Last month, Samsung had hiked the pricing of its smartphones like Galaxy M21 and Galaxy A50s in the previous month after the government of India confirmed an increase in GST rate. Now, both handsets have received price cut in the country.
With the hike in GST rate, the Galaxy M21 smartphone variants such as 4 GB RAM + 64 GB storage and 6 GB RAM + 128 GB storage were selling for Rs. 14,222 (~$188) and Rs. 16,329 (~$216), respectively since last month. The 4 GB and 6 GB RAM variants of the M21 have received price cuts now. They are now selling for Rs. 13,199 (~$174) and Rs. 15,499 (~$204), respectively. The Galaxy M21 was made official in March this year.
As far as Galaxy A50s is concerned, the pricing of its 4 GB RAM + 64 GB storage and 6 GB RAM + 128 GB storage variants had increased to Rs. 21,070 (~$278) and Rs. 26,900 (~$355), respectively. The new pricings of these models are Rs. 18,599 (~$245) and Rs. 20,651 (~$273). The A50s phone was unveiled in September in India.
The Galaxy M21 and Galaxy A50s are listed with their revised pricings on the official Samsung India online store. The government of India has extended the COVID-19 lockdown period until May 17 in the country. Hence, the deliveries of the above-mentioned smartphones are expected to be carried in all regions of India once the lockdown period ends.
