As previously revealed by Samsung mobile business chief Koh Dong-jin, the Korean tech giant will not unveil the upcoming Galaxy S8 smartphone during the trade show in Spain. Instead, it is said to be planning to launch the flagship smartphone in New York in March.

Although tech fans at the MWC will not be able to get hold of the much-awaited Galaxy S8, the Korean smartphone maker will likely disclose some images of the phone at the event and allow select partners get their hands on the device in a private meeting, sources said.
