Samsung’s most popular high end android smartphone Galaxy S2 receives a price cut here in India. The price cut is of Rs 3,000. Initially most of the online stores and local retail stores prices Galaxy S2 at Rs 30,900 with some free perks like memory cards but now India’s most popular online shopping site Flipkart priced this phone at Rs. 27,900.
At this price there is no competition from any known mobile company for Galaxy S2. Though there are some options available in the form HTC Sensation and Atrix 2 from Motorola but they are really not up to the mark as compared to Galaxy S2. Sensation although featuring a 1.2 Dual Core processor and ICS update is plagued by some serious problems like missed touch, overheating, non responsive screen over time etc.
It will be really interesting to know that why Samsung is doing all these price cuts. One possible answer is that they are making way for their next flagship model Galaxy S3 which will be a direct competitor to HTC One X and upcoming iPhone 5. Also one can expect a price cut for Samsung’s other phone also especially Galaxy Note which is presently retailing at a massive price of Rs. 32,700 + some free perks.
Samsung had already released the ICS update for Galaxy S2 in some countries and regions. It is also important to know that the version of Galaxy S22 retailing in India presently is i9100G which is slightly inferior as compared to it’s international version i9100 mainly in terms of GPU i.e chipset.
