Samsung Galaxy S8

It seems the launch date for the Galaxy S8 is now expected to be 29th March with the first deliveries expected around the 21st April. The cost will be about £650. It seems there will be two versions. There will (apparently) be both 5.8 and 6.2-inch screen sizes.
Plenty of other rumours about so we'll have to wait and see. I'm going to be getting one anyway!

I was waiting for the S8 so that I could move on from my S6 but looks like that won't be happening

It's only rumour at the moment.

........... but I guess I may have to give up using Tasker with such a new version of Android.

I have an S8 Plus and I use Tasker without any issues.
