Republic day sale 2026: iPhone and laptop prices hit rock bottom with up to 80% discounts

New Delhi (The Uttam Hindu): If you've been planning to buy an expensive smartphone or premium gadget for a long time, now's the right time to end the wait. Flipkart and Amazon, two of the biggest e-commerce giants, have come face to face. This "price war" between the two companies during the Republic Day sale is directly benefiting Indian consumers. The electronics market is flooded with discounts, and the prices of expensive flagship products have plummeted.

iPhones and premium phones become cheaper

According to market reports, products across several key categories are being offered at steep discounts of up to 60 to 80 percent during the sale. The smartphone market is experiencing the most activity. Prices of everything from the latest iPhone models to premium handsets from Samsung and OnePlus have reached all-time lows. Companies have also significantly increased the exchange value offered for old phones, making phones that seemed out of reach until recently now accessible to ordinary buyers.

 Direct savings of up to 15,000 on laptops

This sale is proving to be a boon not only for mobile phones, but also for those who work from home and gaming. Powerful laptops that used to cost ₹50,000 are now available for around ₹35,000, offering a great opportunity for those looking to upgrade. Furthermore, refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioners, and wearables like smartwatches are also experiencing a "clearance sale," offering significant discounts.

Bank offers offer 'discount on discount'

This sale offers smart shoppers a double benefit. In addition to discounts on the listed price, an additional 10 percent instant discount is available for cardholders of major banks like SBI, ICICI, and HDFC. This means that if a product already has a steep discount, its price becomes so low after the bank offer is applied that it's hard to believe.

Fear of stock running out

With such steep discounts, the biggest challenge is securing your favorite product in your cart. Products with good offers are running out of stock very quickly, and sometimes they become out of stock within seconds. Tech experts advise avoiding spending too much time on the payment page during sales. Save your card details and delivery address in advance to avoid missing out on a great deal at the last minute.
