The creamy blue color - a mix between baby blue and silver - joins the S8's color lineup in the US, which already includes arctic silver, midnight black, and orchid gray (the S8 also comes in maple gold outside the US).

The color was first announced as a new shade for the Galaxy Note 7, but production was halted and that phone was recalled in 2016 after several cases of Note 7 phones exploding were reported. Samsung then added the color as an option for the S7 Edge last October.

The shade is a pretty gorgeous addition to the S8's color lineup, and one of the few blue premium smartphones on the market. You'll be able to buy it both unlocked or with a carrier starting July 21 at Best Buy and Samsung.com.
