Samsung, the electronics giant, just announced that it will launch the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge mobile telephones in India this coming March 2016. The key point here, of course, is that the price is reported to be approximately 49,000 Rupees for the Galaxy S7 and 55,000 Rupees for the S7 Edge.
Why is this significant? Well, if we look back on our blog entry of just a few days ago, we wrote about the new mobile telephone introduced by the company called “Ringing Bells” called the Freedom 251 phone which sold for just 251 Rupees! Unbelievable but true. Samsung is selling a mobile telephone for 49,000 Rupees and Ringing Bells is selling a mobile telephone for just 251 Rupees. No wonder there is such a commotion these days in the mobile telephone world. The price for the Samsung mobile phone is 195 X the price for the Ringing Bells mobile phone!
We at IndiaFreelancers.com have been watching with great interest and amusement (?) to see what finally happens with these “mobile phone wars” as it were. To charge a little less is one thing, but to charge 195 times less is unbelievable – yet that is exactly what Ringing Bells proposed to do.
Whatever happens with the “mobile phone wars”, it will be important to watch. No one would pay 49,000 Rupees if they can just pay about 300 Rupees for a decent mobile telephone. But its not that easy. The authorities in India are investigating Ringing Bells. They want to make sure that the company is legitimate and that they are able to deliver what they say they can deliver.
Please keep watching this blog. We will keep an eye on these things for you and will keep you informed.
