Samsung Galaxy Note 8 gets a price cut in India: Now available for Rs. 47,800

Samsung recently unveiled their latest flagship device, the Samsung Galaxy Note 9. The Galaxy Note 9 is the direct successor to previous year's Note 8. Now that the Note 9 is here at a starting price of Rs. 68,900, Samsung decided to slash the prices of the last year's flagship. The price of the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 has been slashed by Rs. 12,000 in India.

Samsung Galaxy Note 8 was launched in India last year with a price tag of Rs. 67,900. Now with the Rs. 12,000 price cut, the Galaxy Note 8 can be grabbed for just Rs. 55,900. At this price, the smartphone is a steal. However, to get to the Rs. 47,800 price point, you will have to trade in an old smartphone on Amazon. Though the hardware is now a year old, it still stands out and can beat most of the smartphones at a similar price segment.
