The festive sales are nearing their final stretch, but there are still plenty of smartphone deals worth checking before the offers disappear. Amazon and Flipkart are continuing to push price cuts across flagship, premium and mid-range phones, with some of the current prices making a stronger case for upgrading than others. The interesting part of this year’s festive sale is that the discounts are not limited to older budget phones. Flagships such as the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra and iPhone 16 are available at significantly lower effective prices, while phones such as the OnePlus Nord 6, Redmi Turbo 5 and iQOO Z11x bring performance-focused hardware to lower price points.
If you have been waiting for the right deal to upgrade, these are some of the last-minute festive offers worth considering before the sale window closes.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra
The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is one of the biggest deals in the list. It is being offered at an effective price of Rs 86,999, putting Samsung’s flagship firmly below the Rs 90,000 mark.
The S25 Ultra comes with a 6.9-inch QHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X display, Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy, a 200MP primary camera and Samsung’s S Pen. It also brings the full Galaxy AI feature set and a premium camera system with dedicated telephoto cameras. At this price, the S25 Ultra makes more sense than simply looking at the discount percentage. Buyers who want a flagship camera system, large high-resolution display and S Pen experience are getting a phone that still sits comfortably in Samsung’s premium tier. Amazon is also offering additional payment and exchange benefits during the festive sale, depending on eligibility.
iPhone 16
The iPhone 16 is arguably the most interesting Apple deal in the screenshots. At Rs 68,999, it brings the A18 chip, a 6.1-inch OLED display, 48MP primary camera and Apple Intelligence into a much lower price bracket than its launch positioning. The iPhone 16 is not the newest iPhone anymore, but that is precisely what makes this price interesting. The A18 chip means performance is still comfortably in flagship territory, while Apple’s long software-support cycle gives the phone plenty of usable life ahead.
For someone who specifically wants an iPhone without spending close to Rs 80,000 or more, this is one of the easier festive deals to justify. Amazon’s current festive promotion lists the iPhone 16 as one of its headline smartphone offers, with additional bank and payment benefits available on eligible transactions.
Samsung Galaxy S25
The Galaxy S25 is another deal that deserves attention because of what sits underneath the compact design. At Rs 54,999, buyers are getting Samsung’s Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy-powered flagship rather than a conventional upper-mid-range phone. The S25 has a compact 6.2-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display, a 50MP primary camera, 12GB RAM and a 4,000mAh battery. Its smaller size is also a major part of its appeal for buyers who don’t want a large flagship.
The price gap between the S25 and S25 Ultra is significant, so the decision is fairly straightforward. If you want flagship performance in a compact body, the S25 is the more focused deal. The Ultra is worth the additional money mainly if its larger display, camera system and S Pen matter to you. Flipkart had advertised the Galaxy S25 at Rs 57,999 during the Big Billion Days sale, with additional bank benefits. The festive pricing shown in the current deal material brings the effective price further down to Rs 54,999.
OnePlus Nord 6
At Rs 42,999, the OnePlus Nord 6 is one of the strongest performance-focused deals in the list.
The phone combines the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset with a 6.78-inch 1.5K AMOLED display running at up to 165Hz. It also packs a massive 9,000mAh battery with 80W charging, making it an unusual combination of performance and endurance. This is the kind of deal that makes more sense for someone who prioritises gaming, display smoothness and battery life rather than paying extra for a flagship camera system. Amazon has officially highlighted the Nord 6 at Rs 42,999 during its festive promotion, including an eligible credit-card EMI benefit.
Samsung Galaxy S25 FE
The Galaxy S25 FE sits in an interesting position between Samsung’s flagship and upper-mid-range phones. At Rs 43,999, it gives buyers a 6.7-inch 120Hz Dynamic AMOLED 2X display, Exynos 2400 processor, 4,900mAh battery and a dedicated 3x telephoto camera.
The FE makes sense for someone who wants the Samsung experience and camera flexibility but doesn’t necessarily need the compact form factor or flagship chipset of the standard S25. The Rs 11,000-plus gap between the S25 FE and S25 is enough to make this a genuine alternative rather than simply a cheaper version of the same phone. The FE’s larger display and telephoto camera may actually be more useful to some buyers.
Redmi Turbo 5
The Redmi Turbo 5 is the less obvious deal here, but one worth considering if performance is your priority.
At Rs 35,999, it sits well below the flagship deals while targeting users who want strong hardware for gaming and demanding everyday use. This is not the phone to pick purely for brand value or camera versatility. Its appeal comes from the performance package and the price at which it is being offered. For buyers who would rather spend around Rs 36,000 on raw performance than stretch beyond Rs 40,000 for a premium all-rounder, the Turbo 5 is an interesting alternative.
OnePlus Nord CE6
The OnePlus Nord CE6 brings the price down another step, with the festive offer placing it at Rs 32,999.
It is positioned as a more affordable alternative to the Nord 6, while still focusing on performance and everyday usability. The phone is particularly interesting for buyers who want a OnePlus device without moving into the Rs 40,000-plus segment. Amazon has also highlighted the Nord CE6 as one of its major mid-range festive deals, with the advertised price including an eligible credit-card EMI benefit.
Samsung Galaxy A56
The Galaxy A56 is the more conventional all-rounder in this list. At Rs 31,999, it offers a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display, Exynos 1580 processor and a 50MP primary camera with OIS.
Samsung’s long software-support commitment is an important part of its value proposition. The A56 also gets a 5,000mAh battery, 45W charging and IP67 protection. It doesn’t offer the flagship-level hardware of the S25, but that is not really the point. For someone who wants a Samsung phone for several years and doesn’t care about having the fastest processor available, the A56 remains a sensible festive purchase.
Amazon lists the Galaxy A56 at Rs 31,999 as part of its festive smartphone offers.
realme P4 Power 5G
The realme P4 Power stands out for one reason: battery capacity.
At Rs 27,999, the phone comes with a massive 10,001mAh battery alongside a 1.5K 144Hz AMOLED display and 80W charging. That combination makes it particularly interesting for users who spend a lot of time gaming, streaming or simply don’t want to worry about charging their phone every day. The trade-off is that this is a more specialised proposition. Buyers looking for the best camera or the most compact phone have other options in this list. But if endurance is your priority, a 10,001mAh battery is difficult to ignore at this price.
iQOO Z11x
The iQOO Z11x is the budget performance pick from this set. At Rs 23,999, it brings a performance-oriented approach to a price point where many phones focus more heavily on basic everyday usage. This makes it worth considering for buyers who want to keep the budget below Rs 25,000 while still prioritising gaming and performance.
It is also significantly cheaper than the Nord 6 and Redmi Turbo 5, so it gives performance-focused buyers a lower entry point rather than forcing them into the Rs 30,000-plus segment.
