Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. released its latest cellphone–tablet computer hybrid the Galaxy Note 3 N9000, and its Galaxy Gear smart watch on to the Indian market Tuesday.

The Galaxy Note 3 is priced at 49,900 rupees ($790) a piece and the Galaxy Gear at 22,990-rupees ($364) a unit.

The release comes at a time when smartphones are enjoying something of a boom in India. Shipments of the multifunction devices to the country almost tripled year-on-year to 9.3 million units during April-June, data from technology research firm International Data Corporation, headquartered in the U.S. showed. The figures indicate a strong demand for handsets that allow users to browse the Internet, listen to music, watch videos and play games on the move. Operators have recently slashed subscription fees for using the Internet on smartphones and tablet computers in the country making them a more attractive proposition."
