Just two weeks ago, Samsung unveiled the much anticipated duo of its latest flagship devices, the Galaxy S8 and S8+. Samsung has already started taking pre-orders for the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ in select markets from this week.
As expected, the Korean electronics giant is offering incentives to customers who get their pre-orders in before the handset is actually offered for sale at end of this month.
After the Note 7 fiasco, Samsung is hoping to get back on track with Galaxy S8 and S8+. According to official sources the pre-orders are almost double than the S7 and S7 Edge, showing that customers are still interested in this brand.
Samsung is offering free VR headsets, Bluetooth speakers and other goodies for pre-orders in some markets, however in Pakistan the company will be giving cash vouchers worth Rs. 6,000 to those who pre-book their phone.
