Like many other smartphone manufacturers, Samsung too has an MWC event scheduled on February 26. While it’s not going to unveil the Galaxy S8 during MWC, it’s now said to unveil the launch date instead.

Having said that, we think that the launch date will indeed be March 29 with the device going on sale in April. The Galaxy S8 is said to be powered by Snapdragon 835 which will be coupled with 4 GB RAM and 64 GB internal storage.
