Record pre-orders for Galaxy Note8 in the US, India sees 250,000 registrations
The Samsung Galaxy Note8 reports great pre-order numbers on all fronts. Samsung says that the new flagship broke the previous pre-order record for a Galaxy Note in the US. Interest is strong in India as well.
The relatively high price did not deter fans of the S Pen – the new model costs $930 SIM-free while the Note7 was $850. Samsung is already shipping phones to some of those who pre-ordered while general sales will start on September 15.
We have more concrete numbers from India – 250,000 people registered interest. Of that, around 150,000 are on Amazon. The country will get the new flagship earlier than most – tomorrow.
As for other regions, MobileFun reported that Galaxy Note8 pre-orders in the UK are 30% higher, South Korea clocked 400,000 pre-orders in a day (for comparison, the Note7 reached 200,000 in two days).
