Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Release Date, Specs News: US Not Getting the Best Versions of the Device?
While the much-touted Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is already available for pre-order in some countries, it looks like the United States is not going to get the best versions of the device. Although various mobile operators and electronics outlets are going to sell the device in the country once it becomes available, there is talk that the best versions are going to be solely available in South Korea.
According to reports, Samsung will sell at least 700,000 units of the Galaxy Note 8 in South Korea on the first month of its availability. This may be disappointing for technology enthusiasts in America and other regions, but the move is understandable considering that Samsung is based in the Asian country.
Previously, it was confirmed that the Samsung Galaxy 8 would be available in four colors, including midnight black, maple gold, deep sea blue and orchard grey. However, the versions that will arrive in the U.S. are reportedly just the black and grey versions. U.K. and Australia will also miss out on the grey and blue versions when they become available.
