Samsung Galaxy R arrives online for a disappointingly high price

One of Samsung’s most awaited Android handsets, the Galaxy R has popped up on online stores like Flipkart and Letsbuy, but for a disappointingly high price. This phone was supposed to be the poor man's Galaxy S II, so naturally we were expecting it to launch for nothing more than 25K. However, a price tag of Rs. 27,000 (Rs. 26,990, to be precise) is just too much, given the recent price drop of the S II, which can be had for a smidge over 27K. What Samsung have done is shot themselves in the foot and rather unfortunately, the Galaxy R could be DOA, if they don’t fix the pricing soon. The phone hasn’t ‘officially’ launched yet, so perhaps we can hope for the best.  A little too late to the party
As you can see, it’s still a powerful phone and would have made a good buy, if the S II was still priced at 30K, but not now. Are you as bummed out about this, as we are? |
