The first report comes from Mumbai-based Manish Katri of Mahesh Telecom, who has revealed the same price-tag even before the India announcement of the phone and has a decent track record with such revelations. Other report is from NDTV Gadgets, which states that it has confirmed the pricing from Samsung India directly, which has noted that Galaxy S5 will indeed have a best buy price of INR 51,500.
To remind you, Samsung Galaxy S5 is set to go on sale on April 11 in the country along with rest of the world (apart from South Korea, where it is already on sale). The phone features a 5.1-inch full HD Super AMOLED display, Exynos 5 Octa processor, 2GB of RAM, 16MP rear camera and KitKat.

And suddenly, the GS4 at ~27K starts making sooo much more sense. In any case, the price of this one is going to be under 40K in a few months time. Not that I could still afford it LOL!
typo it should be March 27, not April 27
Thanks for pointing that out Kush, fixed it now..
I don’t understand Samsung. Instead of launching it at such a ridiculous price and then reducing it every month why not launch it at a reasonable price and maintain the brand value. Apple does this so much better. Only one price drop a year. I feel sorry for people who’ll get it at this price.
Cheap plastic in high price tag of 51 k !!!
51K for cheap plastic and a non-innovative-with-loads-of-bloatware UI. I don’t remember when Samsung did anything new with touchwiz. Pump up the hardware specs, add a couple of useless apps and flood the market with advertisements.
