The Galaxy Note 7 is set to go official later today at Samsung's Unpacked event in New York, and the device is expected to hit retail shelves soon after, at least in the US and some European nations. In India, Samsung's flagships usually take a month to arrive after their official announcement, but consumers in the country won't have to wait so long for the Note 7 as Samsung has confirmed the phablet will launch in India on August 11th.
That's just a little over a week from today, and we can expect the device to go on sale in the country a week or so after the launch. More details should emerge in the coming days and on the day of the launch; it will be interesting to see how Samsung prices the Galaxy Note 7 in India. The Galaxy Note 5 was priced rather well, at least when compared to the Galaxy Note 4, but the Edge screen and new features like the iris scanner mean the Note 7 might not be as affordable.
