The leaders in Smartphone, Samsung have decided to up their game further a notch fearing the rise in the appreciation of the rival brand Apple with their latest iPhone 5. They have further reduced the prices of the flagship mobiles, Galaxy Note II and Galaxy SIII.

The Samsung Galaxy SIII which is officially priced at Rs 29,480 for the 16GB variant and available on the online shops for as low as Rs 27,599. The Note II which was earlier available for Rs 35,600 is now being sold for Rs 34,900.

Both these phones earlier received an official price slash only in December. This move could mean something other than a market strategy against rivals but the launch of the rumored Samsung Galaxy S IV getting closer than anticipated. Smartphones like Apple iPhone 5, Nokia Lumia 920, HTC Butterfly and the upcoming BlackBerry Z10 would have a stiffer competition from the flagship Samsung mobiles now.
