Samsung promises no supply issues for the S8 and S8 Plus

Remember how I wrote about Samsung not having enough CPU’s to cover the expected demand for the Galaxy S8 phones? Well, the company is denying any such problems. DJ Koh (awesome name), chief of Samsung Mobile, has officially stated that there will be ”no issue of supply delay” because the company is ”preparing the supply without difficulty”. The issue I wrote about two days ago was that Samsung’s factories cannot produce enough Snapdragon 835 chipsets to cover the number of S8/S8+ being made. Now we’re hearing that this will not be the case. Will ...

Unlocked Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus will be available in the US on May 9

Best Buy will be offering the unlocked versions of these phones only three weeks after the carrier versions will launch. We do not mind, but we do notice how different it is from how Samsung treated the S7 model (unlocked S7’s eventually became available, yes, but only after three months). The good news is, unlocked S8’s will be slightly cheaper than their locked versions, costing $725 and $825 respectively. The bad news is, you cannot pre-order them, at least not now, which means that you can’t get those sweet Gear Vr googles and other cool items. ...

That’s how you do it, or T-Mobile unboxes the Galaxy S8 underwater

T-Mobile is no stranger to making interesting unboxing videos. Last year, Samsung Galaxy S7’s underwater qualities were being put to the test as T-Mobile unboxed it inside a swimming pool. Neat, certainly, but there’s much room to raise the bar in. T-Mobile did exacly that, and unboxes Samsung Galaxy S8 inside the ocean. In a metal cage. Surrounded by sharks. @AskDes, T-Mobile’s product expect went to West Palm Beach, Florida, and submerged himself into a shark-filled ocean so that we can watch something cool as we watch something cool – the latter being the Galaxy ...

Samsung Galaxy S8 supplies may be limited due to chipset shortage

According to the mysterious ”industrial source” from South Korea, Samsung probably does not have enough Snapdragon 835 and Exynos 8895 chipsets to satisfy the market expectations for its upcoming Galaxy S8 and S8+ phones. This is not a very new information, since rumours about an insufficient production of S8 chipsets have been afloat for a while now, but this leak seems to be a grim confirmation of what we already expected. Hopefully Samsung factories will step up the production – otherwise, many fans may be left hanging instead of hanging on their shiny new S8 devices. ...

Samsung will not exchange a broken S7 Edge until its owner signs an NDA

Samsung can’t help but have more and more problems, can it. Long story short – on February, a man from Singapore has bought himself a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge phone. Six days after the purchase, the device overheated, becoming inoperable. When the client went to a Samsung store to get his phone exchanged – and, mind you, S7 Edge’s warranty covers such cases – he received what was essentially an ultimatum; Samsung would have him either sign a non-disclosure agreement, which would deny him the right to publicly complain about the company and its products, or his ...
