Samsung Galaxy S21 FE was announced on the 4th of January. Initially, the price in Pakistan was noticeably higher than the S20 FE. This was due to the higher dollar rate and PTA taxes. The same was the case with A52s 5G. When the Galaxy A52s launched in Pakistan, it was also priced higher than what should have been the right value. However, the A52s 5G received a price cut as it was not imported anymore. Samsung started manufacturing the A52s and some other models as well in Pakistan. This made the A52s 5G an automatic choice for anyone looking for a phone priced around 70k PKR.
S21 FE Made In Pakistan!
Recently, an image of a Pakistani retail box of the S21 FE has emerged on the internet. This image is a proud sight for all Pakistanis. It shows that the S21 FE has been manufactured in Pakistan by Samsung via Lucky Motor Co. This is amazing news for those thinking to buy an S21 FE. I hope the price is slashed like with other models that were manufactured in Pakistan.
This news is important for the future of Samsung in Pakistan as well. If Samsung has begun manufacturing a top-end phone like S21 FE, hence, we can expect good news for the S22 prices as well. The S22 series might be manufactured in Pakistan. Finally, we could have amazing prices for Samsung flagships in Pakistan. However, it remains to be seen how big a price cut will the S21 FE receives.
I hope other brands follow suit as well. Brands like Xiaomi and Realme have started working on their production sites in Pakistan. I hope phones like Xiaomi 12 series and the Realme GT series are made in Pakistan. Consequently, the consumers will enjoy flagship phones at reasonable prices. At last, the high import duties imposed by the government seem to be working. Brands are surely focusing on building production plants in Pakistan.
