Samsung Galaxy S5 Available For Rs 28,999

Samsung Galaxy S5 is now available at a price point that is almost closes to Nexus 5 in India. If you're still looking to grab the Galaxy S5 (though there will be a Galaxy S6 coming soon), you can head over to Flipkart and get this smart phone for Rs 28,999, which is much-much lower than its launch price of Rs 51,500.

The price cut makes it more than evident that Samsung wants to retain its previous flagships and keep it relevant for any consumer, who couldn't afford it earlier. Galaxy S5 is their latest S flagship to bear the price treatment. Earlier this month, Galaxy S4 started selling for as low as Rs 17,999 via another online seller, Amazon. As you might recall, Galaxy S5 didn't real catch the eye with its design and for that price, that's suicidal to say the least. Otherwise, you had a decent-powered device which matched up to the best in class.
