Another day, another price hike. The smartphone industry is going through a difficult period at the moment due to the ongoing memory crisis. As demand for memory – RAM and NAND – for AI datacentres continues to grow, manufacturers are facing higher costs, forcing them to raise prices. Now, Samsung, Vivo, and Poco have all raised prices of certain smartphones.
The three phonemakers have revised smartphone prices across several models, with increases ranging from Rs 1,000 to Rs 8,000. The sharpest jump is for Samsung’s Galaxy M47, which has gone up by as much as Rs 8,000 within a week of going on sale.
India Today Tech has reached out to Samsung, Vivo, and Poco for a comment. The story will be updated as and when they respond.
Do note that a couple of weeks ago, Nothing, Realme, and Vivo had raised prices.
