Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Release Date: Phablet Now Available In Europe, Price Starts At €52/month On Contract

The Korean smartphone giant announced it almost a month ago during the IFA event in Berlin, yet millions are still waiting the exact Samsung Galaxy Note 3 release date is in their respective regions. Today, it officially hit the shelves in Europe. 

According to GSM Arena, Samsung's ultimate phablet could now be in the hands of some buyers in the Netherlands. The report said the unlocked N9005 version, packed with a Snapdragon 800 processor, LTE and 2160p UHD video recording, will retail at €600 for both the white and black editions. 

On the other hand, the Galaxy Note 3 would be much more affordable if purchased through a two-year contract in the Netherlands, ranging from €150 to €316 upfront and then €38 to €50 monthly after that. 

Buyers in the United Kingdom, Germany, and France would also get their hands on the most-anticipated Samsung phablet before the end of week until the first week of October through several telecom carriers and Amazon. 

Meanwhile, the Galaxy Gear has also launched alongside the Note 3, and retails for €300 to €389.
