Samsung to Produce 12.5m Galaxy S8 Variants By The End of April
With the announcement and launch of the Samsung Galaxy S8 coming on March 29th, at the current rate of leaks, there will be little mystery left on new flagship from the Korean manufacture. It seems daily there are leaked images, leaked component details and other tidbits. But one interesting report has come from ETNews in Korea about the production levels of the new Galaxy S8 and S8+. From the report, it is expected that Samsung will be producing in the neighborhood of 12.5m units in March and April to meet the expected demands when the phone goes on sale and pre-orders are filled at the end of April. To put that into perspective, Samsung sold 10m units for the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge last year with 20 days of release. Samsung, it seems, wants to be prepared.
Breaking it down further, the 5.8″ Galaxy S8 will be 7.1 million according to ETNews while the larger 6.2″ S8+ will have around 5.4 million in available supplies at the time of release.
