The upcoming smartphone will be central to the company's recovery from the disaster it experienced last year with its Galaxy Note 7 phablet. When launched, the Samsung Galaxy S8 will be the safest Galaxy smartphone to date due to safety measures the company implemented. The primary goal was to avoid the same battery failures that brought down Galaxy Note 7.

Analysts are seeing bright lights on the new smartphone, may are expecting Samsung to record its best-ever quarterly profit between the months of April-June, buoyed by strong Samsung Galaxy S8 demands and a growing memory chip market.

Finally, the Korean company hopes that the Samsung Galaxy S8 will be the tool for the company's speedy recovery from last year's mobile debacle. Samsung believes that Galaxy S8 will bring new life and hopes to the already battered and wounded tech company. More importantly, the Galaxy S8 will give the company a great chance to regain its lost glory.
