Highly-anticipated smartphones
The upcoming releases of Samsung Galaxy S8, Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus and LG G6 are most anticipated for understandable reasons. As per Samsung, its next flagship devices would be one of its significant responses now after the infamous debacle of its problematic Samsung Galaxy Note 7. This is its chance to prove once again why its company has been heralding the smartphone brands for years now.
On the other hand, LG's LG G6 is getting its own sound bite as the smartphone is the firm's another chance to highlight its flagship device. This comes after the lukewarm reception of LG G5 that was initially thought to sell well at the time of its release.
