While the base variant of Samsung Galaxy S6 has been priced at Rs 49,990, the starting price for Galaxy S6 edge is Rs 58,900.
The pricing of the Samsung's new smartphones looks aggressive, with most flagships sporting Rs 50,000-plus price tags. However, what many may have missed is that Samsung Galaxy S6's launch price is actually lower than that of Galaxy S5's too.
Last April, Samsung Galaxy S5 hit stores at a price tag of Rs 51,500. This makes Galaxy S6 cheaper than its predecessor by Rs 1,600.
What's worth noticing here is that the South Korean manufacturer has used more premium materials (glass and metal) in Galaxy S6 compared to Galaxy S5 (all-plastic build). This basically means Samsung is footing a higher manufacturing bill for the new model compared to last year's flagship.
Samsung, of course, has not divulged the bill of materials yet, but we expect companies like iFixit to soon do a tear-down analysis of Galaxy S6 and give an estimate on the material costs involved.
Galaxy S6 is also priced cheaper than Apple iPhone 6, its main rival in the Indian smartphone market. Launched at Rs 53,500, the Apple smartphone saw its official price increase to Rs 56,000 earlier this month (post budget announcements).
