Samsung will launch the Galaxy Note 5 in these countries

Samsung may have only launched the Galaxy Note 5 last week, but some orders are already being shipped out to some buyers. By now, you’ve probably read that Samsung has no plans to bring this latest addition to the Note series to Europe in 2015. So, other than the US and South Korea, where is Samsung launching the Note 5?

According to SamMobile, The Note 5 will be available in the following markets:

• CAM- Cambodia SM-N920C
• AFG – Afghanistan SM-N920C
• TGY – Hong Kong SM-N900
• XXV – Vietnam SM-N920C
• TUN – Tunisia SM-N920C
• KSA – Saudia Arabia SM-N920C
• CEL – Israel (Cellcom) SM-N920C
• BTC – Libya SM-N920C
• PCT – Puerto Rico SM-N920W8
• BRI – Taiwan SM-N9208
• GLB – Philippines (Globe) SM-N9208
• MYM – MYM SM-N9208
• XSA – Australia (Vodafone)
• VFJ – VFJ SM-N920I
• MID – Iraq SM-N920C
• MWD – Morocco (MWD) SM-N920C
• PTR – Israel (Orange/Partner) SM-N920C
• VNZ – New Zealand (Vodafone)
• TNZ – New Zealand SM-N920I
• PNG – Papua New Guinea SM-N920I
• OPS – Australia (Optus) SM-N920I
• NZC – New Zealand
• TEL – Australia (Telstra)
• MM1 – Singapore SM-N920I
• CHC – China SM-N9200

The list is by no means final as yet, but it’s easy to see that Samsung appear to be avoiding Europe at all costs. It’s difficult to understand the Korean company’s strategy, surely Europe is a larger market for the Note 5 than say, Libya? It should be noted that I’m not against Libya having access and I’m definitely not advocating an us-instead-of-them policy. I’m just surprised that Samsung is choosing to believe that Europe wanted a larger Galaxy S6 edge and not the newest Note handset. Where is the natural upgrade path for the Note 3 owner who is coming to end of his/her contract? Doesn’t Samsung care about it’s loyal Galaxy Note fans?

Hopefully, LG and Sony’s upcoming flagship devices will provide an alternative, another worthy but cheaper alternative would be the Moto X Pure Edition (Style in Europe).  If you were hoping to upgrade to the Note 5 in Europe, which handset are you now looking at? Or are you hoping that Clove UK’s petition will do the trick?
