From Samsung to Apple iPhone XR, smartphone firms shower discounts in April

Apple will be offering a discount of Rs 17,000 on the maximum retail price of its new iPhone XR models across sales channels

After a three-month lull, premium and mid-range smartphone makers are ready to lure consumers with jaw-dropping offers and discounts in April. From Samsung to Oppo, OnePlus to Honor, all major players in these segments are coming up with 20-25 per cent discounts and cashback offers, while Apple is slashing prices of iPhone XR this month.

Take Samsung, for example. The archrival of Apple globally, as well as in India, has initiated a special offer this week. Its Galaxy Note 9, directly competing with latest iPhone models, now comes at an effective price of Rs 61,900 for the base model (128GB).
