Foldable phones fall below 60,000 rupees for the first time

Foldables have been a luxury for years. This week, Vega and Halcyon both cut prices by roughly a quarter, bringing the cheapest to 58,999 rupees.

The cheaper models trade the thinnest hinge for a thicker body and a smaller outer screen. Both keep an IPX4 rating and a two-year warranty on the hinge.

Analysts expect more cuts before the festival sales. If you can wait, watch the first week of next month.
