Flipkart Freedom Sale to roll out August 1: A look at top deals
The platform is expected to roll out various bank offers and price drops across categories. Flipkart has teased 78 deals under banners like 'Freedom Deals,' 'Rush Hours,' 'Exchange Hours,' 'Tick Tock Deals,' and 'Budget Deals,' which will feature electronics and household appliances at reduced prices.
While full details are still under wraps, competition with Amazon ahead of Independence Day is expected to be intense.
The Flipkart app gives us a slight glimpse of what might go under huge discounts before the sale goes live. Laptops with Intel i5 might go on sale from prices starting at Rs 35,999. During the Goat sale iPhone 16 had a significant discount, and if users missed the offer this sale might be their chance to purchase it. The app displays that iPhone 16 might also receive a significant discount, and Samsung 4K TVs might also receive a discount and would likely start from Rs 20,000.
The app also indicates that a wide range of household appliances — from stoves to washing machines — will be available at significant discounts. Two-wheelers, too, are also expected to go on sale, with price cuts on ex-showroom rates. Beauty and healthcare products will also see markdowns.
One of the confirmed bank offers includes an instant 15 per cent discount on select purchases, though details about eligible banks and conditions are yet to be announced.
Flipkart's earlier GOAT Sale 2025 featured substantial discounts, especially on the latest iPhone 16 series. The model, originally priced at Rs 79,900, was available for Rs 69,999. Other high-value deals included price drops on laptops, the Samsung Galaxy S24, and the Nothing Phone 3a Pro. Based on that trend, similar steep discounts are expected during the upcoming Freedom Sale.
