Samsung to Suppliers: "Don't talk about the S8!" (They did anyway)

2016-10-22
whatever you do do not look at the Android Authority logo on my sweater don't do it I know pretty stupid me telling you not to do it actually made you do it but that's exactly what Sammy did when they told their employees and suppliers explicitly do not say a single word about the Galaxy s8 of course someone did and we found out what it was Samsung has warned employees not to discuss business operations especially those related to the Galaxy S 8 according to a report from the Korea Herald in an all internal email sent to employees Samsung spoke of quote irreversible ramifications and quote great financial risk if such comments were to be made public setting an anonymous source the Korea Herald also said that Samsung has told its suppliers not to mention a single word of the galaxy s 8 of course someone did a Samsung supplier is claiming that Samsung is planning to implement a dual lens camera and an iris scanner on the samsung galaxy s 8 which is expected to be unveiled in February 2017 and for those of you keeping score you remember that last week we talked about a rumour that stated that Samsung may be removing the iconic home button altogether sources told ichi news that samsung wants to ditch the iconic home button it's not clear what the alternative solution would be the home button incorporates the fingerprint sensor so samsung will need to come up with a way to embed the sensor in or under the screen glass or otherwise come up with some other solution now if this is real this is a curious approach because now more than ever samsung needs leaks and rumors regarding the s8 you see there are PR teams and communication teams out there hired by companies like Samsung whose job it is to manage the press people like me they want to give us certain leaks and rumors certain images over certain periods of time to lengthen out the press coverage that their product gets it's free publicity and it's fantastic this is how this whole new digital media thing works so if they want no leaks and rumors whatsoever I called a little bit of nonsense you'll remember when Tim Cook of Apple said that they were gonna double down on secrecy and then we just got like triple the amount of leaks and rumors regarding the iPhone that was back on the iPhone 6 original so I don't know what do you think let me know in the comments below I suspect that we're gonna see lots of leaks and rumors in the months to come
