Diwali phone buying tips

• Compare the final price, not the MRP. Check the same model on Amazon, Flipkart and the brand’s own store. Bank card discounts often decide which one is cheapest.
• Read the exchange value carefully. Exchange offers depend on your old phone’s condition check at pickup, and the final amount can be lower than shown.
• Check the variant. The headline price is usually for the base RAM and storage. 128GB fills up fast; 256GB is worth it if you keep a phone for three years or more.
• Avoid sale links on WhatsApp and SMS. Fake sale pages peak during Diwali. Read our guide to Diwali scams in 2026 before you pay.

Prices in this guide are taken from listings tracked by Beebom on 26 and 27 October 2026. Check the live price on the seller’s page before you buy, as festive offers change daily.
