Additionally, it features 4GB of RAM, with an internal storage capacity of 32GB which can not be expanded much to the dismay of many users. However, it packs a 16-megapixel primary camera on the rear end and a 5-megapixel front shooter for selfies and is powered by a 3000mAh of non-removable battery and is also available in three color variants.

In the case of a dual-SIM variant of the Galaxy Note-5, the company has quoted the price as INR 51,400 for the 23GB variant and will be available in three color variants namely, Black Sapphire, Gold Platinum and Silver Titanium.
