On February 26th, 2017, at MWC, Samsung revealed that Galaxy S8 would be announced at 29th of March, 2017, but later it was heard that its launch was delayed to April 28, blaming low yields on 10nm processors.

Previously, Samsung has introduced its flagship with the variant “Edge”, but this time, it seems that both these models are coming with “Edged” screen with very high screen- to- body ratio.
