Samsung Galaxy J8 to get released on July 28 in India


While Samsung did surprise everyone by making the Galaxy J8 official at the Galaxy A6/A6+ event in India last month, it did not declare a release schedule for the handset. Well, it looks like the company has made it official. The Galaxy J8 (2018) is coming on June 28 in India. It’s going to be one of the first markets where the downgraded Galaxy A6+ is getting released. Other countries that will follow suit are the UAE and Nepal.

The official announcement happened on Twitter after official firmware of the Galaxy J8 was spotted to be live on Sammy’s website. The official firmware did give the news away but shortly after, Samsung revealed the release date as well. Now that the release date is declared, we’re assuming sales will start earlier than previously thought in June or early July itself. We can also look forward to a launch in other markets other than those mentioned here in the coming weeks.
