On the front page of the news paper The Times of India, Bhubaneswar, dated 04/01/2017 there is an advertisement of snapdeal showcasing "Samsung Galaxy J2 Pro" mobile phone. In that ad it has been mentioned that the phone had a Snapdragon 821 chip-set. But in reality that phone has Spreadtrum SC8830 chipset.

Snapdragon 821 is a very costly fast, flagship, high end chipsed where as Spreadtrum SC8830 is cheap, low end and slow one. The advertisement is propagating wrong and misleading information on the first page of popular newspaper.

I hereby attach the web link and photo of that advertisement.

The misleading information is in 9th line of first para of the ad.
Kindly see into this false propaganda and take necessary action.
Phones with Snapdragon 821 cost as high as Rs-60000/- as in Galaxy S7Edge, where as the Samsung J2 Pro cost Rs-9490/-


Thank you

The misleading ad
