Samsung raises Galaxy M47 5G prices in India, puzzling buyers
Technology
Samsung has surprised buyers by raising the prices of its brand-new Galaxy M47 5G in India, just a week after it hit Amazon.
Price hikes are not unusual in India's smartphone market right now, so this move has left many scratching their heads.
Samsung M47 base ₹32,999, top ₹41,999
All storage variants now cost much more: the base 6GB+128GB model jumped from ₹25,999 to ₹32,999, while the top-end 8GB+256GB version is up by ₹8,000 to ₹41,999.
Samsung hasn't given an official reason yet, but rising component costs are affecting the whole industry: other brands like Realme and Xiaomi have done similar hikes recently.
It's likely that those lower launch prices were just a limited-time intro deal.
The phone comes in Blaze Blue and Rogue Red if you're still interested.
