Samsung has launched its much-awaited new smartphone, the Galaxy S8. The device was introduced during a media event Wednesday in New York. The launch came after Samsung was forced to recall millions of its troubled Note 7 devices last year. Samsung’s chief of mobile operations, D.J. Koh, began the event by admitting the company had faced a challenging year. One filled with valuable lessons and hard decisions. But he said the launch marked an important new beginning. Today, I’m excited to show you a new phone that extends our heritage of great innovation and stunning design. Samsung launched two versions of the new phone the Galaxy S8 (14.7 cm), and the slightly larger Galaxy S8+ (15.75 cm).
