Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge 32 GB variant gets a price cut to Rs 35,900 in India ahead of S9 launch

The technology industry is gearing up for the launch of the Samsung **Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus** on 25 February at MWC 2018. Meanwhile, Samsung India has slashed the prices of nearly two-year-old Galaxy S7 Edge.

The discounted 128 GB model of the S7 Edge, however, will be sold only via offline mediums and will also include a cashback of Rs 5,000 on Paytm which can be availed by scanning a QR code. Samsung’s online India store does show the revised price for the 32 GB variant and is less than Amazon’s current price of Rs 38,900. The S7 Edge was launched at a price of Rs 50,900 for the 32 GB variant and Rs 56,900 for the 128 GB variant back in August 2016. We had reviewed the **Galaxy S7 Edge** back in 2016 and concluded that it was the “Android flagship to beat” at the time of its release. But it makes little sense to buy a two and a half-year-old flagship when you can invest in budget flagships such as the **OnePlus 5T** or mid-range devices such as the **Moto X4** that offer a better experience, are cheaper and pack relatively newer hardware.
