Where to Buy Samsung Galaxy SIII for Cheap? [India]

The dreadful prediction about unaffordable price tag of flagship product of Samsung was substantiated when they announced the availability of Samsung Galaxy SIII in India today. Previously, the press release depicted unusual number 43,180 as the price tag but later it was confirmed to be Rs. 42,5000. Unfortunately, those who had pre-ordered are left in agony since Galaxy SIII is already available at much lesser price at different online retail stores.

Android fanatics in India would be eagerly looking forward to add this gadget in their arsenal, but the ridiculously high price tag might be a huge set back for them. There is a mix feeling about the price of the Galaxy S3 in India. Most of the people (including me) thinks that the product is highly overpriced since HTC One X, which also comes under quad core family product, costs much less compared to it. Having said that, there is a small group of people who blames weakening rupees price in international market for such unrealistic price. Whatever the reason might be as an athirst users, we would never want to pay extra bucks to Sammy. Before we go further and dig possible places where you can buy Galaxy S3 for cheap, let’s take a quick look at its specs sheet (in-depth analysis is here and check out S3 accessories)
