Currently, Samsung Electronics is boosting
production of the S7 series to temporarily fill the absence of the Note
7. But rumors abound that the company may unveil the S8 at the Consumer
Electronics Show 2017 in January and roll it out in February, which is
earlier than the company's usual launching timeline.
Samsung Electronics declined to confirm anything about the S8's early release.
Analysts
here warned that the company should not rush to launch the S8 until it
can guarantee consumers that similar problems will not occur.
"Launching
the S8 earlier than planned is the last thing that Samsung Electronics
should consider," HMC Securities analyst Noh Geun-chang said. "Making
sure that such an incident will never happen again through thorough
product quality checking is the most important thing now." He added that
the S8's launch may be postponed amid negative images of the Note 7
lingering in consumers' minds.
