Diwali is the festival of lights, but for many, it’s also a great time to upgrade old hardware – or maybe try something new – given the many sales and deals happening around this time. Whether for friends or family, or even something to add to your own wish-list, here’s a quick list of recommended gadgets for your shopping cart.
A new phone, maybe?
If you are looking for a new phone, and especially now with the latest features and a powerful camera, the OnePlus 9 series is a good place to start. Depending on your budget, you can opt for the flagship 9 series with 120Hz AMOLED display and great cameras. The 9 Pro in particular stands out with its 10-bit LTPO panel, 1 billion colors and 1,300-nit screen. The 9 and 9R offer displays that are equally capable, albeit at a lower, FHD+ resolution. All phones offer more than enough RAM and storage, depending on your budget and usage, with 8/128 and 8/256 GB variants available.
Oh, and the Pro and R models get 48MP Hasselblad-tuned cameras with a unique Xpan emulation mode. The base model 9R sells for Rs 37K, with the Pro hitting 66K on the extreme end. If you don’t need anything fancy, there’s the Nord 2 5G and CE, and all of these phones will be on sale online and offline, which means you don’t even need to buy them at full price. There will also be a number of easy finance options available to you depending on your bank and the service you choose,
Apart from this, there is a discount of Rs 4,000 on 9 Pro and 3k off on 9 and 9R at select offline stores. Exchange one iOS device and you can expect a discount of Rs.4,000.
During the Great Indian Festival, HDFC is offering between 2k and 7k on Amazon on top of a flat 3k discount, not to mention an additional 3k if you exchange an iOS device.
Nord 2 5G and CE 5G are being offered with the same discount of up to Rs 1,500 both offline and online with different bank cards and offers.
There’s never been a better time to buy a bigger TV
If premium TVs are your thing, OnePlus has the U1S line with 4K UHD screens that range from 50 inches to 65 inches, and they’re all HDR10 certified, by the way. You get great picture quality and great design, not to mention OxygenPlay 2 support. The price of these units range from 44k to 67k.
A more budget-friendly option is the Y series line-up with a 93% DCI-P3 display, 64-bit processor, support for Android TV, OnePlus Connect and more.
Depending on where you buy them, you can get up to Rs 4,000 off at select stores, Rs 2,000 instant bank discount and up to 5k off on U1S. Banks are also offering big discounts on purchases made through the Flipkart and OnePlus apps. Easy finance and no-cost EMI options are also available.
Take immersion to the next level with these audio products
The obvious choice here is the OnePlus Buds Pro. At 10k, this is a premium set that offers good sound quality, heavy bass, ANC, and grata battery life. The design is excellent and it definitely looks more expensive than this. More budget-friendly options include the OnePlus Buds and Buds Z.
1000 off via ICICI and Kotak Banks and 10% off via HDFC on Amazon. You can get Rs.991 off on Buds and Rs.200 off on Bullets Wireless Z. Most of these deals will run in November, so you have plenty of time to make up your mind.
A smart watch or band to complete the outfit
Pairing a good phone with a great watch will help complement your ecosystem and give you a great experience. In keeping with the theme, we’ll start with the OnePlus Watch and Band, which retail for just under ₹15k and ₹2k respectively.
In the watch, you get a 1.39-inch AMOLED with 326 ppi, 100+ fitness modes and IP68 water-resistance. Paired with a stunning design, this watch would never look out of place in a business meeting or swimming pool.
The band is cheap and made for fitness enthusiasts. It includes multiple exercise modes as well as an integrated SpO2 meter and heart rate monitor. Kotak and ICICI Bank are offering 1k discount on the watch, and HDFC is offering 10% off on Amazon. The band can be bought for less than Rs 600, depending on whether you buy it from here.
Most of the above sales and offers are valid till November, but keep an eye on e-commerce sites like Flipkart and Amazon as well as OnePlus.in and the app for more killer deals and up-to-date information.
