Flipkart and Samsung unveiled the Galaxy On8 – an
exclusive online version of the Galaxy J8. It will be available in Black and
Blue starting on August 6. The hardware of the two phones is identical,
including the RAM and storage (4GB / 64GB), so it comes down to the price.
The Galaxy On8 currently costs INR 17,000
(US$ 250/€ 210) compared to J8’s INR 18,000. That’s because of an INR 3,000
discount that Flipkart is currently offering. Yes, the On8 actually has a
higher MSRP, though we doubt we’ll see the discount go away - otherwise people
can just buy the regular version of the phone.
You can get an extra 10% off if you pay with an Axis
Bank Buzz credit card. Also, there are no cost EMI offers starting at INR 1,888
a month.
