Samsung Galaxy M01 Core now priced under Rs 5,000 in India

Samsung Galaxy M01 Core entry-level phone gets a new price cut this week. The device running on Android Go platform is now available starting from Rs 4,999 in the market. As you might be aware, the Galaxy M01 Core comes in 1GB and 2GB RAM variants. But with the announcement of Android 11 Go, it was made clear that 1GB RAM phones will not get the update.

This could have prompted Samsung to clear the stocks of the phone. Which is why you can get the Galaxy M01 Core for Rs 4,999 and the 2GB RAM variant for Rs 5,999. The revised prices are applicable on Samsung’s website as well as Amazon India. Samsung launched the Galaxy M01 Core as its new entry-level Android Go smartphones in India.
