Samsung to showcase Galaxy S8 at the MWC next month

Galaxy S8‘s launch date has been in the news for the past few months. Initial reports suggested that due to to the Galaxy Note 7 disaster, Samsung may unveil their next flagship at the CES. Then this date was pushed ahead to the MWC 2017 which takes place at the end of February. A latest report out last week suggested that Samsung will unveil Galaxy 8 at a dedicated event held on 18th April in New York city. Well there is a lot riding on Galaxy S8, so the company cannot take a chance with its launch. An update out by The Investor suggests that Samsung may showcase a small batch of Galaxy S8 devices at the MWC.

Samsung is has already set an ambitious goal for its flagship as it plans to ship 60 million units. This is the highest volume shipped out in the past 3 years. By showcasing the Galaxy S8 at the MWC, the company will create a hype for the device at the show. They definitely would not want other competitors to steal their thunder. Apart from that it will also show the consumers that if they wait, what they can get after the official unveiling at the 18th April event. As a marketing gimmick this could pay off in Samsung’s favor. But then with the official release date 6 weeks later, this seems like a stretch.

We will be getting to hear more news about Samsung’s upcoming flagship. Let’s see which date does the company confirm for its official unveiling. We will keep you updated on all the details related to Galaxy S8.

Apple launching 3 iPads in the second quarter of 2017

Reports out suggest that Apple is working on launching three new iPads in the second quarter of 2017. The update comes from a very reliable analyst at KGI Securities, Mr. Ming-Chi Kuo. According to Mr. Kuo Apple at the moment is planning to unveil three new iPads by the end of April. 2017 is a very important year for Apple as they will be celebrating the tenth anniversary of iPhone. Let’s have a look at whether Apple is working on producing a stallar iPad or are they at the moment totally focused on iPhone 8.

The detailed report by Kuo suggests that the three iPad Pro models that will be released are 12.5-inch model, a 10.5 inch model and a 9.5-inch model. The first two models will have a higher price point and will be powered by the A10X chipset by TSMC. While the 9.5-inch model will be low priced in comparison with the other two and under the hood it will have the A9 chipset by Samsung.

The rest of the specs of the iPads are not yet confirmed, so we cannot say what else will these tablets have. One thing is for sure, the iPhone 8 is the star for Apple this year. It is quite easy to understand why the company is not focusing on their other products. iPad sales have dropped in the last few years and now Apple is working on producing two tablets which aim at different consumers. Like the 12.5-inch and the 10.5-inch model aims at the commercial sector, while the 9.5-inch one focuses more on regular consumers. Kuo in his report also hints that 60% of the iPad sales will be contributed by the 9.5-inch model.
