Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge has received a price cut in India. While the Galaxy S7 Edge 32GB variant is now available for purchase at Rs. 35,900, its 128GB version is at Rs. 37,900.

The MRP of the Galaxy S7 Edge 32GB variant is Rs. 50,900 since August 2016, whereas the MRP of the Galaxy S7 Edge 128GB variant is at Rs. 56,900. Prior to the price drop, the 32GB and 128GB variants have been available for as low as Rs. 41,900 and Rs. 43,900 online, respectively. The revised pricing was first report by an established Mumbai-based retailer, but Gadgets 360 has received independent confirmation of the move from Samsung. Offline prices prior to the drop were Rs. 38,900 and Rs. 40,900, respectively. Notably, the new price for the 32GB variant is also visible on the Samsung India Shop online store, though the 128GB variant still bears a Rs. 43,900 price on the Samsung online store.
