – well, not announced in full at least.

     Instead, we'll see the new Android Nougat phone teased in a one-minute video at the event on February 26, according to a new report out of Korea. Most of the company's MWC press conference will focus on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S3.

     Expect 60 seconds a slowly rotating smartphone draped in dark shadows and have it all accompanied by booming music. Maybe even a tagline like 'The next big thing just got even bigger,' alluding to a larger display size. 

     The official launch date may happen a little more than one month later, with the newest believable leaks saying it'll be a March 29 launch event in New York that outs the new Samsung phone. The actual Galaxy S8 release date in stores is expected to be April 21. 

     Samsung's biggest phones typically go through a one month lag time between their announcement and actual shipment dates, so that part at least checks out.

      Of course, we've also heard about other possible release dates, including April 18. Either way, Samsung isn't launching its phone as soon as it usually does.

     If you have a Samsung Galaxy S6 on a two-year contract, you're going to want to hold onto it for a few more weeks instead of upgrading to the older Galaxy S7. There will be phones like the LG G6 and BlackBerry Mercury trying to tempt you away in the meantime.

     The later Samsung Galaxy S8 release date doesn't necessarily mean it's been delayed. It could be that the company wants to host a separate event or wait for the very latest specs to build the best phone possible.

     It also taking extra time to focus on what caused the Samsung Galaxy Note 7's flammable faults - an investigation which has now been completed.

     One thing we can say with some certainty though is whenever it launches, Samsung's next phone will indeed be called the Galaxy S8, as Samsung has filed an application with the USPTO to protect exactly that.

     Notice: The March 29 launch date comes from reliable leakers, and the April 21 release date makes sense since it's nearly one month later. Expect more Samsung Galaxy S8 leaks during MWC, even though it's not there for the public to see outside of a 60-second teaser video.
