Earlier this year Samsung launched their latest Samsung Galaxy S24 series. After the launch of this lineup, the price of last year’s flagship, Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, has come down quite a bit in India. Its starting price (for the 12GB RAM + 256GB storage model) has been reduced from Rs 1,24,999 to around Rs 1,00,000. Now it appears that Flipkart is offering a huge discount on the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra on their platform. If someone is looking for a flagship device under 1 lakh, then this is a golden opportunity for them. Let’s take a closer look at Flipkart’s offer.
Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra is available at huge discounts
According to the Flipkart listing, the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra smartphone with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage can currently be purchased for Rs 89,999. Also, there are many other offers, which can reduce the price even more. Samsung Axis Bank Signature/Infinite credit card will get Rs 2,500 or Rs 5,000 discount respectively. Customers using HSBC or ICICI ICICI Bank credit cards will get a discount of up to Rs.1,500 on the price (depending on the card).
Now the question is, can the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra be purchased as an alternative to the Galaxy S24 Ultra? The answer is at this price, of course. Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is priced at Rs 1,29,999 in India for the same storage model. In terms of hardware, it has the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, but compared to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 in the S23 Ultra, the performance margin isn’t obvious. The camera hardware is the same on both devices, but the Galaxy S24 Ultra has a larger 50-megapixel sensor for the 5x Periscope camera, which uses optical zoom to take 5x shots instead of the digital zoom used by the S23 Ultra.
A major advantage of the Galaxy S24 Ultra over the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra is its exclusive AI-powered features, introduced with Samsung’s One UI 6.1 software version. But that’s about to change soon, as the brand recently announced that these features will soon be coming to the Galaxy S23 lineup. So, it would be wise to opt for the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra right now, saving money on accessing Samsung’s latest features.
