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.

Jabra Elite 65t wireless earphones Review 2018

Jabra Elite 65t wireless earphones Review 2018 Nearly a year ago, we reviewed the Jabra Elite Sport, the longtime wireless audio maker's first venture into the true wireless space. You could say that they were ambitious with their approach, considering the earbuds attempted to appeal to both music and fitness enthusiasts. Unfortunately, it didn't help either that the Elite Sport were slapped with a $250 price tag, making them one of the more expensive mainstream options at the time. During CES 2018 early last month, Jabra introduced two new truly wireless headphones – the Jabra Elite 65t and the Elite Active 65t. Naturally, this strategy is a departure from the company's previous efforts, as it now tries to cater to the two opposing demographics with dedicated products. The Elite 65t, in particular, is marketed as "being engineered for the best true wireless calls and music experience." That's yet again a bold claim, so we'll find out how it stacks...

Foldable Surface Phone from Microsoft look like thanks to this concept 2018 Microsoft is bringing something big into their hands , as the patent that was granted last week in the United States has shown. This patent had already emerged at the end of October of this year, where its resemblance reminded us of that mythical Microsoft Courier , which never saw the light. Now we have new clues that in Redmond are working on a device that is known under the code name of ‘Andromeda’ , which could be the rumored and expected Surface Phone.

The first rumors, the new patent and the examples shown with the Courier sho...

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. A message on Jio’s website – uploaded on Sunday – reads that the customers will be informed when the company resumes pre-booking. RIL and Reliance Jio Infocomm didn’t respond to an email seeking comment. The Mukesh Ambani-led firm had also offered customers the option of booking the device through the offline channels through Jio retailers and multi-brand device retailers, including the Reliance Digital stores network. Sources say pre-booking has stopped across those offline outlets as well. Jio Phone bookings with a Rs 500 advance had crossed the 3 million mark within a couple of hours of opening on August 24.
