Amazon India is back with the second edition of its heavily promoted ‘Great Indian Festival’, starting today. Everything, right from the most popular smartphones to laptops, tablets and home appliances are up for grabs. We list down some of the best deals for you…

Up to 35% Off on Mobile Phones
If you’ve been planning to buy a smartphone for a long time, now is a good time. You can consider either Moto G4 Plus, Moto G4 Play, Samsung On 7 Pro, OnePlus 3 or Lenovo K4 Note to name a few. These are the top deals on Amazon India and you may want to run through them, to make a better purchase decision. Our best picks are: Moto G4 Plus, Samsung On 7 Pro and iPhone 6s.

Moto G4 Plus: Amazon is offering Rs 1,500 off on the Rs 14,999 price tag for the 3GB RAM+32GB storage. While the discounted price is Rs 13,499, with the exchange offer you can get a maximum of Rs 10,700 off on this smartphone.

Samsung On 7 Pro: Similarly, Amazon is offering Rs 1,200 off on the Samsung On 7 Pro, which is currently available for Rs 9,990. The best part about this deal is, if you exchange this for an older device you can get a maximum discount of Rs 7,900 and that brings down the price to Rs 2,000. Now that’s a great deal!

iPhone 6s: Amazon is offering the 64GB version of the smartphone for just Rs 45,599. 64 GB is a rare version now, as Apple has officially stopped selling the model to keep the storage capacities consistent with newer models. Over all, it’s a fabulous deal for iPhone lovers.

Up to 35% Off on Laptops and Tablets
There are huge discounts available on laptops, tablets and accessories too. Here’s a look at the top deals for you…

HP 15-BE002TU 15.6-inch Laptop: This is one of the best deals right now. This HP laptop is currently available for only Rs 21,790. Its MRP is Rs 24,354 but the Amazon Great Indian Festival deal helps you save over Rs 2,560 on the laptop. It’s a pretty good device with a 1.6GHz Intel Pentium N3710 processor, 4GB DDR3L RAM and 1TB 5400rpm Serial ATA hard drive.

Dell Inspiron 3558 Notebook:  This is another steal of a deal available for Rs 25,990 on offer.  The laptop otherwise costs Rs 33,273 and comes with a 2GHz Intel 5th Gen Core i3 processor, 4GB DDR3L RAM, 1TB hard drive and the Ubuntu Linux operating system.

Apple iPad mini 2 (Wi-Fi): Apple’s iPad mini 2 is still quite popular and worth buying, especially when you consider its price tag. The tablet has a 15% discount that brings its price down from Rs 25,900 to Rs 20,598. This discount is only applicable on the iPad mini 2 32GB Wi-Fi variant.

All-New Kindle: If you’re a Kindle fan, hurry up and grab this deal. Amazon India is offering Rs 1,000 off on its all-new Kindle. So the price of the Kindle falls to Rs 4,999. The offer is applicable on both the black and white colour variants. Add in the discount for Citi card holders, and it turns out to be an even better deal.

Up to 45% Off on TVs
Brands like Samsung, Sanyo, Philips and Panasonic to name a few have amazing offers going on currently that you cannot miss. Here are some TVs worth checking out…

Samsung FH4003 HD Ready LED TV: The original cost of the TV is Rs 27,900 but Amazon India is offering the same for Rs 18,990. You get to save over Rs 8,900 and that’s a huge difference. An LED at this price is a good-enough deal.

This Hyundai air conditioner with a 3 rating on Amazon India is up on sale for Rs 20,500. Its actual price value is Rs 34,990. If you hurry up and go ahead with this slit A.C you get to save nearly Rs 14,400.

LG GL-I322RPZL (308 Ltrs): If you’ve had a refrigerator on your buying list for sometime now, you must consider this LG fridge that’s currently available on Amazon for Rs 27,500 with a discount of over 24%. The cost has dropped from Rs 36,040 to Rs 27,500 and that’s really not a bad deal. It’s a frost free double door refrigerator with a 4 rating on Amazon, which simply means it’s probably worth the cost.

Bosch WAK24168IN Washing Machine: Bosch, one of the most widely known brands for washing machines has this model on offer that is available with a flat 27% discount on Amazon India. This fully-automatic front-loading washer is currently priced at Rs 25,990, which originally costs Rs 35,999. It holds a 7 kg capacity, has a great spin speed at 1200rpms and is known for its incredible wash program. This is a quite tempting deal, where you get to save over Rs 10,000.

It’s Worth Spending a Bit More on Protecting Your Device and Appliance
So if you’ve already made up your mind about what to buy between Oct 17 – 20 during the Amazon ‘Great Indian Festival’, it also makes sense to give your new device/applaince complete protection with an Extended Warranty or Damage Protection Plan. There’s often a misconception that spending on these plans are way expensive and a waste of money. But the fact is, these plans hardly cost 5% of the device/appliance price and they extend its life by at least one or two years.

The OnsiteGo Extended Warranty and Damage Protection plans depend on the price of your product. Once you purchase the plan, it ensures hassle free service with free pick, repair and drop, at no extra cost. All repairs are done at the brand authorized service centers across India. It also offers a timely repair or replacement guarantee. If you plan to buy a large appliance like a TV, fridge or washing machine during the Amazon ‘Great Indian Festival’, you need not worry as OnsiteGo offers free at-home service for large appliances. This means, an executive will be sent to your location to repair your appliance. All this at just a fraction of the device’s cost is not at all a bad deal. You also just have to pay once while buying the plan, after which repairs are completely cashless.

Confused Which One to Choose? Extended Warranty or Damage Protection?
We’d recommend buying both, to fully cover your device/appliance after the expiry of the manufacturer’s warranty. Here’s what the plans cover…
1) Extended Warranty: This is an extension of the manufacturer’s warranty by 1 or 2 additional years with added benefits. The plan is applicable for all devices and appliances.

2) Spills & Drops Protection Plan/Damage Protection Plan: This can save you from all the problems associated with fixing your device after any physical or liquid damage. The plan is available for smart phones, tablets, cameras and laptops for a maximum of 1 year.
