Aside from France, the phone will also land in the UK, Germany, Italy, Spain, Russia, Poland, the Czech Republic, Finland, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Portugal, the UAE, India, Belgium, Malaysia, and the Netherlands.
There’s no mention of the Philippines in the company’s launch plans, but that may change depending on the reception of the device.
