Samsung Friday launched its new flagship devices, Samsung Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+, seeking to woo premium users in the country’s fast-growing smartphone market.

The launch of the high-end devices comes in the wake of last year’s disastrous recall of the Galaxy Note 7 following reports of its battery catching fire, with the firm introducing new cutting edge features to rival competitors.
