The Samsung Galaxy Note8, one of the most awaited smartphone of 2017, was unveiled last month at an event in New York. While Samsung didn’t share any information regarding the availability of Note8 in India during the event, the company has now announced that the Note8 will be launched in India on September 12.
Samsung has started sending out press invites to the media for the launch of its Galaxy Note8 in India on September 12. The company has also shared the same on their newsroom. While the invite doesn’t mention the Note8 specifically, it doesn’t take a genius to figure out which device it would be. The invite shows a silhouette of the Galaxy Note8 along with the S-Pen which makes it pretty much clear that the company will indeed launch the Note8 on September 12 in India.
The launch will start at 12.30 pm IST and can be watched live here and here. Having said that, there’s no information yet about the pricing of the Note8 in India, however, past leaks suggest it would be priced at ₹74,990. Well, we don’t have to wait much though as the launch is just five days away where we will know more about its pricing as well as its availability.
