Galaxy Note 3, the latest smartphone that Samsung launched as part of its popular Galaxy Note series, is now available for purchase in Australia on the network of Telstra.

The mobile phone can be bought on the carrier’s $80 (€56) Every Day Connect Plan with an $8 (€5.6) handset repayment per month. Users can also grab it at $912 (€641) RRP outright through the wireless carrier’s stores.
