Plan for 2025 BBD / GIF Sale [22 September]

[sourpai]

Any good deals expected on Apple watch Series 10 (GPS + cellular)? Can't see any mention of it anywhere

 

[djrocky]

Looking for a full size android phone (not compact ones). Thinking between oneplus 13 (16gb ram) and Samsung S24 Ultra.

Main priority regular updates for a long period, good UI exp (already using oneplus 11R), NFC must have. No games.

Priority- Performance>Battery>camera

Any suggestions even if apart from above choices ?

Will HDFC Swiggy Give 5% cashback on Samsung India Website?
Samsung India is selling Samsung tab s9 in 39999 in their website with 5000 instant discount on HDFC credit cards.(Effective price 34999)
Offer is applicable on both Millennia and HDFC Swiggy (Manually tested by entering the card number)
Now, my question is will I get 5% upto 1500 in HDFC Swiggy in this transaction?

Amazon is also showing their GIF sale price for tab s9 as 35999*. Don't know it's the final price after applying the card discount or not.
Should I buy from Samsung directly or wait till bbd/GIF?

It's available for 35999 on the corporate store + 5000 HDFC discount = 30999. If you have any connections with any samsung employees or any of the companies that have collaboration with samsung you can get it.

Both are solid choices.

OnePlus 13 gives you a bigger battery, and since you’ve already used a OnePlus before, the experience will feel very familiar and smooth.

Samsung S24 Ultra stands out for its software, longer OS/security update support, and Samsung Wallet/Pay, which makes great use of NFC.


In day-to-day usage, you won’t really notice a big performance difference between the two. Personally, I find One UI more refined than OxygenOS.

Also as far as I remember in a battery drainage test OP 13 lasts for more than 1 hour extra in comparison to the S24 Ultra

OP 13 is more value for money with the free life time screen warranty for green lines.

Rightly said, only thing not able to decide due to below reasons

OP 13 has curved screen so tempered will not work. Now heard that ads have been added. + Dolby atmos has been removed

Samsung S24U - Doesn't cover green lines, charging is slow and its bulky (weight and width is more).

Rest waiting for S24U price

Finally one more thing

If you are going to buy OP 13 from the official site there are some Bonus gifts,
1. Free screen protector
2. A diwali Bonus drop of worth ₹19 is currently live, with this Bonus drop coupons you will get some oneplus merchandise free with your new phone, cupon will be applied automatically.
So if you are interested buy that ₹19 Bonus drop from the official site
