Nokia has dropped the price of its 8.1 smartphone in India. The 4GB RAM + 64GB storage variant of the Nokia 8.1 now costs INR 18,572, opposed to its launch price of INR 26,998. And the 6GB RAM + 128GB storage variant now costs INR 22,349, opposed its launch price of INR 29,999. Compared to the original price, the 4GB + 64GB variant is now cheaper by INR 8,426, and the 6GB + 128GB variant is now cheaper by INR 7,650. The Nokia 8.1 is currently available with the above-mentioned discounted price on Amazon India. Do note that it isn’t confirmed yet if the price drop is permanent or temporary.
To recall, the Nokia 8.1 launched in India on December 11, 2018. However, at that time, the Nokia 8.1 was available in only one variant – 4GB RAM + 64GB storage configuration. A few months later, on February 1, Nokia launched the 6GB RAM + 128GB version of the Nokia 8.1 in India. Back then, the Nokia 8.1 seemed like a good choice for someone who is looking for a smartphone around INR 25,000. However, since then, a lot of smartphones have launched in the Indian market. And Nokia 8.1 with its price tag of INR 26,998 for the 4GB + 64GB version and INR 29,99 for 6GB + 128GB version didn’t a worthy buy. However, with this current price drop, the Nokia 8.1 seems like a decent option for consumers out there in search of a smartphone under INR 20,000.
