To recall, Samsung launched both the flagship phones at an Unpacked event in New York on March 29 and started taking preorders in some countries such as South Korea. Yesterday, Samsung announced that they had received an excess of 7,20,000 preorders only in South Korea, surpassing the previous record of 4,00,000 preorders set by Galaxy Note 7. Both the phones will be up for sale in South Korea, the US, and some European countries from April 21.

Samsung will announce the Indian availability and pricing details on April 19. It might also start taking preorders from other e-commerce sites from the same day itself. No one expected the demand for Galaxy S8 and S8+ especially after the Galaxy Note 7 debacle, but for everyone’ surprise, the phones have already got record preorders, and the same might continue in India as well.

Speaking about the specifications of the phones, the Galaxy S8 and S8+ are only differentiated in terms of display and battery capacity. The Galaxy S8 sports a 5.8-inch display, whereas the S8+ comes with a 6.2-inch display. Both the phones come with QHD+ resolution. The major highlight of the phones is the ‘infinity display’ feature. Though the Galaxy S8 and S8+ feature bigger screens; the overall footprint of the phones is equal to the current generation 5.2-inch and 5.5-inch display phones.
