Amazon has kicked off the Nice Indian Pageant or “GIF”. Let’s not get into arguments about how you can pronounce that and have a look at the provides. There are some large reductions and a few extra restrained ones, listed here are those that caught our eye.
The Xiaomi 14 is a whopping 40% off. This cellphone is technically from final 12 months, nevertheless it has the present Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. And it’s smaller than most flagships with a 6.36” LTPO OLED show. It has a formidable triple 50MP Leica digicam on its again and a comparatively massive 4,610mAh battery with quick charging (90W wired, 50W wi-fi). It should obtain 4 OS updates, beginning with Android 15 soon-ish.
The Xiaomi 14 Civi is 25% off and whereas we strongly want the common 14, the Civi may curiosity selfie-obsessed of us. It has two 32MP cameras on the entrance, one with a large and one with an extremely extensive (100°) lens. The rear cameras are in a 50+50+12MP configuration, which features a 50MP 50mm portrait cam.

The OnePlus 12R is nice worth for cash due to its Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. Sure, it’s a era behind, however for a mid-₹30,000, it’s an incredible chip. And also you get a pointy 6.78” LTPO OLED show. The cameras are form of fundamental (50+8+2MP), as is the IP64 score. The 5,500mAh battery with 100W charging is nothing to sneeze at, although.
We’re additionally together with the OnePlus 12 right here – the common low cost isn’t nice, however with an SBI credit score or debit card, it will get higher. This cellphone has the present Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and a correct Hasselblad digicam with 50MP important, 64MP 70mm tele and 48MP extremely extensive. It additionally options 50W wi-fi charging for the 5,400mAh battery.
The iQOO 12 is a whopping ₹13,000 cheaper (not counting the financial institution supply talked about above) and in addition will get you the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. The digicam {hardware} is sort of related, barring the Hasselblad title. The battery is smaller (5,000mAh) and solely helps wired charging (120W). There are just a few different areas the place the OnePlus is barely higher (e.g. 510ppi show vs. 453ppi), however the value financial savings make the iQOO laborious to miss.
As an alternative of a Xiaomi 14, you possibly can have a Samsung Galaxy S24. Sure, it prices extra for much less RAM and fewer storage. Talking of, we suggest the 256GB choice because it makes use of quicker UFS 4.0 chips (the 128GB model is UFS 3.1). The Samsung is smaller (right here is how they measurement up) and can obtain 7 years of help. Do you favor OneUI over HyperOS? That’s one other consideration.
The Samsung Galaxy S24 Extremely can also be a part of the GIF sale, nevertheless it solely has a modest 9% low cost and solely the 512GB mannequin is obtainable. It has strong cameras and the distinctive benefit of the S Pen, however its value is the one one on this listing with six digits.

It makes use of a Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 just like the Realme, however misses out on the LTPO panel (the 6.74” 120Hz OLED show remains to be fairly good, although).
The OnePlus Nord CE4 doesn’t have a cool steel physique and it solely will get the non-plus Snapdragon 7 Gen 3. The 6.7” show has a decrease decision (1080p+ vs. 1240p+) and the mud and water resistance drops to IP54 (from IP65 on the Nord 4). That stated, the digicam and battery are roughly the identical and also you get to avoid wasting money.
The OnePlus Nord CE4 Lite is difficult to suggest – it’s not that less expensive and its Snapdragon 695 chipset is absolutely previous at this level. The remainder of the cellphone isn’t dangerous, however we’d slightly have the non-lite CE4.
The Samsung Galaxy M35 has an incredible 39% low cost.

The Tecno Pova 6 Neo 5G launched solely a few weeks in the past, so 18% off is a much bigger low cost than we will anticipate for a cellphone this new. Whereas the Dimensity 6300 is not any pace demon, it does join you to 5G networks. We’re extra fearful concerning the 6.7” 120Hz IPS LCD – it solely has HD+ decision. And 18W charging is sort of sluggish for a battery with 5,000mAh capability. On the plus facet, you received’t discover one other 108MP digicam on this value phase.
The Lava Blaze 3 5G can also be new and has the identical Dimensity 6300 chipset, almost the identical 6.56” 90Hz IPS LCD with HD+ decision too.

For those who pre-book now (with a ₹500 deposit), it is possible for you to to purchase this cellphone for ₹9,500 as an alternative of its MSRP of ₹12,000. It’s a 5G cellphone, so we see the Dimensity 6300 but once more. And one other HD+ IPS LCD, a 6.6” 120Hz show this time. The rear digicam has a 48MP Sony sensor. Notice that gross sales will begin on October 8, so it’s worthwhile to full the acquisition earlier than then.
