Samsung appears to have slashed the pricing of two mid-range smartphones - the Galaxy J7 Pro and Galaxy J7 Max in India. This comes a month after the price cut of the Galaxy J7 Nxt in the country. We can expect the new pricing to be reflected in the coming days as Amazon India and Samsung Shop have listed these two models at the old price point for now.

Going by a tweet posted by the well-known Mumbai-based retailer Mahesh Telecom, the Galaxy J7 Pro and Galaxy J7 Max have received a price drop of Rs. 1,000 and Rs. 2,000 respectively. The Galaxy J7 Pro listed online for Rs. 19,900 is said to be available at Rs. 18,900. On the other hand, the Galaxy J7 Max priced at Rs. 16,900 would be priced at Rs. 14,900 after the price cut. Apart from the tweet, there is no official confirmation about the price cut for now from Samsung.

Samsung Galaxy J7 Pro and Galaxy J7 Max were unveiled back in June last year. At the time of their announcement, these smartphones were priced at Rs. 20,900 and Rs. 17,900 respectively. While the Galaxy J7 Pro was one of the bestselling models, the Galaxy J7 Max was considered overpriced for the specifications and features it came bundled with.

Paytm cashback offer

In addition to this price cut, the tweet also notes that the Galaxy J7 Pro is eligible to get Rs. 2,000 cashback from Paytm. However, this is an offline exclusive offer. Unfortunately, the Galaxy J7 Max is not subjected to any such offer.

Support for Samsung Pay

The highlight of these mid-range smartphones is the support for Samsung Pay for the Galaxy J7 Pro and Samsung Pay Mini for the Galaxy J7 Max. With this feature, these phones were the first ones in the Galaxy J series to arrive with the payment support. Not to mention that this feature has been rolled out to many mid-range and budget Galaxy J series and Galaxy On series smartphones now.
