Galaxy A80 goes on pre-order; Samsung announces cash-back and no-cost EMI offers
Earlier last week, South Korean smartphone maker, Samsung, launched the Galaxy A80 in India. After months of being teased, the phone was silently launched in India making it the latest entrant to Samsung’s A lineup of phones in the country.
While the phone brought with itself impressive specs, including a rotating triple camera set-up with 48-Megapixel lens along with a 6.7-inch FHD+ Super AMOLED display and Snapdragon 730G Octa-Core processor, its price left fanboys a little disappointed.
The phone has now been announced to go on sale with the company taking pre-orders for it and offerings some interesting deals and offers. The Galaxy A80 has been priced at Rs 47,990 in India with Samsung offering an assured 5 percent cash back on the Samsung Galaxy A80, alongside no-cost EMI.
There’s also an offer that provides screen replacement at a discounted price in the future. The phone is a Flipkart exclusive and the platform has already started to accept pre-orders for the phone with some additional offers and discounts on the Samsung Galaxy A80 prior to its first sale.
Galaxy A80 will go on sale from August 1 across all retail stores, e-Shop, Samsung Opera House and all major leading online channels. It will be available in three beautiful and stunning colours- Ghost White, Phantom Black and Angel Gold.
