Samsung Galaxy J6 has received a price cut of Rs. 1,000 in India. The smartphone that was launched in the country back in May last year is now available with a starting price of Rs. 10,490. The new price drop comes months after Samsung slashed the price of the Galaxy J6, Galaxy J4, Galaxy J2 (2018), and the Galaxy J2 Core under its Diwali offer. Particularly, the Galaxy J6 is competing against the likes of the Asus ZenFone Max M2 and Redmi 6 Pro. Gadgets 360 has independently confirmed the price cut that was first reported by an established Mumbai-based retailer.
As a result of the new revision, the Samsung Galaxy J6 price in India has been set at Rs. 10,490 for the 3GB RAM/ 32GB storage option. The 4GB RAM/ 64GB storage variant of the Galaxy J6, on the other hand, now comes at Rs. 11,990.
Online marketplaces such as Amazon.in, Flipkart, and the Samsung India e-Store are yet to list the new prices. However, Mumbai-based Mahesh Telecom reported the fresh price cut through a tweet posted on Friday and as we mentioned, we've been able to independently confirm the revised prices.
