Samsung has not announced the pricing of the Galaxy Note 8 at the event. We expect the same to be announced at the IFA 2017 show floor in Berlin in early September. The pre-order for the Galaxy Note 8 will debut in a few days in the U.S. market and the sale will debut starting from September 15. While the availability of the device in the other markets is yet to be confirmed by the South Korean tech giant, the Amazon India homepage reveals a juicy information.

 

Before the launch event, Amazon India showed a notification for the Galaxy Unpacked event asking users to sign up in order to get the alerts regarding the availability of the phone in the country. Even the Samsung India online store prompts users to sign up to get alerts on when the device will be up for pre-orders.

Talking about the banner listed on Amazon India, it looks like the Galaxy Note 8 will be exclusive to the online retailer. Notably, the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ were launched exclusively via Flipkart being company's online partner. Now, it remains unclear if the Galaxy Note 8 will also be sold via Flipkart once it is released. One thing that is sure that Amazon India will sell the device.
