In an attempt to avoid a new fiasco due to the rush to launch a new smartphone, the Samsung company decided to launch Galaxy S8 later on the market. More precisely, although many people were waiting for the terminal in stores until the middle of March 2017, it seems that it will be officially launched only in April, but a clear date was not offered.
In this idea, the presentation will not even take place during the Mobile World Congress 2017, as happened every year with the Galaxy series terminals. Postponed, the presentation will not take place in February, but only in April, probably a few weeks before the Galaxy S8 is officially launched on global markets.
The delayed launch could also bring a first for a smartphone, namely a dedicated button to access a personal assistant. I told you this morning that the Galaxy S8 will benefit from the personal assistant Viv, whose creative company was bought by the Samsung company just a few months ago.
Galaxy S8 will be released later on the market, it will have a dedicated button for Viv
Although Apple and Google emphasize the activation of Siri and Google Assistant with a simple voice command, those from Samsung want to implement a special button for this. In the iPhone we can use the Home button, but the Galaxy S8 could have another button to do this, probably separate from a system that facilitates activation by simply saying the name.
"he latest internal prototypes of the premium Galaxy S8 handset include a button on the side edge of the smartphone that would be used to launch a beefed-up virtual assistant."
Samsung claims that Viv in the Galaxy S8 will be seriously different from Siri or Google Assistant through the functions it will offer, something quite difficult to achieve. However, considering the fact that Samsung has invested several hundred million dollars in the system, the Galaxy S8 will benefit from innovative functions and will probably attract the attention of many.
