Samsung is going to launch its upcoming Galaxy S21 series on 14th January this year. Recently, a piece of news has gone official from Samsung India, saying that Samsung has dropped the prices of the Galaxy S20, Galaxy S20+, and the Galaxy S20 Ultra in India to make room for the upcoming Galaxy S21 series.

Samsung had launched its Galaxy S20 series in India in February 2020 with the following price tags of INR 66,999 (around $913) for the Galaxy S20, INR 73,999 (around $1,008) for the Galaxy S20+, and INR 92,999 (around $1,267) for the Galaxy S20 Ultra.

But as per the recent “drop-down” pricing, the Galaxy S20 costs INR 49,999 (around $681), the Galaxy S20+ costs INR 56,999 (around $776), and the Galaxy S20 Ultra costs INR 76,999 (around $1,049).

So, if we compare the price tags, it is a big price drop of a whopping INR 17,000 for the Galaxy S20 and the Galaxy S20+, and INR 16,000 for the Galaxy S20 Ultra. It should not have much complexity regarding why Samsung dropped the price of its previous year’s flagship lineup with a big margin. As the Samsung Galaxy S21 series is going to be the next flagship lineup of the company and to keep the price tag similar to the previous price tags of the Galaxy S20, Samsung had to drop the price tags of the S20 series.
