Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime 2 gets a price cut; listed for Rs. 11,990

Lately, Samsung is revising the cost of its mid-range smartphones in India. This could be an attempt taken by the South Korean tech giant to regain the lost foothold due to the emergence of Chinese brands such as Xiaomi. Today, the brand is back in the headlines for slashing the cost of the Galaxy J7 Prime 2.

Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime 2 was launched in India in March for Rs. 13,990. Last month, the device received a price cut of Rs. 1,000 taking its cost down to Rs. 12,990. Now, it looks like it has received another price cut and is available for Rs. 11,990. The official Samsung online store has listed the smartphone for the new pricing in two colors - Black and Gold.

In addition to the price cut, the device is listed with attractive exchange offers and EMI payment options starting Rs. 1,998 per month.

Price cuts on other Samsung phones

The Galaxy J7 Prime 2 is not the only one to have received the price cut. Early in July, the Galaxy J2 Duo, J7 Nxt J2 (2018) and J2 (2017) got their prices slashed. Yesterday, we came across a report suggesting that the Galaxy J7 Duo received yet another price cut in a month's time.
