[SOLVED] galaxy J6 too many price differences in online and market rates, need suggestion

[pakspin]

same mobile being sold at 3 different rates..

whatmobile and local plaza shops says its 33.5k with warranty

but Ishopping (dot) pk has option to buy without warranty just under 22k.. which is great price by the way.. another one available in warranty at same website for just under 26k..

is Ishopping reliable ? i heard they are selling fake copies of samsung ..

shophive and telemart both have the phone, but without warranty it's for 23,800 and with it for 33,200 on Telemart and 31,999 on Shophive. I've never bought anything from ishopping so can't comment but I have done business with Telemart and Shophive, have had good experiences with both.

Yes they are pretty reliable as i have bought Samsung Galaxy S8, Samsung J7 Max, HTC Desire 10 PRO from them, in the last couple of years and they also provide Cash on Delivery feature, so you're pretty secured!

thanks for replies.. [MENTION=24076]imadsani[/MENTION] the thing i wanted your opinion is that market rate with warranty of j6 is 33k and 31k after discount.. so the one ishopping is selling without warranty is 21k only.. that difference in price makes it suspicious as when i told the market dealer this rate he said it must be fake china copy one being sold online these days.. so when u bought s8 and j7 etc on those sites, was the difference between market n online price was this much ?

Actually 21-23k is the normal retail price for a Galaxy J6. It's for 600 AED in UAE.

Samsung Pakistan likes to slap on a huge profit margin with J series phones, which is why they're always around the 30k mark when they're not worth that much.

You can buy the 23k one if you want, no warranty, probably a Samsung Gulf imported model.

If you want a PTA approved phone with warranty, then get it for 31k. Choice is yours. The cheaper one is not fake.

Have you checked the price of the phone at the official Samsung store in Karachi? My guess is it will be around 33-34k just like the prices I see on Daraz.

The 23k version is probably smuggled and has no warranty, but to be honest, Samsung local warranty isn't worth the piece of paper it is printed on.

not karachi but checked in my city, they after discount giving for 31k with warranty. but if you think about it, whats point of paying 10k for covering a 21k phone ?? Moreover, phones these days and from reliable companies are rarely claimed and even if they go bad still paying 10k is no guarantee they will fix it, better pay 2k to repair guy who will fix it.

You are right mate, there is no need to pay extra 10K for local warranty! as you these new phones rarely go bad or faulty! and no to mention, the warranty claim process would be such an hassle and time consuming!

BTW i think you look at Nokia 6.1 at this price point for your father instead of Samsung J6!

its good but samsung has better resale value, plus better camera which is important. processor and ppi doesnt matter as its for my father.. he needs cam n battery. plsu J6 has super amoled display

so went with j6 without warranty ordered from ishopping.pk and cash on delivery was good option. Very good deal, Ishopping.pk saved me 10k as compared to market.. shipped !! thumbs up to them
