New Delhi, Aug 6 (IANS): Customers in India can now pre-reserve the upcoming Galaxy flagship smartphones by paying a token amount of Rs 2,000, the company said on Friday.

Users can pay the amount on Samsung India's e-Store www.samsung.com or Samsung Shop App.

"Customers making the pre-reservation will get the 'Next Galaxy VIP Pass' which entitles customers to get a smart tag worth Rs 2,699 for free when they pre-book the device," the company said in a statement.
