Guys, need advice on sale items during BBD on Flipkart.

I am eyeing Pixel 7 or 7A during the BBD. I think the sale is going to start on 8th October but I already see Pixel 7 at a price of 42k with a note below "Sale price live". Does this mean the sale is already on expecially for pixel 7? Or there would be further discount on 8th.

On the FK app, there’s a price reveal for Pixel scheduled on 5th, and tomorrow for iPhone.

The price reveal on 5th October could be of Pixel 8 series. Sometimes these ads are very confusing. Wise to wait for 5th Oct and then upto 8th Oct to buy a Pixel. Downside of the risk mitigation would be the product being not available in stock.

No longer I trust flipkart, poor customer care & least bothered about order fulfillment.

The Sale Price Live represents items in the Kickstarter deals that began a couple of days ago, Pixel 7 is one among them, Pixel 7A's price will be revealed on the 5th with sale beginning on the 7th for Plus members and 8th for everyone else.

If you are looking for Pixel 7A, then wait for the sale, else for the Pixel 7, you can buy it now too, however, there may/may not be more discounts once the sale begins. However chances of the Pixel 7 going out of stock are pretty low.

To answer your question, no. That is some nonsense Flipkart does, I don't know why! Sale starts on 8th. Don't rush and get it. Wait till 8th.

Also, a heads-up. Pixel 7 series will drop price even more, considering that the 8 Series is set to launch on Oct 4th. Hold your horses and take it easy. Don't rush.

Suggest a good phone within a budget of 30k. Primary requirements are good battery & good camera. Usage will be primarily OTT apps & casual gaming apart from the usuals. I am inclined towards oneplus nord ce3 (12gb,256gb variant) which is priced 28k right now. Any more suggestions in this bracket? I will buy it in the upcoming sale.

Pixel 7A which usually goes for 45K is going for 30K on Flipkart.

Good camera, of course, best in class. Good battery, yep, one day battery. But only thing is it's 8GB and 128GB storage, which shouldn't be a problem. Plus, for OTT, Pixel's display is way better than the OnePlus display.

Pixel 7A is a steal at this price. Just close your eyes (maybe not) and get it!

I don't think the BBD prices for Pixel 7A are published yet. You might have mistaken Pixel 6A listing, which is going at 30k, for Pixel 7A price.

Been waiting for Pixel 7a!

But... How is Xiaomi 12pro? For similar (current) cost, one gets 256gb. I currently have mi a1, and have had at least one other xiami phone. One thing I like is the IR transmitter: is that unique to xiaomi phones? One thing I don't care about is the launcher. Whatever I buy will be running Nova within hours of purchase, and will look/feel exactly like my last three phones!

What I don't like so much is that, ideally, I want a smaller phone.

I am using the 12 pro for more than a year now. I personally wouldn't buy a year old model. Camera is decent, no bloatware, UI is good, battery charging is excellent (0-100 in 20 minutes)
Battery will get you through a day of medium usage easily. (My previous phone Oneplus 8 had better battery backup in comparison)

It has been listed. You can go to Flipkart, choose the BBD banner, go to the smartphones section. If you scroll down there, it has been listed!

Yes, this is true. Pixel 8 Series launches tomorrow i.e 4th of October. So that maybe the price reveal for Pixel 8 Series! But no harm in waiting, unless it goes out of stock, that is

Check out the Samsung S21 FE 5G. Much better than One Plus anyday.

Yes, it is on the banner.



But the list price for ordering right now is still 43,999

(sorry. I keep my screen brightness low, which is great except for making a screenshot! But the important detail is visible)

Yeah, so that's gonna change after the sale starts, for sure!

Don't worry about it, I'm part of the same category! My family hates me for keeping my brightness at literally 0% on my laptop!
