In response to rising component costs, Samsung India has quietly increased the prices of its entry-level smartphones. Industry analysts had previously anticipated this move, as entry-level models are particularly vulnerable to fluctuations in component pricing. The adjustment affects various models across the Galaxy A, F, and M series, including both 4G and 5G variants.
The updated pricing impacts models categorized as entry-level (06, 07, and 17) and includes multiple RAM and storage configurations. Below is a detailed breakdown of the new pricing for each affected model:
| Model | RAM/Storage | Old Price | New Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Galaxy A06 5G | 4/64GB | ₹14,000 | ₹15,500 |
| 6/128GB | ₹19,000 | ₹19,500 | |
| Galaxy A07 4G | 4/64GB | ₹11,000 | ₹13,000 |
| Galaxy A07 | 4/128GB | ₹17,000 | ₹18,500 |
| 6/128GB | ₹19,000 | ₹20,500 | |
| Galaxy A17 | 6/128GB | ₹22,500 | ₹23,500 |
| 8/128GB | ₹24,500 | ₹26,500 | |
| 8/256GB | ₹29,000 | ₹32,000 | |

The price adjustments see the high-spec Galaxy A17 (5G) surpass ₹30,000, raising questions about its value proposition. To offset the impact of these increases, Samsung is offering a series of promotions, including up to 10% cashback with select bank cards and additional discounts for first-time users on Samsung.com or its mobile app. Customers can also explore trade-in options for older devices.
