Samsung India has confirmed that it will bring its latest Galaxy Note 3 and Galaxy Gear products to customers as early as September 25. India is among the first 149 countries that will get the Galaxy Note 3 by the end of September, unlike Japan and the U.S., which will receive the phablet next month.

There are no details on the price tag options for any of the two Galaxy devices, but, as AndroidOS points out, Indian customers will be offered the Exynos-based Galaxy Note 3 variant.

Samsung announced early last week that it would launch two Galaxy Note 3 models this fall, depending on the market.

There will be a Galaxy Note 3 powered by a 2.3 GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor and an Adreno 330 graphics processing unit, which will be available in markets with LTE coverage.

The second Galaxy Note 3 to arrive on the market will be packed with Samsung’s Exynos chipset, which accommodates two CPUs: 1.9 GHz quad-core Cortex-A15 and 1.3 GHz quad-core Cortex-A7.

Indian customers should also take note that Galaxy Note 3 N9000 does not feature LTE support and the 13-megapixel rear-facing camera can only capture videos at 2160p@30fps, unlike N9005 model that can record 1080p@60fps videos.

Another piece of information confirmed by Samsung’s Head of Samsung Think Tank Team and Director of Research at Samsung Research America, Pranav Mistry, is the fact that Galaxy Gear smartwatch will ship with support for all major Indian languages, including Gujarati, Hindi, Tamil, Marathi and Punjabi.

Furthermore, the South Korean company has announced that owners of Samsung Galaxy Gear will be able to install no less than 60 important applications at launch, including Pocket and Evernote.

Samsung Galaxy Note 3 will arrive in India with 32GB of storage and microSD card slot for memory expansion (up to 64GB). A 64GB model will be available on the market as well, but no additional info on price and availability has been unveiled yet.
