The latest flagship smartphone by Samsung was released on August 23, and it was known as Galaxy Note 8. The pre-orders for the same had begun just one day later upon release. As a matter of fact, the company had announced that even though it has been released on 23rd August, the phone will only hit the shelves on September 15.
However, customers of Sprint and Verizon who had pre-ordered the smartphone, might get it much earlier than the anticipated date. This is because although the phones were supposed to get shipped two weeks from now, still many of the Sprint and Verizon customers have been notified that their Galaxy Note 8 phones are being shipped and will be delivered to them by next week.
However, it is quite unlikely that every Sprint and Verizon customer will get it earlier, as the companies might be interested in shipping to the older and committed customers.
