Samsung‘s (NASDAQOTH: SSNLF) latest flagship product could turn things around for the company after last year’s battery-related problems dented sales. Pre-orders for the Galaxy S8 and the larger S8+ have outpaced the Galaxy S7 by a huge margin, making it the best-ever smartphone launch witnessed by the South Korean company. This puts Samsung on the way to record a huge bump in sales of the Galaxy S8 as compared to the previous generations.
