Samsung India begins pre-bookings for Galaxy Note 3 and Galaxy Gear

Samsung has started taking pre-orders for its new Galaxy Note 3 and Galaxy Gear devices on the official e-store. Like other Samsung devices in the past, Samsung is asking for INR 2,000 as the pre-booking amount and the users will be able to pay for the rest once the devices are available and priced.

As the new Samsung Galaxy Gear smartwatch works only with Note 3 and Note 10.1 (2014) devices at the moment, Samsung is selling it bundled with Note 3 smartphone and not separately. Consumers can either book Note 3 as a single device or Note 3 with Galaxy Gear, only these two options are available.

The pre-booking section seem to have been made live pre-maturely as a lot of details are missing from the pre-booking listings including the terms and conditions. We would suggest you to wait for a day or two before pre-booking these devices.

To remind you, Samsung is hosting a press event in New Delhi on September 17 to officially launch both the devices in the Indian market, they will however go on sale a week later, beginning September 25.
