Samsung has today officially announced its latest Galaxy S5 smartphone and Gear-series wearable devices for India, along with the first details of pricing in the country. While no exact figure is given, the manufacturer reportedly gave a price range of between Rs. 51,000-53,000 ($850-880) for its latest flagship. India will reportedly be getting the Exynos 5 Octa version of the GS5, not the Snapdragon 801-powered version heading to many Western markets, when it launches on April 11.

The Gear 2, Gear 2 Neo and Gear Fit will also arrive in India the same day. The camera-equipped Gear 2 will sell for Rs. 21,900 ($363), while the Gear 2 Neo and Gear Fit are priced at Rs. 15,900 ($265).

  • Atleast the article above does mention that it is the Octacore version. I think we are getting the quad-core in the US. With that said and considering the prices I pay in the USA for phones with much lower specs (I have a Blackberry Q10 which cost $600+ tax) it is reasonable in that sense.
