Samsung has launched the highly anticipated Galaxy Note 3 smartphone in India along with its sidekick, the Galaxy Gear smartwatch. The flagship smartphone will set you back by a lofty ₹49,900, whereas the Galaxy Gear smartwatch comes at a similarly expensive ₹22,900 price tag.

The Indian model will run on Samsung's Exynos 5 Octa SoC, which means you won't get the 4K recording option as on the Snapdragon 800 model to be sold in the US. You will, however, get the same 5.7-inch, 1080p Super AMOLED display, 3GB of RAM, 32GB storage space, 13 megapixel camera, 3,200mAh battery and Android 4.3 Jelly Bean.

saw the pricing and :rofl:

That's some insane pricing considering that there is no 4K recording option like in US version. What sammy thinks while pricing? Those guys are retarded or what?

Not worth it as it's not the S800 version with 4k recording.

what's with every electronic company?? i mean micromax's canvas 2 was brilliant for its price and canvas 4 a little over priced!, then comes apple with their CHEAP 40k phone, and now a 23k WATCH brilliant, then some company would want us to buy a paper for 1Lakh

49900 /-

Sammy gone mad.. 35k is sweet spot.

Street price should be less.

^^ I'm so hoping that would be the case

Yeah, the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 does carry an obnoxious price tag. But, what about the Samsung Gear Smartwatch?

That piece of crap, a truly beta product is priced at 22K! Samsung is desperately trying to be the Apple of the original iPhone days. Pretending to be the real "innovators" in revolutionizing and introducing a new product category to the world. But, what the original iPhone did to the smartphone world cannot be replicated by a brand like Samsiung. Their strategy of "flood the market, spend millions on advertising to build the hype and then hope something sticks ain't gonna last for long. Samsung, you'd be nowhere without Andrioid and you know it!

So, is there anybody in here who has good things to say about the smart watch? I'd be more than happy to be proven wrong (in a good way

...)

Note is a proven franchisee but that watch is priced insane and it is just a companion and not a device which can do calls and all independently (if i am right), and it doesn't even look elegant.
Even android lovers should hope for it to fail (like i am hoping for iPhone 5c fail miserably) so you can get a better device and priced right.
Vote with your wallet.

Samsung is competing directly against Apple/HTC/Sony in consumer market, and this price tag is just an evidence for it. Nokia is no longer a threat, and desi brands are like street pups.

Stunned by the Specs,got my note3 straightaway!

Back to Android group! Highly impressed by the mail client "AquaMail Pro" with great customization and individual ringtone for every mail and LED blinking (Remembering my old BlackBerry days!)

One thing is sure,you need to thourghly analyze the entire advantage of a powerful tab like note3,it may take more time!
