Samsung that will unveil this Wednesday its Galaxy S8 hopes to turn the page of the humiliating planetary reminder of the previous version of the smartphone.
The world's leading manufacturer of smartphones Samsung will unveil its latest flagship Galaxy S8 on Wednesday (March 29th) in New York, hoping to turn the page of the humiliating planetary reminder of the previous version of the smart phone. Samsung Electronics had been forced to stop production of the Galaxy Note 7, which was originally scheduled to compete with Apple's latest iPhone rival Apple: a chaotic reminder had seen the replacement smartphones catch fire too.
Samsung had blamed the crisis for faulty batteries and apologized to consumers. He had been forced to postpone the launch of the S8. This debacle cost the South Korean juggernaut billions of dollars in lost profits while staining its reputation and credibility at a time when the group was stuck in a vast corruption scandal.
Samsung Electronics vice-president Lee Jae-Yong, who is also the heir of the group, was placed in pretrial detention for corruption alongside four other senior executives of the company in the scandal that cost him Post to President Park Geun-Hye.
According to the American site specializing in high-tech The Verge, the launch of the Galaxy S8 represents "the greatest test ever" suffered by Samsung. "It must reaffirm its reliability while taking back the technological advantage".
"Beginning of a new era"
On his site, Samsung talks about the "beginning of a new era", without further details on the technical characteristics of the phone.
Galaxy S8 has a curved screen larger than the previous version, but has more or less the same size, according to photographs that leaked into the press. The home button on the front of the device seems to have disappeared in favor of a fingerprint scanner at the back. The smartphone would also be equipped with an iris scanner likely to allow payments.
Samsung announced last week that it would launch at the same time a new vocal assistant called "Bixby". Bixby will allow users to control applications on their phone as Siri does at Apple.
The South Korean group bought in 2016 Viv, an artificial intelligence company whose co-founders themselves took part in the creation of Siri, bought seven years ago by Apple.
