After making a recent official entry into the Pakistani market this month, Samsung Galaxy Note 8 has made a startling decision (after a few weeks of its entry) of lowering the price of the handset.
The company has reduced the price of Galaxy Note 8 from Rs. 108,999 to Rs. 99,999.
The device was launched globally on 23rd August and reordering of the phone was started in early September. Company claims that the preordering of the device to cross 1500 units in a small period of time.
At the launch event of Galaxy Note 8, it was declared that the number of preordering was grown to 3000 units from 1500. And the company expressed to be hopeful about the future of device in Pakistan.
Though the team Samsung Pakistan was touting a more than the expected response at the time of pre-orders, this change in the price is raising a lot of question as to why the company has drastically lowered it before the phablet’s launch was not even a month old in the country.
Less than expected Sale?
The new device Galaxy Note 8 is a perfect match made for the multi-taskers but is used to cost an absolute fortune putting many Note lovers off.
Now, one of the explanations for this sudden change in the price of the smartphone can be that the Samsung has hit a dead wall out of the less than desired sales of the device and is looking to gain more customers by giving a decreased price.
Attracting Customers with Decreased Price?
It has been noted that the price tag was also bigger than its predecessors just like the size of the Galaxy Note 8.
Out of such a high price, many potential customers felt that they could not afford the smartphone. So, it’s a possibility that the company decreased it in an attempt of including a range of buyers in its expanding Note family.
The people who have bought the device for its full price will not be happy about the company’s sudden change of price.
The company had deliberately devalued the retail of the smartphone for which the users paid a money and in return, they did not even get the valuable products for pre-ordering the device unlike in other parts of the globe. This and the fact that they could have saved a lot of fortune ought to make many people feel hurt.
