Saholic claims to deliver the Samsung Galaxy S5 by March 7th.
Samsung’s new flagship smartphone ‘Galaxy S5’ is scheduled to be available in 150 countries starting April. The smartphone, however, has already made appearance on the Indian e-commerce retailer – Saholic.com – with price tag of Rs. 45,500. Saholic has listed the 16GB version of the Galaxy S5, and promises delivery of the handset by March 7th.
According to reports, the Galaxy S5 price in India for the 16GB variant is lower than retailer listings from the UK and Germany, which is about $1000. Lower price indicates Samsung wants to compete with other flagship smartphones in this segment. LG just launched its G2 LTE version in India for Rs. 46,000. Samsung is expected to price its flagship around the same price.
Listing of the Galaxy S5 comes shortly after several e-commerce sites dropped price of the Samsung Galaxy S4 to Rs. 30,000. Samsung recently launched a buy back scheme for the Galaxy S4, offering a discount of Rs. 10,000 discount.
