Flipkart and Amazon have both announced major sales to be held this month, and hinted at some of the specific offers that they hope to tempt buyers with. Amazon's Great Indian Sale will take place from May 11 to 14, while Flipkart[1] will celebrate its 10th anniversary with a Big 10 Sale that starts on May 14 and continues till the 18th of the month. This means that buyers have an extended period during which some great deals might be available, but they will not be able to compare between the two and choose the better offer.
Amazon is touting[2] up to 18 percent off on Samsung[3] smartphones, up to 40 percent off on Moto[4] models, and exchange offers for OnePlus[5] phones. Amazon's own Kindle Paperwhite will sell for Rs. 2,000 less than usual, and there will be a discount on Kindle Unlimited subscriptions as well. Amazon will also be running contests during this period - customers could win Rs. 1 lakh per hour and stand a chance to win an iPhone 7 (Product Red) or one of several other products.
Rival Flipkart will be offering cashback deals and discounts[6] on products from partners Samsung, Oppo[7], Vivo[8] and Lenovo[9]. While several product categories will go on sale on May 14, deals on smartphones and other electronics will begin on May 15. Flipkart will also be giving away free vouchers and an international holiday.
