You don't have to wait for October 8 to shop for a phone. Amazon India has already switched on a set of Mega Deals on smartphones ahead of the main sale. The Amazon Great Indian Festival 2026 smartphone deals list runs from a ₹1,29,999 foldable down to 5G handsets under ₹16,000.
Samsung, Apple, OnePlus, Xiaomi, iQOO, Redmi and Lava all feature. On payments, Amazon says buyers get a 10% instant discount on SBI credit and debit cards and on SBI credit card EMI. Prime members get up to 10% extra savings on top.
One thing to keep in mind as you read: many of the prices below are "effective" prices that already include a coupon or a bank discount. The number you see on the product page and the number you pay at checkout may not match, so we've flagged what each price includes wherever Amazon has said so. Prices are as of October 3, 2026, and can change.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, Galaxy Z Fold7 and Galaxy A56 5G deals
Galaxy S25 Ultra. Amazon lists the phone at ₹84,999, and that figure includes a ₹5,000 coupon. So if the coupon isn't applied, the price will be higher. Amazon calls it the best-selling Android phone on its platform. On the hardware side, the phone has a 200MP main camera, a Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, a 5,000mAh battery and a large Dynamic AMOLED display. One pre-sale report put the phone's list price at ₹99,999 and expected an effective price below ₹85,000, which is consistent with Amazon's figure, though Amazon's own announcement doesn't state a list price.
Galaxy Z Fold7. This is the most expensive phone in the promotion, at ₹1,29,999. Amazon's offer here is financing rather than a price cut: up to 12 months of No Cost EMI. The company also highlights its 200MP camera.
Galaxy A56 5G. At ₹31,999 with up to 6 months of No Cost EMI, this is Samsung's mid-range entry in the sale. Amazon points to its 4nm processor, which it says brings better speed and battery efficiency.
iPhone 16 Amazon Great Indian Festival offer: what is confirmed
Amazon has put the iPhone 16 among its featured flagship deals and describes it as a value-focused iPhone powered by the A18 chip built for Apple Intelligence. What it hasn't done is publish an exact sale price.
Some publications expect the phone to drop below ₹70,000 from a marked price of ₹89,999. That is an expectation, not an Amazon announcement, so treat it as a guess until the price appears on the product page. The benefits Amazon has confirmed for the festival are the general ones: the 10% SBI discount, extra Prime savings and exchange offers. Whether they stack on the iPhone 16, and by how much, will only be clear at checkout. Also check which storage variant the offer applies to, since Amazon's listing link points to the 128 GB model.
OnePlus, Xiaomi and iQOO smartphone offers
OnePlus Nord 6 Amazon price: ₹42,999, with a ₹2,000 bank discount on credit card EMI already included. If you pay another way, expect to pay more. Amazon says the phone won its battery endurance award.
OnePlus Nord CE6: ₹33,999, on the same ₹2,000 credit card EMI discount. Amazon names it the best all-round mid-range phone in its awards, and highlights a dual-chip setup that pairs a Snapdragon processor with a separate touch chip.
Xiaomi 17 Amazon deal: listed at ₹59,999, with a flat ₹3,000 bank discount mentioned alongside it. Amazon doesn't say clearly whether the headline price already includes that discount, so confirm at checkout. The camera is a 50MP Leica triple setup, which won Amazon's best-camera award.
iQOO 15R Amazon offer: ₹46,499 after ₹7,500 off through coupons, with up to 3 months of No Cost EMI. It runs on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 and supports 144FPS gaming on a 1.5K display. Amazon names it the best gaming phone in its awards.
Budget 5G smartphone deals
Three phones sit under ₹16,000 in this promotion.
- Lava Bold N4 Pro 5G, ₹13,999: the cheapest of the lot, with a ₹1,000 bank discount included. It has a 50MP AI dual rear camera.
- iQOO Z11 Lite 5G, ₹15,499: includes a ₹2,000 coupon. It has a 6500mAh battery and 44W fast charging, and Amazon says 15 minutes of charging gives a quick top-up.
- Redmi 15C 5G Prime Edition, ₹15,999: Amazon says it has the largest display in its segment at 17.53cm, with a 120Hz refresh rate.
Amazon Great Indian Festival 2026 bank offers and payment benefits
These are the benefits Amazon has announced:
- SBI cards: 10% instant discount on credit and debit cards and on credit card EMI. Limits and minimum order values can apply, so read the offer terms on the product page.
- Prime members: up to 10% extra savings.
- Amazon Pay ICICI Bank Credit Card: unlimited 5% cashback for Prime members and 3% for non-Prime members. Amazon also mentions welcome rewards of up to ₹2,500 and no joining or annual fee.

Cashback usually reaches you after the purchase, so it will not lower the amount you pay at checkout. Your final price depends on several things: whether your card is eligible, whether the coupon is applied, your exchange value, any EMI terms, Prime membership and, of course, stock.
