Online the price is 26k or less, you need to bargain more if you are going to buy it locally.

Any reason y??Do they plan on discontinuing this range??
Ps:-Still interested to buy,just wondering y this sudden big drop in price..

 

[debarshi]

Told you, anyway they are launching so many new phones, one every month, like SL, T, J, and what not....
So they have to cut prices as they go....... for their older models at least (I smell something like AMD's plans of price cuts for the 7 series)

Nothing like that. As a product gets older, it's price has to drop. S3 was selling at 36k now its down to 30. If Xperia S was still 28, who would buy it when S3/One X is 2k more ?
