Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra discount of Rs 25,000 was an error: Flipkart now cancelling orders

Highlights
  • Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra was available with a discount of Rs 25,000.
  • This reduced the price to its lowest ever of Rs 75,000.
  • But it turns out the offer was an error, and orders are now getting cancelled.

Social media was in a frenzy yesterday with news about the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra selling for as low as Rs 75,000 in India. This wasn’t a scam, and people could actually purchase the phone for this offer price on Flipkart. But it is now being reported that Flipkart is cancelling orders for those who purchased the Galaxy S23 Ultra at Rs 75,000 saying that it was a mistake.

Flipkart cancels Galaxy S23 Ultra orders

The offer on Flipkart was for debit and credit card transactions that would get you a discount of Rs 25,000. According to screenshots on Twitter, this discount was on the 256GB variant of the Galaxy S23 Ultra that was selling for Rs 99,999 on Flipkart. So after the discount, the price came down to Rs 74,999, which is the lowest ever for the Ultra variant, and even the lowest among all three models. 

But it looks like people who claimed this offer are now getting their orders cancelled. Another screenshot shared showing that the order has been cancelled. Flipkart is even giving users an explanation about the cancelled order saying that it was a mistake as the seller mistakenly listed the price. 

To compensate customers who made the order, Flipkart is offering a gift card worth Rs 2,000, and those who made any payments will be refunded. The offer in itself seemed too good to be true, and it was also not part of any major sale on Flipkart.

The Galaxy S23 Ultra is a year old now but it’s unlikely to see the price drop so low for Samsung’s flagship models. So it’s understandable that people got excited and rushed to claim the discount. 

Samsung is currently preparing to launch the Galaxy S24 series globally. The flagship series will once again offer three models — the Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24+ and Galaxy S24 Ultra. All three phones will debut at the Galaxy Unpacked 2024 event on January 17th.
