(Web Desk) – Samsung is likely to push global release of its S8 and S8+ by a week, a noted mobile phone blogger Evan Blass reported on Monday.
S8 and S8+, the duo is to be unveiled on March 29 and was initially set for worldwide release on April 21. According to Blass’s sources, the South Korean giant will now be releasing the mobile phones on April 28.
Evan Blass stated in his blog: "Samsung plans on revealing two handsets on the 29th: the 5.8-inch Galaxy S8 and 6.2-inch Galaxy S8+. Besides the size difference, both devices are identical, from the expansive QHD+ SuperAMOLED display with 18.5:9 aspect ratio, to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chipset, to the Bixby digital assistant triggered by a dedicated hardware button."
Reportedly, the duo has 4GB RAM, 64GB of inbuilt memory and microSD card support.
This is going to be the first release of a Samsung handset after Note 7s were called back from multiple countries owing to faulty batteries as hundreds of fire incidents were reported.

Many techies held rushed release of Note 7 a reason for the disaster.
"No particular reason was given for the updated schedule, although Samsung is known to be proceeding particularly cautiously with this launch, following a rushed Galaxy Note7 debut last year that ended in disaster," he stated.
However, the unveiling ceremony in New York City is scheduled on March 29 without any revision of date. Samsung is also set to launch new VR head gear, compatible with the handsets.
According to a report, LG could benefit off a week s delay of Samsung as it is set to release it G6 smartphone in early April days.
LG introduced G6; 5.7-inch QHD+ FullVision display with Snapdragon 821 processor, in Barcelona earlier this year.
However, by April 28 Samsung will be launching at least 12.5 million units of S8 and S8+.
