With the recently-announced 50% hike in GST rates on mobile phones, Apple and Samsung have followed in the footsteps of Xiaomi to increase the prices of their smartphones in India.
According to reports, all the iPhone models selling in the country have become costlier. However, Samsung has so far increased the prices of its Galaxy S-series and M-series only.
As part of the latest price revision, Samsung's newly-launched S20 flagship phones have become costlier by up to Rs. 4,901. The standard S20, which debuted at Rs. 66,999, now costs Rs. 70,500.
