New Delhi – Ahead of its flagship Big Billion Days 2026 event, Flipkart has begun dropping hints about the price cuts it plans for several premium smartphones. The e‑commerce giant’s teaser campaign suggests that Samsung’s newest flagships and Apple’s upcoming iPhone could be offered at prices far lower than today’s list rates.
What the teasers reveal
Flipkart’s promotional graphics indicate that the sale will kick off on 9 October. Among the highlighted devices are the Samsung Galaxy S25, the Galaxy S25 FE and the yet‑to‑launch iPhone 17. While exact numbers are still under wraps, the platform has shared approximate price ceilings that give shoppers a clear idea of the potential bargains.
Galaxy S25: Could dip below ₹60,000
The standard 128 GB Galaxy S25 is currently priced at ₹69,999 on the site. Flipkart’s hint suggests the flagship might be listed for under ₹60,000 during the festival sale, which would translate into a saving of roughly ₹10,000 for early‑bird buyers. The final figure will depend on the mix of bank offers, exchange schemes and any additional coupon codes applied at checkout.
Galaxy S25 FE: Targeting the ₹50,000 threshold
For the fan‑edition of Samsung’s flagship, the 128 GB S25 FE is now advertised at ₹54,999. The teaser points to a sub‑₹50,000 price tag, meaning shoppers could pocket at least ₹5,000 off the current rate. Layered discounts—such as EMIs with zero‑interest, extra bank cashbacks, or trade‑in benefits—could push the effective cost even lower.
iPhone 17: A possible plunge into the ₹70k range
Apple’s upcoming iPhone 17 starts at ₹99,900 on Flipkart. In a smartphone‑focused post, the retailer hinted at a “₹7X,XXX” price point, implying a reduction that could bring the device close to the ₹70,000 mark. If the rumor holds true, the iPhone 17 would become one of the most affordable entry points for Apple’s latest technology.
What shoppers should watch for
- Bank‑specific cashbacks that can shave off an additional 5‑10 %.
- Exchange offers that may add a further ₹3,000‑₹7,000 discount on top of the listed sale price.
- Limited‑time coupon codes released on Flipkart’s app and social channels.
Until Flipkart publishes the official price list, the figures above remain provisional. Buyers are advised to keep an eye on the platform’s notifications and to compare offers across competing marketplaces such as Amazon and Samsung’s own store.
Looking ahead
More flagship‑level deals are expected to surface in the days leading up to the Big Billion Days launch. With the festive season in full swing, both Samsung and Apple are likely to leverage Flipkart’s massive reach to drive volume, making October a prime window for high‑end smartphone shoppers.
