Galaxy Note5 won’t be launched worldwide but will be available in these markets

The Galaxy Note5 is indeed an evolution in the Galaxy Note family but unlike its predecessor the  highly anticipated phablet won’t be available worldwide especially in Europe.

The countries in the list will be the first to have the Galaxy Note5 in their local retail stores and carriers but as time progresses the list could grow depending on the demand, and if you country is not in the list then it’s most likely that you can’t get the handset (officially). The only thing to blame here is that instead of getting the Galaxy Note5, you’ll be getting the new Galaxy S6 edge+ which has the same hardware specs as the S Pen equipped handset but without the stylus which made the Galaxy Note5 more productive.
