South Korean tech giant Samsung had launched its Galaxy C9 Pro smartphone in the Indian tech market in January this year with a price tag of Rs. 36,900. Just a couple of months after launch, Samsung has reportedly announced a price cut for its Galaxy C9 Pro smartphone by Rs. 5,000, according to Mahesh Telecom, a Mumbai-based handset retailer. Mahesh Telecom on Saturday shared this announcement on its official Twitter page and Facebook account. The Tweet reads, “#SamsungC9Pro now available for Rs.31900/- only #PriceDrop.” As per the tweet, the Samsung Galaxy C9 Pro will now be available at a discounted price of Rs. 31,900 in the country from Saturday onwards, which is much lesser than its earlier price. But, as of now, there is no official confirmation about the price cut as the e-commerce giant Flipkart is still showing somewhat less than the actual price for Samsung Galaxy C9 Pro.
