Amazon India’s Great Freedom Sale: These are the best offers on smartphones

Amazon India is running a big Great Freedom Festival sale with discounts on a wide range of products (we’ll focus on phones, of course). Keep in mind that you can get a 10% instant discount up to ₹3,000 with SBI credit cards in addition to the direct discount.

The new Motorola Razr 50 Ultra is one of the most capable flip foldables in the market right now and its 4” 165Hz cover display is definitely stunning. It is an expensive device, but with a 20% discount, the price is easy to justify. Additionally, Amazon is offering a free pair of Moto Buds+ with this phone (their MSRP is ₹12,000, but can be found for ₹8,000 right now).

The OnePlus Nord 4 is one of the most popular devices in the market, with a metal unibody like we haven’t seen in years. There is no direct discount on this one, rather it relies on a cashback offer for SBI credit cards. The 8/128GB model gets a discount of ₹1,000, the 8/256GB and 12/256GB models get a discount of ₹2,000.

HMD’s new Crest and Crest Max are available with heavy discounts. Note that these are almost identical devices, except that the Max has more RAM and storage (6/128GB vs 8/256GB) and a different main camera (64MP vs 50MP). There’s a microSD card slot on board, so getting extra storage is easy.

The Poco X6 is powered by the Snapdragon 7S Gen 2 chipset and has plenty of RAM and storage – especially if you get the top-spec model (12/512GB). The difference between this and the base model (8/256GB) is only ₹3,000.

The Poco M6 and M6 Pro are two 5G phones priced under ₹10,000. We would recommend the Pro model because of its sharper display (FHD+ vs HD+), more powerful chipset (Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 vs Dimensity 6100+). Everything else is almost the same, including a 5,000mAh battery with 18W charging, microSD slot, and 3.5mm headphone jack.

The Poco C65 is an even cheaper model, but it is limited to 4G connectivity due to its Helio G85 chipset (with slower eMMC storage). Other than that, it’s very similar to the M6.

When it comes to affordable 4G phones, the Realme Narzo N61 is also worth considering. It has an IP54 dust and water resistance rating and a die-cast aluminium chassis, while the Poco C65 has a plastic build and no IP rating.

Don’t forget to check for SBI credit card discounts – for expensive phones like the Moto Razr 50 Ultra, it’s up to ₹4,250, but it’s based on the purchase price. You’ll see the bank offer just below the price of each phone.
