Over 2.5 lakh people in India have registered to buy Samsung Galaxy Note 8 device which will be launched in the country on September 12 - the same day when Apple would unveil its next big device in the US - expected to be called the iPhone X.
Nearly 1.5 lakh people have registered on Amazon, with 72,000 pre-booking the flagship device on the very first day when the registrations were open last weekend.
Nearly one lakh people have registered to buy Galaxy Note 8 on Samsung India website, industry sources told IANS.
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, the sources added.
