Samsung Malaysia has revised the retail prices of some of its smartphones ahead of the festive season.

Four of Samsung’s higher-end smartphones will have their retail prices permanently reduced, while a new lower-end device has also been introduced. These devices include Samsung’s two flagship smartphones, the Galaxy S5 and the Galaxy Note 3. [Update: 11:50am, July 18] Samsung has now added a new device in the price revision, which is the Galaxy Note 3 Neo. The full list of the price revisions are as follows:

In addition to these price cuts, Samsung also took the chance to remind Malaysian consumers of its latest affordable smartphone available in the market, the Galaxy Core 2.

This device is powered by a 1.2GHz quad-core processor with 768MB of RAM, and features 4GB of internal storage with a microSD card slot that supports up to 64GB cards, a 4.5-inch 480 x 800 display, 5MP rear camera and a 2000mAh battery.
