The decrease in prices is a response to challenges in meeting sales targets and increased competition, both locally and globally. Efforts are underway to stabilise the market by reducing rates. However, inconsistent government policies have been cited as a hindrance to the growth of the mobile phone manufacturing industry in Pakistan.

The decision to lower prices is influenced by positive economic indicators and the desire to stimulate consumer spending. Samsung, a major player in the Pakistani Android market, has also reduced its prices, offering relief to consumers amidst inflation.
