Do your research lah.
Directly or indirectly by HTC, it still by HTC.

IMO, S8 will still be great in term of innovation. Afterall, the one that affected is the Note line, not the S line. From what we could expect, S line will be the only saviour that can help Samsung to get out from this catastrophe. So most likely Samsung won't dare to fail on this one. They will give it out in full force. However, we certainly can't say the same thing to the Note 8 (if they do release it in next year). As most of the tech reviewes said, the name is damaged. From now on, people will think of the explosion as long as they hear the name Samsung Note.  Believe it or not, that's the consequences of the Note 7 fiasco.
