New Delhi – Flipkart has begun dropping hints about the smartphone bargains it plans to showcase during the upcoming Big Billion Days 2026 event. Early teasers suggest that flagship models from Samsung and Apple could see their price tags slashed dramatically, giving Indian shoppers a chance to snap up premium devices at unusually low rates.
When does the sale start?
The e‑commerce giant has confirmed that the Big Billion Days extravaganza will kick off on 9 October 2026. In the lead‑up, the platform has been posting promotional graphics that outline the expected price brackets for a few high‑end phones.
Samsung Galaxy S25 – a possible sub‑₹60 000 deal
Current listings show the 128 GB variant of the Galaxy S25 at ₹69,999. Flipkart’s teaser, however, hints that the device could be offered for **under ₹60,000** during the festive window. If the lower figure holds true, shoppers stand to save roughly ₹10,000 off the present retail price, although the exact discount will depend on the final offer, bank promos, and exchange schemes.
Galaxy S25 FE – targeting the ₹50 000 mark
The fan‑favoured S25 FE is also slated for a price cut. Its 128 GB version is currently priced at ₹54,999, but Flipkart’s preview suggests a sale price below ₹50,000. That could translate into savings of at least ₹5,000, with additional reductions possible via bank‑linked coupons or trade‑in benefits.
Apple iPhone 17 – could break the ₹70 000 barrier
In a separate post focused on Apple, Flipkart hinted at a “special price” for the iPhone 17 in the ₹7X,XXX range. The base model currently retails for ₹99,900, meaning the upcoming sale could shave off a substantial chunk of the price tag, potentially bringing the device into a more attainable bracket for many Indian consumers.
“Exact numbers will be revealed only when the sale goes live, along with bank discounts and exchange offers that could further lower the effective cost,” the platform’s promotional material reads.
What’s next?
Flipkart, Samsung and Amazon have all indicated that additional smartphone offers will be rolled out in the days leading up to the event. Shoppers are advised to keep an eye on official announcements to lock in the best possible deal.
