Possibility of a Galaxy Note 5 launch in India first popped up on the radar a couple of weeks back when a firmware file was discovered, it was meant for the Indian variant of the Galaxy Note 5, why would Samsung be working on the firmware if it had no intention of launching the handset in the country?
