Exclusive: Samsung GALAXY S II Plus Headed For A February Launch In India

The Samsung GALAXY S III mini will not make it to the Indian shores though.

 

At the Samsung GALAXY Grand's announcement, we had a chance to have a quick word with Manu Sharma, General Manager of Samsung Mobiles. Among other things, we asked his views on domestic handset-maker Micromax, which competes with the Korean giant in phablets segment. While Sharma declined to comment on competition, he added that Samsung did enjoy dominance in terms of quality. But the juicier news was yet to pop out of him.

With regards to the GALAXY S III mini's availability in India, Samsung's GM made it clear that the company has no plans to launch the device in India. He rationalised that it will compete with the newly-announced Grand, and that looking at the phablet craze, people will prefer the latter for its larger screen. So that is bad news for those holding up their purchase for the S III mini.

On the bright side though, fans waiting for the GALAXY S II Plus have something to look forward to. The handset is headed for a late-February launch, and is expected to cost less than 25 grand.
