The festive season is around the corner, and people are surely going to be looking for good deals on offer, both online as well as offline.
The good news is that this year online shopping brands have bestowed consumers with a slew of offers, that get further enriched with attractive cashback schemes from banks.
So, if you’ve been looking to upgrade your phone, or wanting to buy a new TV, or even a new pair of headphones, here are some of the deals that have caught our eye in the ongoing festive season sales.
Apple iPhone XR - Rs 43,999
The iPhone XR can be yours for as low as Rs 35,000 this week. It’s selling for under 45K, the 64GB version to be precise, but with cashback and exchange offers, you can get the XR at a pretty good deal. This offer is available on both Amazon and Flipkart.
OnePlus 7 - Rs 29,999
The phone was launched just a few months back, and if you’re not keen on spending over 35K for the OnePlus 7T, then the OP 7 is still a decent option worth buying at under 30K. Add to that, any further discount from bank (on card payment), could put the deal under 25K even. With a Snapdragon 855 processor on board, you should consider it.
Samsung Galaxy Note 9 - Rs 42,999
This phone came in 2018, but for under Rs 43,000, the Galaxy Note 9 is still a capable device, even though it packs a dated processor. If you’ve been looking for a phone with a stylus, and don’t want to shell out big money on the new Galaxy Note 10 then this deal is worth considering.
Bose Quiet Comfort 35 & Sony WH-1000MX3 - Under Rs 21,000
Bose and Sony are going up against each other, with both their high-end wireless headphones selling online this week for under 21K. For its overall capability, and noise cancelling prowess, it’s a no-brainer for those who’ve been looking to buying either Bose or Sony options.
Apple MacBook Air - Rs 98,990
The 2018 edition MacBook Air selling for under Rs 1 lakh! That’s happening via online deals in the country this week. Unlike the four-year-old model selling for under Rs 50,000 with outdated hardware, this version of MacBook Air is originally available for Rs 1,20,000 in the market. So, getting this Air variant for under a lakh is worth looking at.
Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K - Rs 3,999
Amazon upgraded its popular Fire Stick device, and it was launched at Rs 5,999.
But this week, the popular streaming device is available for Rs 3,999 and with its upgrade hardware and improved bundled remote, 4K tv users should consider this device.
Samsung Frame QLED TV - Rs 84,990
Call it the OnePlus TV effect, but Samsung surprised most of us, by slashing the price of its Frame QLED 4K TV in India from Rs 1.19 lakh to Rs 84,990. But that’s not all, with bank discounts on checkout, you can get this high-end TV for under 80K this week. At this price point, Frame TV is unique and offers good value for money.
The Not-So-Good Deals
There are quite a few deals worth grabbing this week, but even then we’ve come across few which don’t make sense.
- Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ launched for Rs 79,999 and Amazon claims to be selling at a discount of Rs 5,000. Not sure about that.
- The iPhone 7 Plus is available at Rs 31,999. When you can buy the OnePlus 7 for under 25k (with exchange) or even the iPhone XR for as low as Rs 32,000, would you really want to buy the 7 Plus?
- Redmi Note 5 Pro has few deals listed but with the Note 8 series about to launch, we would recommend against buying such an old device.
