With all the drama surrounding the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 you might think Samsung would bring the launch of the Galaxy S8 forward, but apparently that’s not happening, with the latest rumor suggesting an announcement on February 26.
That’s the day before MWC 2017 starts and is a very believable date, as Samsung launched the Galaxy S7 the day before MWC 2016.
It also comes from a somewhat reputable source. @Ricciolo1 tweeted the news and while they’re not as prolific as some leakers, they accurately predicted the Galaxy S7 and Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge launch date.
According to the tweeter, this date is confirmed, and it’s the date we were predicting anyway, so you can probably safely put it in your calendar. However, with the Note 7 disaster still playing out, everything could be subject to change.

We’ve also heard a lot of rumors about the specs and features of the S8, including the possibility of a dual-lens camera, which is now looking more likely, as two new trademark registrations, spotted by galaxyclub.nl, describe a ‘LightUp Camera’ and ‘Light+ Camera’, designed to enhance the brightness and clearness of images taken in low-light environments.
Secondary sensors are often included to capture more light, so there’s a good chance that these registrations are for a secondary sensor, and while the Galaxy S8 isn’t mentioned, use with smartphones and tablets is, so Samsung’s next flagship is a prime candidate.

i hope so. . . .
Pressure on Samsung after the Note 7 battery saga might bring the release of the S8 models earlier than we are told,Samsung should not tried to bring out the Note 7 early just because of Apple going to announce there new phones,Will the Battery saga make Samsung bring back the Removable Battery Option on the Future Premium phones?
Release a Note 7 Plus (Fixed!). Don't release an S8 earlier, which would just anger those who bought the S7.
I meant don't release an S7 replacement now.
The s7 came out a month earlier than the s6, but nobody cared.
By the time Samsung announces the S8, this whole fiasco with the Note 7 will have died down at least.
It might be worth doing a search for 'Galaxy Note 7 battery fire hoax', and you will realise just how fake it all is. You'll see a cat face on the left side of the damaged blue version. Hopefully you will realise that phones can't burn to form a cat face.
They will have a pressure sensitive screen in the s8. So you can use it as a land mine.
