Samsung had launched its flagship smartphone, Galaxy S5 during MWC. It was launched in India on 11 April for Rs. 51,500. Soon after that Samsung offered Rs. 7,500 off on Galaxy S5 under buyback scheme which brings the price to Rs. 44,000. After that many online retailers started selling the device for Rs. 46,500 without any exchange offer.
Samsung has always denied the official price cut for Galaxy S5. But now Samsung is offering several types of schemes to lure customers. Check out the image below which shows several offers from Samsung. The Print ad was published in many local newspapers.
The above print ad is in Hindi. I will translate it into English. Samsung is offering three types of offers :
- Free pickup and drop service: If your Galaxy S5 have any problem then Samsung will offer free pickup and drop service. Samsung will also give one premium smartphone for standby use.
- One Time screen Replacement: If screen of galaxy S5 is broken or damaged, then Samsung will replace the screen of Galaxy S5 at just Rs. 990. The screen usually costs around Rs. 8,000-9,000.
- Exchange Offer: Samsung is offering Rs. 10,000 off if you exchange your old smartphone. If you buy Galaxy S5 under buyback then you will get it at Rs. 40,900.
Samsung is offering all these offers for Galaxy S5 buyers. Out of these three i like the screen replacement and exchange offer. It hurts when you accidentally broke your smartphone screen. I had broken once and it costs me around Rs. 8,500 and you how it feels when you pay that amount just for screen. Well you can replace your screen just once for Rs. 990, if you broke second time then you have pay full amount.
