Samsung Tuesday announced the launch of its Note 3 smartphone priced at Rs 49,900 for Indian markets.

Coming as the most expensive and high-end phone from the Korean mobile maker, Note 3 would have advanced S Pen, which will not only enable users to make notes on the phone, but also give access to various applications.

Weighing 168 gm, the android-based Note 3 would have a 5.7 inch screen and 13 megapixel camera.

The phone will be available in black, white and pink colours and will have a 3200 mah battery, which would give a back up of about 24 hrs.

Samsung will also bring to India, its first wearable water resistant computing device Galaxy Gear for Rs 22,990.

Both these products would be available for sale in India from September 25.

Customers would have the option to buy the Note 3 in monthly installments spread over a year.

“The Galaxy Note 3 represents a whole new evolution of the Galaxy Note experience. We have not increased width of the screen, but have increased the size of display,” Samsung country head (Mobile & IT) Vineet Taneja said.

Note 3 would be available in 3G version in India. The gear would be compatible with most of the Samsung galaxy devices and the 10.1 tablet which the company would launch in October, Samsung mobile director Manu Sharma said.

Samsung will make available both Note 3 and Gear in 100 stores in Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore from Tuesday.

Note 3 would have an improved version of ‘Find My Mobile’ feature which will allow users to disable the phone when it is stolen or lost.

The Samsung security technology, Knox, would allow users to remotely track or erase the data from their lost or stolen Note 3 phone, Taneja said. “Festival season is round the corner. So we will have buyback schemes for across portfolio.” Taneja added.
