Indian S8+ Discussion Thread - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion

Hi All,
Just starting this thread as a custom to discuss about the upcoming S8/S8+ India launch, price, availability of colors.
The phone is supposed to go public on April 19th.
https://www.sammobile.com/2017/04/14/galaxy-s8-and-galaxy-s8-will-be-launched-in-india-on-april-19/
I have spoken to few dealers from Samsung priority stores from Bangalore, and they are already taking pre-orders for both the phones.
They are adamant that the actual shipping dates for the phones will only be on May 1st week.
There are no demo models yet, atleast in Bangalore.
Expected price according to the dealers are 59990 for S8 and 66990 for S8+.
Please share whatever information you have here so that everyone are informed.

Samsung Galaxy Note launched in India with a MRP. of Rs.34990/- and will be available everywhere within a weeks time starting today. Also the first 100,000 units will come with a free complimentary leather case worth 2200/-.
Now the bad news: on asking the samsung people about ICS update for galaxy note they couldnt comment neither about availability nor could confirm whether it would be updated to ICS at all.

I'm more interested in the price, considering Maharashtra has the highest tax slab on electronics and mobile devices.

Well m also very much interested in buying it, it seems to be a dream phone, and we can also go for a group buy for better pricing.

Well let it launch once, one way is, we all indian members can enquire for the cheapest group buy prices in our cities and order from wherever we get it most cheap.
Ah well, I already ordered mine from Germany.

Actually I got it from eBay, the seller had decent reviews so I thought what the heck. I couldn't get it ordered from online German retailers since the only one which could ship to India was charging me 290 Euro for shipping. It is set to be shipped today and then delivered within 3-5 business days, hope it goes well.
EDIT : It was 820$(USD) plus 79$ for shipping. I'm not sure what the import duty will be, but I'll deal with it.
good luck with indian customs ... im sure saale bahut jyaada charge karenge tujhko .. all the best !
I only had to pay 14% for my ipad 2, it can't be more than that. Plus I chose fedex which has there own custom clearance department so it gets processed faster.

That's still so expensive..smh.. hope its price is lower when it launches in India.. 40k+ Rs is just too much.. its supposed to be a hybrid of galaxy tab 750 and a galaxy s2.. so ithe price is supposed to be in between.. but since Samsung doesn't want to interfere in the sell of the new galaxy tab, it is costlier.. and besides there is still no other product in d phoblet department to compete with the galaxy note.. so its goin to be expensive here too ,I guess
It's supposed to arrive today

Discussion of At&T Galaxy S III for non-US GSM users

Hello all,
Having observed the discussions and useful information in the similarly titled thread for US users, I decided to start this one for those of us outside the US who are interested in the AT&T variant.
I've already pre-ordered and am eagerly awaiting its release. There are a few questions in my mind such as performance comparisons with the international version, ease of unlocking, modder support, etc. Anyone found any reviews of the north american variant yet?
I guess unlocking and unbranding are not going to be problematic after developers recieves the phone. It should perform roughy the same as the internationaö version due to slightly higher clock speed. S4 uses more memory so that doesn't bring much difference either.

I'll have mine here soon. I'll post once I get to latin america and can test it out, around 1 July.
How did you preordered? You paid the no-contract price?
