Samsung has been focusing on launching strong devices and getting back in shape before they unveil the Samsung Galaxy S8 – the success of which can effectively make or break Samsung after their Samsung Galaxy Note 7 debacle. While Samsung has not stopped launching devices after the failure of Samsung Galaxy Note 7, in the recent past, their number of launches have definitely reduced and the focus is now on launching that one strong new flagship to tackle the failure of the Note 7. Rumours have also suggested that Samsung will be launching just one flagship a year henceforth instead of multiple and that the launch of Samsung Galaxy S8 has been considerably delayed.But then, with the launch of the three A series smartphones, Samsung plans to begin the year with a blast and continue their series, without any hesitation. It will be one of the most major Samsung launches of the year and the expectations from the smartphones are high.
