Galaxy Note 7 sales in India may resume before Diwali

The Galaxy Note 7 was supposed to be launched in India on September 2 but it was never launched in the country as Samsung confirmed the handset's battery cell defect and immediately suspended sales. Those who had pre-ordered a Note 7 in the country were told that their shipments would be delayed. Shipments are still awaited and Samsung is yet to confirm when the Galaxy Note 7 will be relaunched in India. A recent report claimed that the Note 7 will be relaunched in the country on October 7 but it's now being claimed that sales will be resumed prior to the festival of Diwali.

Mashable India reports that Samsung is going to resume sales of the Galaxy Note 7 in India before the festival of Diwali. It's normal to see a significant sales spike around the time of this festival as it's much like Christmas in the West. Diwali is going to be celebrated on October 30 this year so if this report is correct customers in India should expect to get their hands on the flagship towards the end of next month.
