The handset has been spotted on Indian import-export website Zauba. The listing informs that the  Galaxy A8 (SM-A810F) is currently being shipped from South Korea to New Delhi. The site also reveals that the smartphone is priced at Rs. 13,635. Before you get too excited, know that the disclosed price is mainly for customs purposes and might not be the price at which the handset is sold in the country.

To recall, back in September the Samsung Galaxy A8 was launched in South Korea at KRW 649,000 ($583 approx). Evidently, the price difference is glaring and therefore should be taken with a pinch of salt.
