Two of the best manufacturers, namely Samsung and LG are going to be primordial in terms of what devices they will release as the respective companies’ future depends on them.
Notwithstanding Samsung’s Note 7 complete failure, they have to make the S8 a great success in order to make up for their goof. Not only will this re-shape the image of Samsung but it will also increase their profits by a large margin. The same principle applies to LG as they haven’t met their sales target the previous year. We are going to compare the two trying to find which one is best.
