Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Pre-Order Exceeds Expectation in Nepal

Samsung Galaxy Note 9 made its way to Nepal last month with pre-booking starting from 17th August to 30th August. The flagship from Samsung was available much quicker than anticipated and according to reports Samsung Nepal has received a huge amount of pre-orders for the Note 9. The reports suggest that the number is thrice of what they have managed for previous devices.

Samsung Galaxy Note 9 is not much different from the Note 8 visually but the improved S Pen certainly seems to have impressed Nepali consumers. Furthermore, Samsung provided the pre-bookers with an insurance offer which covers the breakage of the phone for a year along with 18000 MB Ncell Promotional Data. Additionally, leather wallet cover and HDMI Adapter or with an addition of Rs. 10,000, an HDMI Adapter + Samsung Curved Monitor was made available to pre-bookers. Apart from these, the pre-bookers were also eligible for Samsung’s Lucky Draw.

We, at Samsung are pleased with the response we got from the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 pre-booking. We would like to thank all of our pre-bookers for their overwhelming and exciting responses that exceeded our expectations by more than 3 times.
