New Delhi – Flipkart has begun dropping hints about the handset bargains shoppers can expect during its upcoming Big Billion Days 2026 extravaganza. Early teasers suggest that Samsung’s flagship Galaxy S25 series and Apple’s iPhone 17 will see their price tags trimmed considerably.
When does the sale kick off?
The e‑commerce giant has confirmed that the Big Billion Days 2026 sale will launch on 9 October. In the lead‑up, the platform posted promotional graphics that outline provisional price points for a handful of premium phones.
Galaxy S25 – a possible sub‑₹60,000 deal
Currently, the 128 GB variant of the Galaxy S25 retails at ₹69,999. Flipkart’s teaser indicates that the device could be listed for under ₹60,000 during the festival window, potentially delivering a discount of roughly ₹10,000 for early‑bird buyers. The exact reduction will hinge on the final offer, which may also be bolstered by bank‑cashback schemes and exchange incentives.
Galaxy S25 FE – aiming for a sub‑₹50,000 price
The more affordable S25 FE model, presently priced at ₹54,999 for its 128 GB version, is rumored to dip below the ₹50,000 threshold. If the speculation holds true, shoppers could pocket savings of at least ₹5,000, with additional discounts possible through partner banks and trade‑in programs.
iPhone 17 – could break the ₹70,000 barrier
Apple’s newest flagship, the iPhone 17, starts at ₹99,900. Flipkart’s smartphone‑focused post hints at a “₹7X,XXX” price tag, suggesting a substantial cut that would bring the device into the ₹70,000‑ish bracket. As with the Samsung models, the definitive price will be disclosed only when the sale goes live, alongside any ancillary offers.
While exact figures remain under wraps, the early signals point to a festive‑season bonanza for high‑end smartphones. Both Samsung and Apple enthusiasts should keep an eye on Flipkart, as well as competing platforms like Amazon, for further price revelations in the days leading up to the launch.
