For those who are unfamiliar with the term, pre-registrations do not require you to deposit any amount and is simply meant to express your interest in a product. This is different from pre-booking, which effectively means booking the product with a nominal amount ahead of its official availability. The phone was made available in South Korea at a price of KRW 899,800 (roughly Rs. 51,200) but we will have to wait and see if the Indian price for the phone is in a similar range.
