Samsung has brought the Blue Coral variant of its Galaxy S7 edge smartphone to India. At the same time, the company has also introduced a new color variant, Black Pearl. The Galaxy S7 edge in Blue Coral color is available in India for Rs 50,900. The shipments for this new variant are set to begin from December 15 in India. It will be available at Samsung’s India e-store.
Samsung had introduced a Blue Coral variant for the Galaxy Note 7 but it did not make its way to India. As of now, the Galaxy S7 edge will be available in three color variants of Blue Coral, Black Onyx and Gold Platinum in India. The Silver Titanium variant of the Galaxy S7 edge has been removed from the company’s official website. Launching the new variant, Samsung in its official blog posted says, “The new Black Pearl Galaxy S7 edge follows the Blue Coral and Pink Gold editions released earlier this year. While those were largely inspired by calming, natural hues, Black Pearl was designed to be modern and striking.”
It will only be seen in select markets for now - like local market South Korea. The Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Black Pearl version will only be available in 128GB version.
