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 such as Samsung’s Galaxy S25, the more affordable Galaxy S25 FE, and Apple’s forthcoming iPhone 17 could see their price tags slashed dramatically.
When does the sale kick off?
According to the e‑commerce giant’s promotional calendar, the Big Billion Days extravaganza is slated to launch on 9 October. The platform has already hinted that the Galaxy S25 might be listed for less than ₹60,000 once the sale goes live.
Potential savings on Samsung’s flagship
The 128 GB variant of the Galaxy S25 currently retails at ₹69,999. Should Flipkart’s festive pricing stay under the ₹60,000 threshold, shoppers could pocket roughly ₹10,000 in discount. The exact figure will, of course, depend on the final deal structure, including any additional bank offers or exchange schemes.
Galaxy S25 FE likely to get a price cut too
Flipkart’s teaser also points to a sub‑₹50,000 price for the Galaxy S25 FE. Its 128 GB version is presently priced at ₹54,999, meaning buyers might enjoy savings of about ₹5,000 or more, especially when stacked with bank cashbacks or trade‑in benefits.
iPhone 17 could join the discount parade
In a separate smartphone‑focused post, Flipkart hinted at a special price for the soon‑to‑be‑released iPhone 17, suggesting a figure in the “₹7X,XXX” range. With the base model currently starting at ₹99,900, this would represent a substantial markdown if the tease proves accurate.
Exact numbers have not been disclosed yet; shoppers will need to wait for the official launch announcements to see the final pricing, inclusive of any bank‑linked offers or exchange incentives.
More festive‑season smartphone deals are expected from Flipkart, Samsung and Amazon in the days leading up to the sale.
