The year’s most unique smartphones, Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4 and Galaxy Z Fold4, is now more affordable than ever. India’s largest consumer electronics brand has announced massive discounts on its foldable flagships for the holiday season.
We are talking about big discounts. Fold4, priced at Rs 154,999, will be available at Rs 146,999 inclusive of Rs 8,000 bank cashback or Rs 8,000 upgrade bonus. Galaxy Z Fold4 customers can also purchase Galaxy Watch4 Classic BT 46mm, worth Rs 34,999, for just Rs 2,999. Galaxy Z Flip4, priced at Rs 89,999, will be available at an effective price of Rs 82,999, inclusive of bank cashback of Rs 7,000 or an upgrade bonus of Rs 7,000. Customers buying Flip4 can also purchase Galaxy Watch4 Classic BT 46mm at the reduced price.
There are two big upgrades to the Fold4 this year.The first move involves bringing Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, which is the most powerful processor you can find on an Android phone. But power alone cannot win the game.
Power consumption needs to be kept in check without making performance suffer. Second, on the software front there have been important changes. The offers (live till December 25) are applicable on both online and offline platforms, including Samsung.com, Amazon, Flipkart and select retail stores.
Those looking to buy a flagship Samsung phone without getting into the foldable space, the Galaxy S22 Ultra, priced at Rs 109,999, can be bought for Rs 102,999 with Rs 5,000 bank cashback or Rs 7,000 upgrade bonus. Galaxy S22 Ultra customers can also purchase Galaxy Watch4 BT 44mm, worth Rs 26,999, at just Rs 2999.
There is an additional 10 per cent cashback across products, over and above all the offers using the new Samsung Axis Bank Credit Card.
The number of Galaxy Z Fold and Galaxy Z Flip smartphones sold for enterprise use has more than doubled year on year. From January to October 2022, the number of foldable smartphones Samsung contracted to enterprise customers increased by 105 per cent compared to the same period in 2021.
