Smartphone price hike: Samsung, Vivo and Poco hike prices by up to Rs 8,000, details

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.

Vivo hikes prices of T5 Pro, T5x, and T4 Lite

After raising prices of a bunch of smartphones a couple of weeks ago, Vivo has once again hiked prices. The company has now raised prices of the T5 Pro, T5x, and the T4 Lite. The Vivo T5 Pro now costs Rs 35,999, up from Rs 32,999 for the 8GB/128GB model. The 8GB/256GB variant has risen from Rs 35,999 to Rs 39,999.
