Samsung to launch Galaxy Note5 dual SIM variant in India tomorrow
Samsung will launch the dual SIM variant of its Galaxy Note5 flagship smartphone in India tomorrow. The 32GB model will carry a price tag of INR 51,400 (around $760), while the 64GB model will set you back INR 57,400 (around $845).
"In the high-end segment, we saw a very strong trend of people using dual-SIMs in our A series smartphones," said Manu Sharma, director-product marketing at Samsung India. "Consumers want a premium device, which has a local SIM and space for another SIM."
The South Korean company expects to extend its dual-SIM strategy to more flagship devices, including the Galaxy S6 edge and Galaxy S6 edge+ in the future. "We will continue doing products that will address an opportunity and we will drive the dual-SIM market in the premium segment, starting with the Note 5," Sharma said.
