Galaxy s8 at Rs 65000 is it worth it

The Galaxy S8+ has a starting price of Rs 64,900. The increased price compared to the Galaxy S7's is not going down too well with many in India. But here is the thing, stop complaining: the fine things always come at a premium. And the Galaxy S8 is a fine thing. 
Yet, again it is much ado about nothing. It is not that there are no phones that are overpriced. But I don't believe the Galaxy S8 and the Galaxy S8+ are such phones. These are not cheap phones. In fact, they are ridiculously expensive phones in a country like India. But then so are the Google Pixel phones and Apple's iPhones. The Galaxy S8 and the Galaxy S8+ have a price that befits their brand and what they bring to the table. They are not meant to be affordable. More significantly, they play in a price segment where the price doesn't matter. More or less.
