Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and Galaxy Gear UK pricing revealed

Samsung has revealed the pricing of the recently launched Galaxy Note 3 and the Galaxy Gear smart watch for the UK market.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 comes with a price tag of 649 UK Pounds (Rs. 66,270 approximately) which is the price for the unlocked version of the handset while the Galaxy Gear smart watch has been priced for 299 UK Pounds (Rs. 30,530 approximately). Both the devices will be rolled out on September 25 for the UK markets.

Last week, AT&T started taking pre-orders for the Galaxy Note 3 for $299.99 with a two-year contract and the telecom operator noted that the device will ship around October 1. AT&T's contract pricing of the Galaxy Note 3 translates into an off-contract pricing of approximately $700 (Rs. 46,000 approximately). However, Samsung's Galaxy Gear smart watch was listed as expected in the 'coming weeks'.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 was officially unveiled alongside the Galaxy Gear smart watch at an event in Berlin at IFA 2013. However, the company did not reveal the prices of the device but announced that the latest phablet will head to around 140 countries later this month.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 comes with a 5.7-inch full-HD Super AMOLED display. It comes in two variants: the LTE-variant will be powered by 2.3GHz quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor, and the 3G (HSDPA) version will be powered by a 1.9GHz octa-core Exynos processor. Both models bear 3GB of LPDDR3 RAM, and sport a 13-megapixel rear camera alongside a 2-megapixel front camera. The Note 3 is powered by 3,200mAh battery and runs on Android 4.3 Jelly Bean.

Meanwhile, the Galaxy Gear smart watch features a 1.63-inch (4.14-cm) OLED display. It can make calls, display messages, record videos and snap photos with its 1.9-megapixel camera.
