iPhone 11 to Poco X2: List of smartphones that recently got expensive in India

The Goods and Services Tax (GST) Council announced a hike in the rate of tax on mobile phones effective April 1, 2020. After the revision, phones are now being charged at 18 per cent GST instead of 12 per cent. With the increase in the tax, smartphones were bound to get expensive and we can clearly see the effect across the brands from Apple and Samsung to Poco, Xiaomi, and Realme.

Apart from the GST hike, prices of some phones have also been affected by other reasons such as supply chain issues amid the Covid-19 lockdown. We are listing down the phones which got expensive after the tax revision.
