A device carrying the codename SM-N930FD has received certification in Russia, the Galaxy Note 7 name is mentioned in the application. The information comes from MobilTelefon and although no other details are revealed, this post does suggest that Samsung intends to release the device immediately after its launch. Hopefully, it will make it available worldwide and fans from Europe wouldn't have to wait long until they can purchase the smartphone.

The same thing happened before the release of Samsung's Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge, as the two devices received certification from Russia just two weeks before they were made available for purchase.
