Interest in the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is apparently high in India. According to a report from IANS, over 2.5 lakh people in India have registered for the Galaxy Note 8. The report said nearly 1.5 lakh people have registered the device on Amazon India.

Other than Amazon, nearly 1 lakh people have registered the Galaxy Note 8 on Samsung India, industry sources told IANS.
Samsung is launching the Galaxy Note 8 in India on September 12, the same day when Apple plans to unveil the iPhone 8 in Cupertino, California. Industry sources reveal, “Samsung was aware of the iPhone launch but was confident enough to launch on the same day owing to its strong leadership position in India. Earlier this week, Samsung had sent out press invites for the launch of the Note 8 in India. The event is scheduled to take place in Delhi  at 12:30 pm (IST), and it will be live streamed through the company’s official site.
Indianexpress.com had previously predicted that the Galaxy Note 8 will be launch in India in the second week of September and sales for the high-end smartphone will start towards end of the month. The South Korean company could bring the 64GB and 128GB storage variants of the Galaxy Note 8 to India. The premium, flagship smartphone is expected to cost upwards of Rs 65,000 for the base storage. Internationally, Samsung is selling the Galaxy Note 8 for about $930 (or approx Rs 59,482) for the 64GB storage.

Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is the most anticipated smartphone to hit the market this year. The  phone sports a 6.3-inch FullVision Quad HD+ display with a resolution of 1440 x 2960. Under the hood, the device is powered by either Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 or Exynos 8895 SoC coupled with 6GB RAM. The device also comes with a working stylus. The S Pen stylus has long been a signature feature of the Note brand.
The Galaxy Note 8 features a dual-camera setup, similar to the iPhone 7 Plus.. Samsung uses two 12MP cameras, one of which employs a f/2.4 telephoto lens offering 2x optical zoom, while a secondary lens camera has an aperture of f/1.7. Both lens benefit from an optical Image Stabilization (OIS). There’s an 8MP camera on the front of the Galaxy Note 8. Samsung Galaxy Note 8 runs Android 7.1 Nougat and will be upgraded to Android 8.0 Oreo later this year. The smartphone is backed by a smaller 3300mAh battery.
