In related development, Samsung is planning to launch Galaxy Note 5 in India soon.

Samsung community blog SamMobile has stumbled upon a firmware bound for the Indian variant. It is said to be still under testing. To verify the report, the website asked Samsung for reply. To that, the company neither denied nor confirmed whether Galaxy Note 5 is coming to India. This ambiguous statement from the company had led many to believe the flagship phablet will indeed hit stores in the country later this year.

As of now, Samsung has only launched Galaxy S6 Edge+ in India.

Just a few days ago, Samsung was panned by the early adopters of the phone. It was said that the phablet's S-Pen had a design-flaw, wherein if the user accidentally inserts the stylus backwards (with pointy edge up), they risk permanently disabling self-ejection mechanism and also the S-Pen detection sensor. The users of Galaxy Note 5 have been advised to be cautious while inserting the stylus as otherwise they will have to pay an expensive service bill.
