Just a few weeks ago, Apple kicked off a mega promotional sale campaign offering up to Rs 23,000 flat discount on the iPhone XR. One of its main objectives was to sway flagship phone consumers away from Samsung and OnePlus brands in India. Now, the South Korean smartphone-maker, which introduced world's biggest mobile experience (in Bengaluru) and the largest phone manufacturing unit (in Noida) has announced huge lucrative deals on the company's flagship Galaxy S10 series.

Samsung India has doubled the exchange bonus on the Galaxy S10 line. Prospective consumers buying Galaxy S10e will get an exchange bonus of Rs 4,000 against the previous offer Rs 2,000.
