The recent budget for the fiscal year 2024-25 has brought significant changes to the pricing of Samsung phones in Pakistan.

With the government imposing an 18% sales tax on Samsung and other mobile devices, consumers are now facing higher costs for their favourite gadgets.

Samsung, known for its reliable and diverse range of smartphones, from budget-friendly to high-end models, has become a popular choice among Pakistanis. The brand's strong reputation for quality and innovation has made it a household name in the country.

However, the new tax regulations have affected the prices of several Samsung models, making them less accessible for many.

Here is a detailed comparison of the old and new prices for various Samsung models in Pakistan:

The increase in prices is a result of the government's efforts to reform various sectors, including the technology industry. While these reforms are aimed at boosting revenue and ensuring economic stability, they have also led to a rise in the cost of essential electronic goods.
