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. At the same event, Samsung also lifted the covers from the new Galaxy J6 and the Galaxy J8 smartphones that will soon be available in India in blue, black and gold color options.
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.

The device features 3/4 GB of RAM and 32/64 GB of internal storage, paired with an octa-core Exynos 7 series processor. The Galaxy J6 boots Android 8.0 Oreo and features a 3,000 mAh battery.
In the imaging department, the smartphone is equipped with a 13MP (f/1.9) rear camera and an 8MP (f/1.9) selfie camera, both of which are accompanied by an LED flash.
