Why do phones leak early?

Phone leaks are often deliberate marketing strategies by manufacturers like Samsung. By 'leaking' details of upcoming models like the S27, they generate buzz and anticipation before the official launch. This keeps their brand in the news and builds excitement, potentially boosting pre-orders and sales when the phone is finally released.
