Price of Samsung Galaxy S8+ Dropped in India by INR 12,000

Samsung Galaxy S8+ is now available for INR 39,990 through their official retailers. The performance packed smartphone was launched for INR 64,990 last year, bringing buyers an irresistible offer through the third price cut. On the official website, the phone is listed at INR 51,990 and comes with three additional offers. The first offer brings a price drop of INR 4000 for every buyer, irrespective of the method of payment in the form of instant cashback. Those buying with HDFC credit card will get INR 4000 worth additional cashback.

Samsung is also offering exchange bonus of INR 4000 on select models, taking the overall effective price to INR 39,990 through online channels. It seems like physical official retailers are offering all these benefits directly to the customer, saving them a lot of hassle. Still, those looking for exchange bonus can get mouth-watering value for their old smartphone and additionally, get their hands on one year Netflix subscription for free. The offers are good enough to bring the S8+ in direct competition with OnePlus 6 and ASUS Zenfone 5Z.

The same offer is also applicable on Samsung Galaxy S8 online, taking the total effective price down to INR 33,990 with all three offers. It is not yet confirmed if the same is available with this effective price through offline stores.
