Samsung Galaxy J6 price in India used to start at Rs. 13,990

Samsung Galaxy J6 has reportedly received yet another price cut in the Indian market, this time for both the 3GB RAM/ 32GB inbuilt storage and the 4GB RAM/ 64GB storage variants. The base 3GB RAM model will now allegedly be sold at a price of Rs. 12,490, down from a launch price of Rs. 13,990. The 4GB RAM model on the other hand is said to retail at a price of Rs. 13,990, down from its earlier discounted price of Rs. 15,990. This model was, however, launched for a price of Rs. 16,490 in May this year.

This new development comes to us via established Mumbai-based mobile retailer Mahesh Telecom, who has been accurate about such price cuts in the past. This move may have been made to take on value-for-money mid-range smartphones in the Rs. 10,000-15,000 price segment from Chinese brands such as Xiaomi and Honor. Notably, the Galaxy J6’s base 3GB RAM variant received its first price cut to Rs. 12,990 in August. The 4GB RAM model, on the other hand, got its first price reduction to Rs. 15,990 in July. We've reached out to Samsung to comment on the reported price drop, and will update this space when we hear back.
