Can Samsung bounce back?

Samsung has finally released Galaxy S8 which has been receiving very positive reivews from everyone so far. With the disaster of the Galaxy Note 7 explosive battery, Samsung has taken a vow to make sure every handset gets repeated quality control before being put in stock.

The initial recall caused a sizeable dip in Samsung Electronics’ share price, but since then the stock has recovered, and then some. In October 2016, it opened at $1,528 per share, an all time historic high, and its third such high in 2016. So they are still going strong with both their customers and business. Fans of the Note 7 should also rejoice as Samsung said they will start selling it again as refurbished product but no release date has been given at this stage.

The Galaxy S8 has been a great perceived really so far with all the high specs in the market (5.8-inch quad-HD Infinity Display, 4GB RAM, 64GB storage, 5.8-inch screen and 12mp camera) but its pretty early to say all is perfect with the phone. Samsung takes great care in customer feedback so its safe to say that they made sure all is up and running well with their latest product.

This is just the beginning with Samsung as they have a foreseeable line of products just over the horizon with Note 8, and Galaxy tablets. Its ok for Samsung to get things wrong as they go along (Apple and iPhone 4 antenna problem anyone) but to the extent of explosive batteries could be a hard hitting issue that they need to focus in moving on from. Right now, its all about getting the right phone for the consumers and making sure that it has all the necessary features and that is the direction that Samsung feels to take.
