Samsung expected to launch the Galaxy Note 8 in September at the earliest
Information coming from the upstream component makers in Taiwan suggests Samsung will launch the Galaxy Note 8 in September at the earliest. Korean media reports the reason Samsung is forced to release its Note series flagship much sooner due to Galaxy S8 weak sales.
Sources in the chain of supply claim the recent launch of the Galaxy Note Fan Edition (FE) in South Korea was a test that would show Samsung market's reaction to another Note series phone. Suffice to say, the test was a success, as almost all 400,000 Galaxy Note FE units were sold out soon after they hit the shelves.
With a bit more than a month until the rumored reveal of the Galaxy Note 8, Samsung is expected to sell at least 10-15 million units, the same numbers the South Korean company reported before the Note 7 fiasco.
