Flipkart GOAT Sale: Last day to save on iPhone 16, Pixel 9 Pro, Galaxy S24 FE
The iPhone 17 series is just around the corner, but the iPhone 16 (review) is still a good choice for those looking to buy an Apple device. Launched last year, the iPhone 16 is powered by the A18 chipset and comes with a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED screen.
The compact IP68-rated phone runs on iOS 18 and packs in a dual camera setup that consists of a 48MP primary shooter in addition to a 12MP ultrawide lens. You also get the new Action button alongside the capacitive camera button, which quickly lets you open the camera and shoot photos. If you are looking for a compact Apple phone with flagship cameras and performance, the iPhone 16 is still a good buy for Rs 69,999.
Google has announced that it will be launching the Pixel 10 series on August 20, which is why the Pixel 9 series devices may be available at a discounted price in this sale. The Pixel 9 Pro, which was launched with a price tag of Rs 1,09,999, is currently available for as low as Rs 89,999 without bank offers.
To give you a quick recap, the Pixel 9 Pro is Google's flagship compact phone. The device sports a 120Hz 6.3-inch LTPO OLED screen protected by Gorilla Glass Victus 2. On the back, you get Google's iconic elliptical-shaped camera island that houses a 50MP main shooter, a 48MP ultrawide lens and another 48MP periscope telephoto lens with 5x optical zoom.
The device runs on stock Android 14 out of the box, but you get seven years of OS updates and security patches, which means it will be updated till Android 21. All of this is backed by a 4,700mAh battery that supports 27W wired and 12W wireless charging. Powered by the Tensor G4 chipset, the Pixel 9 Pro isn't the fastest phone in its segment, but considering the cameras and discount, the base variant of the phone, which comes with 16GB of RAM and 256GB storage, is definitely worth the price.
Samsung's Fan Edition phones are known for offering flagship-like features at almost half the price, and the Galaxy S24 FE is no exception. Launched in October last year, it is powered by Samsung's in-house developed Exynos 2400e chipset.
It has a large 120Hz 6.7-inch AMOLED screen and comes with 8GB of RAM and up to 512GB of storage. The back of the phone has a minimalistic-looking camera setup, which consists of a 50MP primary shooter, a 12MP ultrawide sensor and an 8MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom.
And while the device came with One UI 6.1 based on Android 14, like the much more expensive Galaxy S24 series, Samsung is promising seven years of OS updates and security patches. If you are looking for a Samsung phone that will easily last for years to come, the Galaxy S24 FE is an easy recommendation for Rs 35,999.

The increase in the tech giant's profit is attributable to the launch of Alphabet's AI model, which has been 'going well'. Alphabet's performance in the previous quarter was driven by the expansion of its cloud computing division and the positive impact of its AI products. 'We had a standout quarter, with robust growth across the company. We are leading at the frontier of AI and shipping at an incredible pace. AI is positively impacting every part of the business, driving strong momentum,' CEO Sundar Pichai said.

The cloud division proved to be a major driver of growth, with revenue increasing 32 per cent from the previous year to $13.62 billion. Cloud platform and AI emerge as stars of the show Alphabet has been witnessing a boom, and the credit goes to the high demand for Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and an expansion of its core products like AI infrastructure and generative AI solutions.

The company now plans to invest around $85 billion this year, up from its earlier estimate of $75 billion.

RBI grants 1-month extension to IndusInd Bank's committee of executives
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has approved extending by a month the tenure of IndusInd Bank's 'committee of executives' – who are running the bank in the absence of a managing director (MD) and chief executive officer (CEO). The extension would be with effect from July 29 to August 28 or until the new MD & CEO is appointed and assumes charge, whichever is earlier, IndusInd Bank informed the exchanges late on Friday. In April, the bank had received RBI's approval to constitute a 'committee of executives', which will discharge the duties, roles and responsibilities of the bank CEO, following Sumant Kathpalia's resignation from the position, under the guidance of an oversight committee of the board, headed by chairman of the board, Sunil Mehta. The bank's 'committee of executives' comprises Soumitra Sen, head – Consumer Banking, and Anil Rao, chief administrative officer. The 'committee of executives' oversees the operations of the bank, under the oversight and guidance of an oversight committee of the board, headed by chairman of the board, along with members, including the chairs of the audit committee, the compensation and nomination and remuneration committee, and the risk management committee. Currently, as it stands, the banks' board is without a whole-time member following the resignations of CEO and deputy CEO. Sen, who is part of the 'committee of executives', joined IndusInd Bank in 2008 to revamp and scale up the bank's distribution network. He started the MNC food giant, Nestle, before moving on as a retail banker. He has worked with Bank of America and thereafter had stints with Deutsche Bank AG, ABN AMRO Bank NV and RBS, before moving to IndusInd Bank. Separately, the bank in an exchange notification disclosed that Zubin Mody, chief human resources officer and senior management personnel of the bank, has tendered his resignation, with effect from July 25, to pursue new opportunities outside, after a two-decade stint with the bank. Mody's exit from the bank comes after Sumant Kathpalia, the erstwhile MD & CEO of IndusInd Bank, resigned in April, citing 'moral responsibility' for 'various acts of commission/omission' following accounting lapses that resulted in a loss of nearly Rs 2,000 crore. Additionally, the erstwhile deputy CEO Arun Khurana resigned in connection with the same accounting issues. Previously, in January, the chief financial officer (CFO) of the bank had resigned.
