Korean media reports had revealed several weeks ago that Samsung was going to launch a new color option for the Galaxy S8 called Burgundy Red. The company has timed this color’s release with the fall as well as the launch of Apple’s new iPhones in its home country of South Korea. The Burgundy Red Galaxy S8 is now available in South Korea and Samsung has said that it’s going to release the handset in other markets soon as well.
This is the sixth color option that Samsung has introduced for this year’s flagship smartphone. It’s already available in Midnight Black, Coral Blue, Orchid Gray, Arctic Silver, and Maple Gold colors.
Nothing else has been changed so it’s still the same Galaxy S8 that millions of people across the globe know and love. Samsung says that the “luxurious hue” of this new color option accentuates the Galaxy S8’s striking design and that it’s going to appeal to a wide range of tastes.
Samsung confirmed that customers in South Korea will be able to purchase the Burgundy Red Galaxy S8 starting today. It has also confirmed that this color option will be available in “select markets” soon. The company says that availability details for every specific market will be announced by its carrier partners and retail offices for that particular market.
