It’s that time of the year when we see eCommerce platforms like Amazon and Flipkart offering great deals on all kinds of stuff. The much-awaited Flipkart Big Billion Days will start from October 10 and last till October 14. From October 11 to 14, we will see some excellent deals and offers on smartphones.
If you want to get a phone in this sale, then we are here to help you. In this article, we have compiled the list of best offers on the smartphones in the Big Billion Days 2018.
FLIPKART BIG BILLION DAYS 2018 – OFFERS ON SMARTPHONES
NOTE – The smartphones listed in each price segment are in no particular order.
UNDER RS 10,000
ASUS ZENFONE MAX PRO M1 (3GB + 32GB) – Rs 9,999 (Rs 1,000 OFF)
This is undoubtedly the best smartphone you can buy under Rs 10,000 in the Big Billion Days on Flipkart. This is because the Zenfone Max Pro M1 is the only phone that has the powerful Snapdragon 636 processor at this price. It doesn’t end here as the phone has a massive 5,000mAh battery underneath, runs on the stock Android 8.1.0 Oreo, has a Full-HD+ 18:9 display, Dual rear cameras and more.
For those who are worried about the camera performance, you can easily install the Google Camera on this phone, and that improves the overall camera quality a lot. If you think the 32GB is very less, then there is a triple card slot which means you can add two SIM cards and a microSD card at the same time. Again, this is something we don’t usually see these days in smartphones as most of the companies add the hybrid SIM slot.
Apart from the processor, the best thing about this phone is its battery. With casual usage like social media, YouTube, etc., this phone will easily last two days. With heavy use that includes gaming, the phone will easily last a full day and even more. So overall, this is a great phone to buy at the Flipkart Big Billion Days.
REALME 2 (3GB RAM + 32GB ROM) – Rs 8,990
The Realme 2 is also one of the best phones under Rs 10,000 as it features a notched display, a dual rear camera setup, a big 4,230mAh battery, 14nm Snapdragon 450 processor, Triple card slot, Face Unlock, Fingerprint scanner and not to forget, that beautiful design (the company calls it a Diamond-Cutting design). If you want a phone with a big battery, a display with notch, beautiful design and good cameras, this is the phone that you should look at.
HONOR 9N (3GB RAM + 32GB ROM) – Rs 9,999 (Rs 2,000 OFF)
Well, this is not that good phone when you consider the performance, but is one of the few phones with a glass back. Again, this is a 2.5D curved glass on the back and not plastic like the one on Realme 2 Pro. The phone has a notched display, but the notch on the 9N is smaller than most of the phones with notches in the budget segment. Rest of the specs aren’t bad. The phone has a Kirin 659 processor, 3,000mAh battery, 13MP + 2MP dual rear cameras, 16MP front camera, 3GB RAM and 32GB ROM.
MOTO Z2 PLAY (4GB RAM + 64GB ROM) – Rs 9,999 (Rs 9,000 OFF)
The Moto Z2 Play might not be the best choice under Rs 10,000 since it features the Snapdragon 626 processor, but the phone has a solid build with a unibody metal design, Gorilla Glass protection on the front, good camera on the rear (12MP with f/1.7 aperture and dual Pixel AF), stock Android, 3,000mAh battery, 4GB RAM, 64GB storage, USB Type-C port and more. Since it is a ‘Z’ series phone, it also supports all the Moto Mods. So, if you are into that, you can go for the Moto Z2 Play in the Flipkart Big Billion Days.
LENOVO K8 PLUS (3GB RAM + 32GB ROM) – Rs 6,999 (Rs 3,000 OFF)
The Lenovo K8 Plus is one of the few phones from Lenovo that features the stock Android. Yes, there is no custom skin on top, so that’s a good thing. If you want a phone with stock Android, the K8 Plus is a good choice since it will be available under Rs 7,000 in the sale. The phone has a Full-HD 16:9 display, 4,000mAh battery, MediaTek Helio P25 Octa-core processor, Android 7.1.1 Nougat (Oreo update has already arrived for the phone), 13MP + 5MP dual rear cameras, an 8MP front-facing camera and more.
Overall, this is the best feature packed phone under Rs 7,000 that you can get in the Flipkart Big Billion Days.
OPPO A71 (3GB RAM + 16GB ROM) – Rs 6,990 (Rs 3,000 OFF)
The Oppo A71 is a phone that features the Snapdragon 450 processor, and in the sale, you will be able to get it for under Rs 7,000. This will make it the cheapest phone with Snapdragon 450 processor in the Flipkart Big Billion Days. One of the major con is that the phone has just 16GB internal storage. There is a 13MP single rear camera, 5MP front camera, a normal 16:9 HD display, and a 3,000mAh battery. So, apart from the processor, there is nothing special about this device.
REALME C1 (2GB RAM + 16GB ROM) – Rs 6,999
Realme surprised everyone when it announced Realme C1 after the announcement of Realm 2 Pro. When it was announced, it became the cheapest Snapdragon 450-powered phone in India. In the Flipkart Big Billion Days, you can get it for Rs 6,999 and for that price, you are getting a 19:9 display with notch, dual rear cameras, 4,230mAh battery, Face Unlock, Triple card slot, and a powerful Snapdragon 450 processor. This is a phone that you can get if you want a phone under Rs 7,000.
SONY XPERIA R1 DUAL (2GB RAM + 16GB ROM) – Rs 6,990 (Rs 2,500 OFF)
Well, we don’t usually recommend Sony’s phones in the budget segment since they are pretty overpriced. But, if you love Sony’s design, then the Xperia R1 Dual can be a good phone to buy in the sale. The phone has a traditional Sony design with big bezels on top and bottom, 13MP rear camera, 8MP front camera, 2,620mAh battery, Snapdragon 430 Processor, etc. Not a good phone when compared with phones like Realme C1 but still, if you are a Sony fan, you can get this.
REDMI 6 (3GB RAM + 32GB ROM) – Rs 7,999
If you want a phone with Good cameras, then the Redmi 6 is a good phone at a price of Rs 7,999. The phone has dual rear cameras that include 12MP + 5MP sensors, and the device has the same Portrait Mode algorithm that we have on phones like Redmi Note 5 Pro. On the front, there is a 5MP camera. The processor under the hood is the octa-core Helio P22, and there is a 3,000mAh battery underneath.
INFINIX NOTE 5 ( 3GB RAM + 32GB ROM) – Rs 8,999 (Rs 1,000 OFF)
The Infinix Note 5 is the only phone under Rs 10,000 that comes with Android One branding. So, the phone runs on the stock Android 8.1.0 Oreo and will get two major Android updates. It also features the Helio P23 octa-core processor, has a big 4,500mAh battery, 5.99-inch Full-HD+ display without a notch, 12MP single rear camera and a 16MP front-facing camera. The phone has a glass finish that makes it looks really beautiful. One of the best things about the phone is that it supports 18W fast charging as well. Overall, this is a value for money phone.
INFINIX SMART 2 (2GB RAM + 16GB ROM) – Rs 4,999 (Rs 1,000 OFF)
The Infinix Smart 2 is a cheap smartphone, and at the Flipkart Big Billion Days, you will be able to grab one at a price of Rs 4,999 only. The phone has a quad-core MediaTek MT6739 processor, 13MP rear camera, 8MP front camera, 2GB RAM, 16GB ROM, 3,050mAh battery, Face Unlock and Triple card slot. These specs might not seem that good on paper but keep in mind that it is a phone priced at Rs 5,000.
So, that completes the list of best smartphone offers under Rs 10,000. We might have missed some phones, but that is because we don’t think you should go for them in this sale. Now, let’s move on to the most competitive segment in the Indian smartphone market, i.e., Rs 10,000 – Rs 15,000.
BETWEEN RS 10,000 – RS 15,000
ASUS ZENFONE MAX PRO M1 (4GB + 64GB) – Rs 10,999 (Rs 2,000 OFF)
Well, it’s Asus again that has surprised by announcing a discount of Rs 2,000 on its Max Pro M1. So, the 4GB RAM variant will be available at Rs 10,999 instead of the normal price of Rs 12,999. The phone features Snapdragon 636, the best chipset at this price and comes with a massive 5,000mAh battery. There is the same camera setup as on the 3GB RAM variant. All the specs are the same as the 3GB variant except for the storage and RAM. Overall, this is the best phone to get at Rs 12K.
NOKIA 5.1 PLUS ( 3GB RAM + 32GB ROM) – Rs 10,499 (Rs 500 OFF)
The Nokia 5.1 Plus is an Android One smartphone which means it comes with the stock Android out of the box. The phone has an Helio P60 processor. If you don’t know, the Helio P60 comes pretty close to the Snapdragon 660 Processor regarding the performance. The Nokia 5.1 Plus also features a glass back.

The 6GB variant has much-improved 16MP + 5MP dual rear cameras and a 16MP front camera. Rest of the specs remain the same as the 3GB and 4GB variants.

Android Pie update is also coming this month for the Nokia 6.1 Plus.
REALME 2 PRO (4GB RAM + 64GB ROM) – Rs 13,990
The Realme 2 Pro is the cheapest smartphone in India that features the Snapdragon 660 processor. The phone is the best when it comes to gaming, but the increase in the performance isn’t that huge since it is an underclocked Snapdragon 660 processor. Normally, the 660 is clocked at 2.2GHz, but the Realme 2 Pro has a 2.0GHz processor.
Still, the phone performs better than the Snapdragon 636-powered phones when it comes to gaming and heavy tasks. Color OS is something you won’t like since it not that well optimized and has a lot of issues. Other than that, the phone is great with superb cameras, good design and more.
