Kuningi okucatshangelwe ukuthi kungenzeka ukuthi inkampani yaseKorea ishiye eceleni ibanga leNothi, ibanga eselibe yilo idivayisi engenakubuyiselwa endaweni yabo bonke labo basebenzisi abayizamile. Izinkinga zeNothi 7 azibenzanga bashintsha imiqondo yabo futhi sebevele babheke phambili ekufikeni kwesizukulwane sesikhombisa (beqe unombolo 6 kwinombolo yeNothi). Ithuba lokuthi abakwaSamsung balilahlile leli banga lenzelwe ezinsukwini ezimbalwa ezedlule ngenkathi sikwazisa ngamahemuhemu okuthi iNothi 8 ibisivele isendleleni. Kodwa kwakusengamahlebezi.
Ekugcineni izolo kuqinisekisiwe ukuthi i-Kumbuka 8 isendleleni futhi inezici eziningi ezintsha zokuzama ukunxephezela inkinga i-Kumbuka 7 ehlupheke ngayo, inkinga eyamenyezelwa yinkampani kungenxa yezinkinga ezimbili ezihlukene ngamabhethri, njengoba kuchaziwe izolo kulesi sihloko. UDJ Koh, uMongameli we-Mobile Communications Business Unit yakwaSamsung Electronics uziqinisekisile lezi zindaba ngenethiwekhi yezokuxhumana yaseChina iWeibo, lapho aqinisekise khona ukuthi ezinyangeni ezimbalwa sizokwazi ukujabulela imodeli entsha ye-phablet ngosiba lwe-Samsung.
Ngenhlanhla ngabakwaSamsung, nangama-akhawunti aminyaka yonke ememezele izolo, inkinga ngeNothi 7 ayikhinyabezanga imiphumela yezezimali yenkampaniEqinisweni, ukube bekungadingeki uthathe umhlalaphansi, inzuzo yakho yerekhodi ibizokhuphuka kakhulu. Isinqumo sakwaSamsung sokuqhubeka neNothi sishukunyiswa inani elikhulu labalandeli bale divayisi, abalandeli abangakhethe lutho ngaphandle kokuqhubeka neNothi 4 noma iNothi 5 (eyokugcina ayithengiswanga emhlabeni) futhi balinde okulandelayo imodeli enjengamanzi kaMeyi.
