There has been no word on why Samsung chose to limit the availability of the Coral Blue and Maple Gold Galaxy S8. These models are available in markets including Europe and Korea. Style trends in many Asian countries favor uniquely designed and accessorized smartphones.

There is no word on which U.S. carriers may offer the Coral Blue Galaxy S8. Other Samsung devices, which are available in the Coral Blue color option include the Galaxy S7 Edge and the Galaxy Note 7. The Galaxy Note 7 is expected to return soon to Asian and Latin American markets as a refurbished or rental device. Defects within the Note 7 handset led to two recalls of the device and ultimately its discontinuation. However, Samsung decided to equip the smartphone with a battery of lower capacity, 3,200mAh, and release it once more. While the device has been approved by regulatory organizations, including the FCC, Samsung has not revealed details for its release.
