Samsung offering free Gear VR to make up for the delayed Galaxy Note 7 launch in India
Unless you’ve been completely off the grid,
you’ve probably heard by now about Samsung issuing a global recall of their
flagship Galaxy Note 7 to avoid any further risk of damage from battery
explosions.
While consumers in India don’t have to worry
about the recall, the unfortunate news is that the launch of the device, that
was set for September 2, has been delayed indefinitely.
To make up for the delayed availability,
Samsung is offering those who pre-ordered the Galaxy Note 7 the latest version
of the Gear VR headset for free, as well as a $50 (~Rs 3,300) Oculus content
voucher, to help you make the most of your new accessory.
Customers who pre-booked the Galaxy Note 7
could have also ordered the new Gear VR headset at a discounted price of Rs
1,990 (~$30), but even if you haven’t, you will still be eligible to get the
headset now for free. If bought separately, the new Gear VR headset is priced
at Rs 7,290 (~$110) in India.
While there is no information on when the
Galaxy Note 7 will now be available, those who have pre-ordered the smartphone
will receive a message on their registered email address or mobile number once
Samsung sets the date.
