Price cuts for Samsung Galaxy S3 and Samsung Galaxy Note 2 in India

Good news for Samsung phone buyers in India. Two of the Samsung's most popular smartphones, Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note 2 are getting price cuts here in India. Now, both the smartphones are available at a price much lower than their official cost. 

Samsung Galaxy S3 16GB is now available at Rs 29,480 while at some places, the same is available ar Rs 27,499. The phone was launched officially in May2012 at the price tag of Rs.43,000 and from then till date, it has been one of the top sellers in smartphones. Over 30 million Samsung Galaxy S3 smartphones have been sold till date. The last price cut for Galaxy S3 was made in Dec2012.

One the other hand, Samsung Galaxy Note 2 is now available at Rs 35,600 while it was originally launched at a price tag of Rs 39,900. Some online retailers are retailing the device for Rs 34,900. No doubt, Note 2 is another successful Android device from Samsung. Within two months of its launch, Note 2 sales rose to 5 million mark worldwide...an amazing feat !!

A question comes to the mind - Why price cuts from Samsung all of a sudden? 

One of the major reasons for the same is the sudden spurt in the sales of Apple products in India. Apple fetched a sale of over 300% in last 3 months in India which is what could be a matter of concern for Samsung and other mobile vendors in India. Apple is getting aggressive with its extensive advertising and marketing campaign for its iPhone and has started selling its iPhone 5, iPhone 4S and iPhone 4 with EMI options thus making it a lot easier for people to buy the same.

Apple is also planning to launch iPhone 5S in the middle of this year....that could really heat up the competition...!!

Leaked Samsung Galaxy S4 Rendering in Sleek New Design

Today morning I came across this picture on one of my friend's facebook profiles. As you see in the image below, its Samsung Galaxy S4. The image was originally twitted by user named tamerallyy. Also, the leaked image was discussed on androidcommunity.com.

Anyways, fake or real...these leaks have added to the suspense of Galaxy S4. What exactly would it be? Would specifications be same as mentioned in the image below or Is it different? The body here appears to be metallic...kind of aluminum built. Is it the real Galaxy S4??

Whatever it is....we will have to wait till April 2013 before any official announcement is made on Samsung Galaxy S4. Till then, we have to content ourselves with these leaks..!!
