Have you always wanted a Samsung Galaxy S8 | S8+ but just couldn't afford it? Well, we have good news for you.

Despite record breaking pre-orders for the Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 plus, rumours are saying that due to less sales compared to the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge, the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 could get an early release on 10 September 2017. According to the rumoured numbers from South Korean The Bell, Samsung sold 9.8 million Galaxy S8 and S8 plus sets compared to the 12 million Galaxy S7 and S7 edge sets sold during the same 2 month period after launch for a 20% decrease in sales. Considering that the Galaxy S7 edge actually sold more in Malaysia this probably doesn't impact Samsung Malaysia as much as the rest of the world but an earlier global release would still mean we get the Galaxy Note 8 earlier as well.

Electronics insurer Square Trade recently revealed that the Samsung Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus are the most fragile phones they've ever tested in their breakability test video. Considering the Infinity Display glass front and back, this doesn't really come as a surprise but it really highlights the need to get a good protective case with either of the phones. The alternative is to pay about $200 (~ RM869) for repairs but this is still lower than an iPhone 7 screen replacement which is about $300 (~RM1304).
