Coral Blue Galaxy S8 rumored to launch tomorrow

Samsung has announced it will add an exclusive color to its Samsung Galaxy lineup.

From tomorrow, Galaxy fans will be able to purchase a Coral Blue variant of the smartphone. The new color, which is rumored to be exclusive to Best Buy, will join the Orchid Gray, Midnight Black, and Artic Silver colors which have been available since launch.

DroidLife exclusively reported that the new color would be made available in Best Buy stores tomorrow (July 14) and that it would be available on all major US carriers, including AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, and Sprint. The Blue phone, which will be available in both the standard Galaxy S8 and the S8 Plus models, will also be available to purchase unlocked.

The report confirmed that Best Buy will run an exclusive sale on the Galaxy S8, taking up to $250 off the retail price of Samsung’s flagship phone. This promotion is said to include a $150 discount, and then a $100 debate when another device is traded in.
