Samsung Galaxy smartphones could receive major price cuts during India’s 2026 festive sales. Here’s what to expect from the Galaxy S25, S25 FE, S25 Ultra, A36, A56 5G and Galaxy M17 on Amazon and Flipkart.

The festive shopping season is here once again in India, and customers planning on buying smartphones might expect a number of interesting offers on both Amazon and Flipkart. Festive sales were always one of the best times for purchasing high-end smartphones at considerably lower rates than their original prices. However, unlike the previous years, the 2026 smartphone market seems to be somewhat unique, as higher component prices and re-adjusted pricing in the entire industry have restricted the discounts that we have seen during the major sales periods.

Nonetheless, it is Samsung Galaxy smartphones that will be among the most interesting deals this festive season. Based on the early price indications by Flipkart and Amazon, a number of older Galaxy models seem to receive good discounts. Although not all the phones’ discounts and other offer conditions have been disclosed by both online retailers, we can already see some initial information in the form of price teasers.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Teased Under Rs 60,000 on Flipkart

One of the most famous smartphones that is shown in the pre-Big Billion Days teasers on the Flipkart site is the Samsung Galaxy S25. It was also said that during the sale, the Galaxy S25 can be bought for less than Rs 60,000. However, the actual discounted price of the phone will be announced on October 1.

The Big Billion Days sale will start on October 9 for all customers, while those customers who have access ahead of others can purchase items from October 8. Currently, the 128GB version of the Galaxy S25 is available on the Flipkart website for Rs 69,999. Thus, it can be said that the discounted price of the phone can exceed Rs 9,999 compared to the listed price of the product.

The Galaxy S25 is still a good choice for those customers who want a compact and premium Samsung smartphone. In addition, a price below Rs 60,000 will give the device better competitiveness with new smartphones of upper mid and high ranges. However, buyers must make sure if the discounted price of the device is the effective price after using the bank offer or it is the real selling price of the device.

Galaxy S25 FE Could Drop Below Rs 50,000

The next smartphone which could get a decent discount from Flipkart during the Big Billion Days festive sale would be the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE. The online store has already hinted at a price tag lower than Rs 50,000, whereas the starting price of this smartphone at Flipkart is Rs 54,999.

The savings for consumers will be more than Rs 4,999 if the final price tag is below the teased Rs 50,000 price point. This saving could be further increased based on the exact price point and other banking/exchange discounts on offer during the event period.

The Galaxy S25 FE could prove out to be an exciting purchase for consumers who desire Samsung's premium technology ecosystem but do not wish to pay the high-end price of a flagship smartphone.

Samsung Galaxy A36 Could Get a Major Price Cut

However, the festive offers from Flipkart on Samsung smartphones are not confined to Samsung’s premium models. The Samsung Galaxy A36 is part of Samsung’s mid-range phone series, and has also been predicted to receive a hefty discount.

The current price of the phone is pegged at Rs 38,999 on Flipkart. However, Flipkart has hinted at a festive price offer that will fall somewhere between Rs 20,000 and Rs 29,999. This means that customers buying the smartphone during the festive period can save up to Rs 9,000 depending on the final price.

A price near the lower end of the teaser would give Samsung Galaxy A36 an edge over its competitors in the mid-range market. Nevertheless, potential customers need to wait until they know the final price since the difference between the two ends of the price range hint is quite high.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra Could Also Get Cheaper on Amazon

Buyers interested in purchasing premium smartphones might want to keep their eyes peeled for yet another Samsung offer during Amazon’s Great Indian Festival. Samsung’s highest-end flagship model from last generation, the Galaxy S25 Ultra, is likely to see another cut in price during the impending sale.

Galaxy S25 Ultra has been launched in India at the price of Rs 1,29,999; however, the phone is priced quite lower than that on Amazon at Rs 99,999. There are reports stating that the phone may even be available for less than Rs 95,000 during the Great Indian Festival, with some forecasts pointing towards the price being effectively around Rs 90,000.

The Great Indian Festival by Amazon will start from October 8. The seller also offers a 10% instant discount applicable on all transactions made using an eligible SBI debit card and credit card, including eligible credit card EMI purchases.

Thus, in case someone is looking at buying a premium Android phone, Galaxy S25 Ultra would be among the few that might catch their attention. It will be a big bargain if the effective selling price falls under Rs 95,000, and an even bigger one if it falls under Rs 85,000. However, buyers must differentiate between the advertised selling price and an effective price based on an exchange offer or extra payment offer.

Galaxy A56 5G and Galaxy M17 Could Also Receive Festive Discounts

Besides Galaxy S and A36 series, the festive discounts of Samsung may include the Galaxy A56 5G phone. It is reported that the price of this gadget may fall below Rs 35,000 during the promotional event at Amazon’s Great Indian Festival.

Another phone from Samsung that will most likely get festive discount is the Galaxy M17 phone, with its price falling below Rs 20,000. The devices will be able to cater to various sections of the Indian mobile phone market based on customers’ affordability.

But the ultimate price is important to know because at times there are certain conditions such as bank discounts, exchange offers, etc., that are included in festive sale advertisements.

Rising Smartphone Prices Could Make Festive Deals More Important

Timing is especially important in this regard since smartphone companies have faced higher costs as well as general pricing pressures in 2026. Higher costs will definitely hamper aggressive discounting of smartphones, which might make the holiday season different from previous years.

In this context, the price teasers by Samsung for its new smartphones will be very interesting to watch out for. In case Flipkart can make the Galaxy S25 smartphone available at less than Rs 60,000 as well as the Galaxy S25 FE smartphone available at less than Rs 50,000, then they would definitely be more affordable than currently listed prices.

Additionally, the Galaxy A36 would definitely be worth watching out for in case its ultimate cost falls closer to the bottom of the Flipkart’s price teaser range. Finally, premium customers may want to watch out for Galaxy S25 Ultra, especially if Amazon can make it more affordable than Rs 95,000.

Final Price and Offer Conditions Will Be Crucial

However, it should be noted that despite the useful information which the teasers give about the possible price reductions for Samsung phones, consumers should wait until the final prices are announced. Flipkart is expected to announce the final Galaxy prices on October 1, prior to the launch of its Big Billion Days sales, while Amazon's Great Indian Festival will start on October 8.

Moreover, consumers should verify the prices of phones, since it is possible that the advertised price requires specific bank cards, exchange, coupons or EMI transactions. So, a phone, which is advertised at a certain effective price, can be sold at a higher price if consumers cannot get an additional discount.

In general, Samsung's old generation Galaxy smartphones look like a promising choice to pay attention to during the festive sales in India in 2026. So, the Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25 FE, Galaxy A36 and Galaxy S25 Ultra can be discounted heavily, however, the value of the discounts will depend on the final price and other offers which Amazon and Flipkart will present.
