Samsung sounds right Note 8 in wary launch of latest wares
Singapore
WHEN is it not enough for a mobile phone to be good? In the case of Samsung's Galaxy Note 8, it's when its predecessor caught fire and exploded, and when it's unveiled mere weeks before Apple is expected to launch the next iPhone.
This isn't fair to the Note 8, which was launched internationally on Wednesday, and will go on sale here on Sept 15 for S$1,398 without a contract. It's just as well then that phones don't have feelings. Samsung's customers, however, do.
