Samsung today slashed prices of its phones in the Galaxy A series. The smartphone maker announced this permanent price cut today. This price cut comes at an important time with the festive season just around the corner in India.
The 2017 line-up of the Galaxy A series was launched in India in March, after being revealed at CES earlier this year. While the Galaxy A5 (2017) was launched at a price of Rs 28,990, the Galaxy A7 (2017) was launched at Rs 33,490. Both the phones were selling at an MOP (market operated price) of Rs 26,900 and Rs 30,900 respectively, which is a fall of more than Rs 2,000 on both the phones compared to their launch price.
After today’s price cuts, the Galaxy A5 (2017) will be available at an MOP of Rs 22,900 and the Galaxy A7 (2017) at Rs 25,900. In short, the 2017 edition of the Galaxy A5 and Galaxy A7 have been discounted by Rs 4,000 and Rs 5,000 respectively. At these prices, and given the trust in Samsung, these two phones are a little more competitive compared to the options available in the market.
