According to VentureBeat, the company gave no particular reason for the delay. But it might be that Samsung doesn't want to rush in with the launch like it did with the Galaxy Note 7 and the rest you know what happened. Basically, Samsung is just being extra cautious this time as it can't afford to deal with another Note 7 fiasco. The company has to get things right and more importantly have a successful launch this time. Expectations are also high.
