Flipkart has kicked off its Big Shopping Days sale and here are some of the best deals on smartphones, smartwatches and other electronics.
After the success of Big Diwali Sale, Flipkart is here with yet another sale. Called ‘Big Shopping Days,’ it has kicked off today and will continue until December 21. The e-commerce giant is offering big discounts on electronics, and if you’re looking forward to buy a smartphone or a smartwatch, it’s time to celebrate early Christmas. The OnePlus 3 is one of the highly anticipated smartphones going on sale later today for just Rs 18,999.
With sale starting at 4PM, the OnePlus 3 will be available in limited quantity. The OnePlus 3 is barely six months old, and was launched for Rs 27,999. Now, while the pricing of Rs 18,999 may look like a sweet deal, it’s been a controversial affair ever since Flipkart started teasing it. Since its launch, the OnePlus 3 has been Amazon India exclusive. OnePlus has also clarified the same and mentioned that it cannot guarantee the authenticity of products that are purchased outside its official channels. In reply, Flipkart mentioned that in its marketplace, discounts and prices are decided by participating brands and sellers. So if you’re willing to buy the OnePlus 3, be sure about the warranty offered by the seller.
