Samsung Galaxy Note 8 to go on sale in India from September 11

A few days back, it was tipped that the Galaxy Note 8 will go on pre-order in India on September 11. Now, there is confirmation on the release date of this device in the country.

Pre-Bookings from September 11
According to the latest report by PhoneHorn, the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 will be released in the country on September 11. The sale of the device in the global markets debuts from September 15. For now, there is no clue on which variants of the device will be released in India and the alleged pricing details. However, from the previous reports, one thing that we know is that the Galaxy Note 8 could be exclusive to the online retailer Amazon India.

We confirmed earlier that the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is going to be sold in India from September. The device is expected to go up for pre-orders from September 11, while the device will be released from September 25 onwards. That’s slightly delayed from the dates Samsung chose for launching the Note 7 in India last year.

The device has 6GB of RAM and comes with 64GB storage onboard, with options for 128GB and 256GB versions also. The Galaxy Note 8 sports the Snapdragon 835 chipset, and a 3300 mAh battery, along with dual-12MP cameras on the back. The Note 8 is Samsung’s first dual-camera smartphone.


The device is expected to be priced at around Rs. 70,000 in India. Samsung recently dropped the price of its 128GB Galaxy S8 Plus, presumably to make room for the Note 8. The Galaxy S8 Plus used to cost around the Rs. 70,000 price mark.

The Note 8 starts at $929 in the US, for the unlocked handsets. That amounts to about Rs. 60,000, meaning export duties and other expenses involved in selling in India could indeed inflate priced. That would also put the Galaxy Note 8 amongst Samsung’s most expensive smartphones ever.

Jio feature phone pre-booking suspended on high demand

Reliance Industries has suspended the pre-booking of its newly launched 4G VoLTE feature phone, JioPhone, till further notice after demand for the device far exceeded the target of making available 5 million phones a week. “The customers can, however, register their details but we are not taking any pre-booking as of now,” said a person familiar with the matter.
