Samsung Galaxy S8 release delayed for a second time, say reports

Samsung is set to launch the highly anticipated Galaxy S8 later this month, but new reports suggest the handset's release has been delayed. The smartphone had been expected to hit the shelves on 21 April, but it appears that Samsung has decided to push its plans back by a week. The S8 will instead hit the market on 28 April, according to VentureBeat. The reason behind the apparent delay is unknown, but the company won't want to take any chances in terms of safety or reliability following the Galaxy Note 7 disaster. Samsung itself is yet to announce an official release date for the handset, but numerous leaks over the past several weeks have all pointed at 21 April.
