Enlarge / The Galaxy Note 7 was a financial disaster for Samsung. The Galaxy S8 will not launch at Mobile World Congress, Samsung has confirmed. With a couple of exceptions, the company has typically used the trade show—which runs from February 27 to March 2—to launch its flagship Android smartphones. The current Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge made their debut at the show in 2016. Samsung has not indicated when and where it will announce the Galaxy S8 instead, but shaky rumors from earlier this month tipped the phone for an April 15 launch in New York.
