Samsung may not be able to churn out enough chipsets for the Galaxy S8

28 March 2017
This means the flagship smartphone could be hard to find in some markets.

I'm going to be waiting in line for the S8+ (if I can hold it comfortably) but I had the Note 7 and having to give it up was way more devastating to me than the battery issue. I loved that phone, but time moves on and I won't bother with a lower battery power refurb

    Well, in fact, that is just the absolute minimum.

            Anonymous, 29 Mar 2017Samsung recall Note 7, replace for user, but that replaceme... moreThey didn't market though. Also it took them so long since more than 2 million devices were sold and many customers held onto it with some illusionary hope of getting s8 for free once it launched in exchange of note 7

              I am going for Nokia. Nevermind the mid range specs.
              Stock android with updates. That seal the deal.

                This is called creating demand through perspective of short supply. Thats how the price hike will go unnoticed. Cant believe all the news sites are playing along.

                  Savor, 28 Mar 2017Just like expecting a blow up/grenade/bomb unpunny comments... moreSamsung recall Note 7, replace for user, but that replacement also blow up. That worries the general public.

                  Plus it took them soo long to kill the remaining existing Note7.. (marketing a defective product for soo long)

                  Thats why it spawn so much hate and explosions in news. Samsung only care about "being the top, proud, without considering others or being humble abit", Sorry to say the same is also true about its fanboys.

                    How much would you bet, that Samsung tomorrow is going to name there new phones the S8 and S8+ Dream one and Dream two?

                      I doubt that. Not enough they said. Then they sold millions of it in just a month. They sold soooo many up to the point how hard it is to recall them all back. They probably gonna delay it in some markets. Rushing chipset production is the last thing they need. You dont want customer complaining the chipset not performing good enough or overheating.

                            Sounds like what another company does every year.

                              hahahahhaa.. lousy 1980's marketing strategy. They have got to realize that most part of the world are smart now, 3rd world countries are getting very less for marketing tricks. Yeah, including the very very left outs. It would be funny, when nobody buys this stuff for a good 6 months to 1 year to teach them and the rest a lesson of pricing cellphone products. Its getting ridiculous. Apple is the mother of them all and followed by Samsung, Sony Etc. Unless they can do a drone trick perhaps, which means they can fly. nothing is worth more than Euro 699

                                        A stupid excuse to justify the 1000 $ price. Nobody is rushed to throw 1000 $, so make it slow an easy, liars. Will be a few stupid fans wich will buy S8 in the first 2 month, and will create the sensation of a very wanted product and hard to find, but after 3-4 month sales will go down and S8 will be available everywhere. Just be patient and wait 6 month.
