World's leading smartphone-maker Samsung unveiled the new Galaxy S20 series along with the Galaxy Z Flip in San Francisco on February 11. The former is slated to hit stores in select global regions on March 6, while the latter will be available at brick-and-mortar stores at least in the US from February 14 onwards.
However, the company, at the launch programme, didn't officially announce when the devices will head to India and also the region-specific prices details were skipped, causing concern among tech enthusiasts and fans, that they may get released late. Now, Samsung fanboys can breathe a sigh of relief, as it has opened the registration window for the Galaxy S20 and Z Flip series on its official India website.
Interested consumers can register for the latest details on Samsung Galaxy S20 and the Galaxy Z Flip series availability by signing up Samsung's online form with email ID and other personal details. As and when the devices will be announced for India, they will be the first to know this information.
