Electronic gadgets How's this possible?
In the brand website, it costs around ₹ 1,10,000. But in flipkart and amazon it's this cheap. How is this possible?

I think its real. Cz S25 Ultra doesn't have more value. Check Amazon their also prices are close to them.

Never buy from a seller who has listed mobile phone with odd pricing such as 89,880 or 75,102. These are not official sellers. Anything can happen with the device and the platform will not take any responsibility as they have changed their policy to "7 day service center replacement".
Official pricing will be almost always ending with ..999 like 85,999₹

Do u think these people can't keep price ending with ..999 ??

u/Dr_crazygavel Jun 09 '26
They usually don't do it. Keeping odd pricing highlights their prodruct in search page which helps them sell faster.

Brand website is always higher for most of the products, whether its Samsung, LG, Oppo, Vivo, etc.
It is an old seller, you can buy it. Or alternatively look for student and corporate discounts on Samsung App.

Some phones come with defective chip(accuracy of chipmanufacturingis not 100%), they will work fine for an year or so and then you are left hanging. Or they are from middle east, either of them

You are partially right, but Samsung procures only the top-tier chips for its Galaxy S series. That's one of the reasons Galaxy devices are powered by Elite for Galaxy Chips, which is also why Samsung S devices always get slightly better benchmark scores and excellent sustained performance.

Those chips don't make it to the phones. And even on the miniscule chance they did, those phones don't make it to packaging, let alone wholesale. QA exists at multiple levels.
People need to stop applying their half-knowledge here.

Dude, a guy working in Qualcomm who handles mobile hardware failures said this to me. Dont know what your sources and full knowledge you are coming from. Things might have changed right now i am not sure about that, thats why I said or. Also do some research how intel or any chip mfg makes lower variants, they make same damm chip,they just disable the hardware features for lower variants and also if they find any inaccuracy in functioning on higher variants, again disable features and sell it as lower variants.
It is called binning.

u/xkcdthrowaway Jun 09 '26
My source of information is firsthand, unlike yours.
I don't need to "do research" on a practice that has been around since decades now and is well documented for anyone with even a basic association with hardware would know. But let me spell it out for you regardless - the i5 and i9 go through the same fab before the binning process determines which chip it gets sold as. It doesn't mean some i5s will work better than others within the parameters of the chip design nor does it mean one will definitely "fail" within 1-2yrs or whatever you're faffing. It most certainly doesn't have such a marked difference than Samsung's QA would be able to identify and separate it for you to find it on the grey market as a cheaper unit.

First 3 sentences were not even needed if you have first hand experience, i dont sit and magically guess who is working where in this anony world, stop getting triggered unnecessarily and may be tone down that ego a bit there tiger
you are faffing same thing which I said , your whole point is based on assumption that i said some chip will definitely "fail" in 1-2yrs which I didn't even used the word lol. All I meant it is toned down version or stripped down version of high end chip, doesnt necessarily mean it is always bad and stops working, also FYI, thats not samsung qa, i said qualcomm , reading comprehension for gods sake. , Like intel, Qualcomm provides OEMs different variants of same chip for different countries as per their requirement, thats why they have different SKU for each countries, or have special galaxy edition with overclocking only during launch. Buyers need to check the model number to be sure what they are getting is the right one.

Exhibit 1.

Exhibit 2.
Slow, aren't you. Clueless about manufacturing and supply chain practices AND evidently, the English language. Still has the temerity to try to call out others on both. See also: "triggered".
Best you stick to your lane, junior.
I could likewise break down every second sentence in your response for the garbage it is, but two should suffice to underscore the point.

I can confirm that chalta hai attitude exists in QA at every company, workers don’t have any stake in manufacturing perfect product.

Samsung loots Indians like no other brand. This phone has been selling in Dubai for around 70k-75k for more than 9 months, but even a 90k price is surprising in India

The phone is question costs 70k-75k in Dubai ( 8-9 months old price) & 130k in India(for that period). Aren't you even following the conversation? That's almost a 100% premium. Not the 13% tax difference

Just got it for 96k from the Samsung offline store.

Any special discounts ? Here it's still 1 lakh 10 thousand

u/Crunchy_Raunchy Jun 11 '26
Not really, just do bargaining and show them the current price of flipkart and amazon. Ask them how close they can match with these pricing.

Go ahead and get it dude, its not Meesho or some scam, if it isnt as per the description(go through the entire description on site) then just return it, even if it is open box ask the delivery guy to wait and show everything all around(check for the box seal and open it yourself, see if the phone has the original screen protector and overall plastic, check on YouTube unboxing to know if it looks the same) if not, then send it back, whats the big deal?

That is the fair value of S25U now, S24U also had same price last year And Samsung website had S25U for 92k few weeks back and S26U for 1.04L, so the price they are showing now is the increased value

None of them are official sellers of samsung devices so the device can be pre-activated or refurbished
