Amazon has one of the best deals on the Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus right now, as a number of other sellers have ended long-running sale prices. This summer has seen a lot of price cuts for the Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus, with one of the best being $150 off, bringing the prices to $574 for a Galaxy S8 and $674 for a Galaxy S8 Plus. Samsung and Groupon offered this deal in the past, but recently stopped. Now Amazon has this deal going for the unlocked Midnight Black version of the 64GB Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus. And for the Galaxy S8, that's verging on half the price of a new Galaxy Note 8, which starts at $929, and some carriers are asking for $960 for the Note 8 price, like Verizon and Sprint. For anyone in the market for a new phone and dazzled by the Note 8 but crushed by its astronomical price tag, this Galaxy S8 deal is worth checking out.
According to Korean news site Han Kyung, Samsung is reportedly switching its battery supplier to a new Japanese manufacturer for their flagship phone, the Galaxy S8. Samsung received a major setback and criticism after the Galaxy Note 7 phone had to be recalled two times, due to the explosions caused by the battery. Samsung has since then determined that the batteries were the cause of the issue and has since opted for new testing on batteries before applying them as safe for the phone.
Geek.com wrote before bout how you could identify a Galaxy Note 7 that wasn’t going to burst into flames. However the “safe” Galaxy Note 7s that Samsung has been handed out might not actually be any safer. Today alone a Southwest Airlines flight had to be evacuated when a person's Galaxy 7 started warming up in his pocket. The label on Green’s Note 7 box had a black square, and Samsung said that mark = a safe device. However that turned out not to be true and all consumers should be aware .
Even though the iphone is hot in the news right now, the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 still appears to have a lot a heat building up to its release. The Note 8 is the most-pre-ordered entry in the Note family. This is a slight shock to the company, due to the fact that the last phone they released had battery issues, and many customers were unhappy and did not want a samsung phone any more. The phone hits store shelves in the US and UK this Friday, September 15.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is set to launch on August 23rd. It's always exciting to see what the likes of Samsung, Apple and Sony will come up with next to entice tech fans in to buying their latest and greatest flagship smartphones. But if you want to save a little money, now is also a great time to get deals on the Samsung Galaxy S8 and S7 Edge. No one knows for sure how much the Note 8 will cost - but it's sure to come at a steep price.
