Samsung launched the Galaxy M21 in India before the COVID-19 lockdown in March. The device initially debuted for ₹12,999 and ₹14,999 for the 4GB + 64GB and 6GB +128GB respectively on Amazon India. The device was sold for ₹1,000 in offline stores as well as Samsung online store. 

Just like other phones, its price was also increased after the GST hike on mobile phones in the country. However, the online price was reduced a long time back but Samsung has slashed the offline price only now.

According to 91Mobiles, the offline prices of Galaxy M21’s 4GB + 64GB and 6GB +128GB storage configurations have been dropped by ₹500 each. Therefore, they can be now bought for ₹13,999  and ₹15,999, down from their previous price tags of ₹14,499  and ₹16,499 respectively.

What’s more interesting is that the Galaxy M21 can be now purchased on Amazon India for only ₹12,499  and ₹14,999 respectively. Buyers can also avail an extra 10% discount if they make transactions through HDFC bank debit/credit cards.

In case you do not know, Samsung introduced the Galaxy M series smartphones as an online exclusive series in India to offer better price to performance ratio products to compete against the likes of Xiaomi. But due to concerns raised by offline retailers, the company had to bring these handsets to offline as well, however, with slightly higher price tags.

Therefore, the best place to purchase Galaxy M series devices in India is Amazon India, the official online retailer for the series in the country.
