The unprecedented response generated by Galaxy S8 and S8+ has set Samsung’s sales soaring. At the same time, it has caused worries for the Korean giant as demand is over-powering the present rate of supply leading industry watchers to surmise that the shipments of the flagship smartphones may face a delay.

The Investor quoted an official from a local mobile carrier as saying:

The registration is being delayed as some of the preorder customers did not receive their top-of-the-line 6GB RAM Galaxy S8 Plus smartphones with 128GB of memory.

Samsung opened pre-orders for Galaxy S8 and S8+ from April 7th to April 17th. During this period the pre-orders crossed the 1 million mark, registering a new record for Samsung’s smartphones. On the first day of preliminary release on April 18th, around 260,000 units of Galaxy S8 and S8+ smartphones were registered with the country’s three mobile carriers which fell to around 60,000 units on April 19th.
