Flipkart Freedom Sale to roll out August 1: A look at top deals
Flipkart has announced that its 2025 Freedom Sale will go live on August 1 for Plus subscribers, with access opening to all users from August 2. Early access remains one of the key benefits of Flipkart Plus, along with additional savings such as a 10 per cent discount when using Super Coins on top of existing sale prices. 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.

Flipkart Freedom Sale 2025 to begin in August; early access for Plus and VIP members
Flipkart has announced that its annual Freedom Sale will return in early August, offering a slew of deals across categories such as electronics, home appliances, and personal care products. However, the official start date remains unclear, with discrepancies between the company's mobile app and website. According to the Flipkart app, the Freedom Sale 2025 is scheduled to begin on 1 August. In contrast, the website lists the start date as 2 August. Flipkart has confirmed that its Plus and VIP customers will receive early access to the sale, 24 hours before it opens to the general public. These members will also benefit from additional discounts, including a 10 per cent reduction when using Flipkart's Super Coins alongside regular sale offers. Bank offers during the event will include an instant 15 per cent discount on select purchases. Flipkart also revealed that the sale will feature 78 promotional windows branded as 'Freedom Deals', 'Rush Hours', 'Tick Tok', 'Exchange Offers', and 'Bumper Hours'. Details about the specific nature of these offers have yet to be disclosed. The Freedom Sale follows closely on the heels of the recently concluded Flipkart GOAT Sale, which ended on 17 July. That event featured discounts on popular smartphones such as the iPhone 16, Nothing Phone 3a Pro, and Samsung Galaxy S24. More information on the Freedom Sale 2025 is expected in the coming days, as both Flipkart and Amazon prepare for intense competition ahead of Independence Day. To recall, in a major boost for smartphone shoppers, Flipkart had launched exciting deals on the latest iPhone 16 series as part of its GOAT Sale 2025. The much-anticipated iPhone 16 (128GB variant) was selling at a special price of ₹ 69,999, down from its original retail value of ₹ 79,900. It will be interesting to note that how the e-commerce giant will once again offer special discounts on premium smartphones like iPhones.
