Samsung launches Galaxy S8 and dreams of recovery from Note 7
Seoul
SAMSUNG Electronics Co Ltd unveiled its Galaxy S8 flagship smartphone as it battles to regain the market leadership it lost to Apple Inc after the embarrassing withdrawal of the fire-prone Note 7s.
Boasting some of the largest wraparound screens ever made, the long-awaited S8 is the South Korean tech giant's first new premium phone since the Note 7 debacle in October, which wiped out US$5.48 billion of profit and helped Apple overtake Samsung as the world's top smartphone maker in the fourth quarter.
