This dual pricing strategy started on May 1 and has quickly caught the attention of buyers across segments. So, read ahead to know the discount pricing of this flagship series and also the hiked prices of other Galaxy phones.

Budget Galaxy M And F Series Get Costlier
Samsung has raised prices by Rs 1,000 across several Galaxy M and F series phones. These increases apply to all variants and push the total price jump much higher compared to launch prices.
Here are some key changes:
- Samsung Galaxy M36 5G
- Launch price: Rs 16,499
- New price: Rs 21,999
- Total increase: Rs 5,500
- Samsung Galaxy F36 5G
- Launch price: Rs 16,499
- New price: Rs 21,999
- Total increase: Rs 5,500
- Samsung Galaxy M17 5G
- Launch price: Rs 12,499
- New price: Rs 16,999
- Total increase: Rs 4,500
- Samsung Galaxy M06 5G
- New price: Rs 12,499
- Samsung Galaxy F06 5G
- Launch price: Rs 9,499
- New price: Rs 12,499
- Total increase: Rs 3,000
These hikes show a clear trend. Budget 5G phones that were once available under Rs 10,000 are now moving well above that range. Rising component and chipset costs are likely driving this change.
Samsung’s mixed pricing move reflects the broader market trend. Budget phones are getting expensive, but premium devices are seeing aggressive offers to drive demand.
