Samsung: There is no Microsoft Edition of the Galaxy S8 or Galaxy Note 8

Last updated: December 1st, 2017 at 13:56 UTC+01:00

Just a day subsequently the Milky way S8 and Galaxy S8+ were unveiled, it was revealed that Microsoft would be selling the ii devices in its retail stores in the Us with the Microsoft Edition tag. This was followed by the Galaxy Note 8 recently, which also became available for buy from Microsoft'due south store. A Microsoft Edition e'er felt unnecessary as Galaxy flagships come up with some of the Redmond giant'south apps preloaded even on regular variants, and the visitor makes the rest of its apps available on Google Play. And, co-ordinate to Samsung, in that location actually isn't a Microsoft Edition per se.

Regular Galaxy S8/Annotation 8 served with tips on using Microsoft apps

Then what are the Galaxy S8, Galaxy S8+, and Milky way Note 8 that are listed in Windows Phone maker's itemize? Well, now that we await closely at the phone listings, they don't actually come with apps like Microsoft Launcher and Cortana loaded out of the box, with the product description mentioning clearly that these apps have to be downloaded from the Play Store. As the original announcement had said, anyone who walks into the visitor's brick and mortar stores and purchases either of these phones is then guided by a store employee on making the most of the Microsoft apps.

Hither'southward Samsung'south official statement:

Samsung Galaxy S8, Milky way S8+, and Galaxy Note8 devices are bachelor in the Microsoft online and retail stores with a unique Microsoft experience which ensures their customers, particularly small-to-midsize business owners and entrepreneurs, a all-time-in-class productivity experience. In that location is not a 'Microsoft Edition' brand of any Samsung Galaxy products.

So, um, we guess Samsung'south only making it clear that there is no such thing as a Microsoft Edition, even if Microsoft wants people to walk out of their stores (or checkout, for those who purchase these online) with the intent of putting its apps to good use. What makes this rebuttal unique is that it comes a long time afterwards the so-chosen Microsoft Edition Galaxy S8 and Milky way S8+ went on sale. Our guess would exist that Samsung only got busy with other things and was woken up when news of the Milky way Note 8 Microsoft Edition started making the rounds.

In any case, betoken taken.
