Overview
- The sales went live on Amazon India Friday and opened for early members on Flipkart then expanded to all shoppers on Saturday, with thousands of listings across phones, TVs, ACs and accessories.
- Marketed discounts reach as high as about 80% on accessories and large reductions on TVs and flagship phones, with Amazon showing the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra at roughly ₹89,999 after bank offers.
- Both platforms promote card‑linked instant discounts or cashback of up to about 10 percent, with Amazon citing maximum benefits up to ₹8,750 that apply only to eligible cards and transactions.
- Journalists warn that some headline percent‑offs can be misleading because sellers sometimes raise prices before a sale or use MRP as the reference price, so true savings depend on recent real selling prices.
- Reporters and vendors advise checking price‑history tools such as PriceDiff, PriceTrail, Keepa or CamelCamelCamel and reading bank and coupon terms before buying since final prices change with payment method, exchange and coupons.
