Samsung has just launched the Galaxy A6 and the Galaxy A6+ smartphones in India, which start at Rs. 21,990 and go head-to-head against the likes of the Nokia 7 Plus.

The Galaxy J6 has been priced at Rs. 13,990 for its base (3/32 GB) variant, while its 4GB+64GB variant will be available at Rs. 16,490. The dual camera-equipped Galaxy J8 has been priced at Rs. 18,990, and will take on Xiaomi’s Redmi Note 5 Pro.
Samsung has partnered with Paytm to offers a cashback of Rs. 1,500 on both the devices for purchases made using an ICICI Bank credit or debit card. Additionally, a ‘One time Screen Replacement Offer’ from Samsung is also on the table if the Galaxy J6 or the J8 is purchased before June 20.
