The Amazon Great Indian Festival Sale and Flipkart Big Billion Days Sale will soon come to an end, and so will those exciting offers currently available on various smartphones from different brands. These deal prices on the handsets are steadily increasing, but they’re still less than what you would have had to pay on a regular day. Thus, deals on phones like the Samsung Galaxy S22, iPhone 12, Pixel 6a, and more are still worth checking, but you might want to hurry.
