Should you buy these devices now?
The smartphone and tablet market is extremely volatile right now, and price hikes like these could continue as long as component costs remain unpredictable. We simply don’t know when prices will start settling again. You can also check out our story tracking all the latest price hikes and updated prices for major smartphones and tablets in India.
If you’ve been planning to buy a particular phone or tablet, it may make sense to buy it now rather than risk another price increase. If you’re not in a hurry, though, waiting a year or more could also work in your favour, especially if you can pick up the same device or a newer model during a major sale or with a good discount. For now, there’s no clear indication of when the market will return to normal, so it really comes down to how urgently you need the device.
