Price After GST Cut from 28% to 18% & Availability
This is a scenario analysis for India. If the ex-tax device price is treated with 28% GST, the tax-inclusive price equals Base × 1.28. With an 18% GST, it would be Base × 1.18. That represents about a 7.8% drop in the final price (1.18 ÷ 1.28 ≈ 0.922). For example, if a variant effectively lands near ₹71,000 with 28% GST included, a shift to 18% GST would place it around ₹65,400 (illustrative). Actual Indian pricing will depend on official local launch and tax treatment.
Availability: Global sales begin in mid-to-late November, with regional rollouts following via Redmagic’s official channels.
Discounts
Early-bird offers typically include limited-time bundle deals or small launch-window price cuts. Expect optional accessories or trade-in/financing promos depending on the market and channel. Specific discounts vary by region and retailer at launch.
Reviews / Market Response
Early hands-on coverage highlights the genuinely innovative liquid-cooling system and strong gaming performance. Benchmark previews indicate near-reference-level speed, with some reviewers noting minor gaps versus Qualcomm’s internal reference units—still firmly in flagship territory.
