Samsung and LG are said to be working on new Galaxy S8 and LG G6 variants. Korean media, The Investor says both companies are preparing for the launch of Apple’s iPhone 8 with their new variants.
The new Samsung Galaxy S8 variants are actually new colors. In addition to the existing ones, there will be Lake Blue, Smoked Purple Grey and Quicksand Gold for the Galaxy S8.
