The OnePlus 6T, Redmi 6 Pro and Honor 8X will be eligible for an extra Rs. 2,000 as exchange value if you swap an old phone with your purchase.

Additionally, key mobile phone manufacturers have also revealed some of their upcoming deals on Flipkart and Amazon sales. Smartphones from Honor, Asus, Huawei, and Realme will be a part of the upcoming sales.

How to spot the best deals during upcoming Flipkart and Amazon sales

The first, and probably only, golden rule of any online sale is to arrive early. You have more chances of grabbing some of the hottest deals during these online sales if you start browsing right when the sales go live. Since both Flipkart and Amazon will be offering early access to select users, make sure you sign up for Flipkart Plus and Amazon Prime, even if you can manage to get your hands on a free trial.

The second important thing is to compare prices unless you're buying a product that's exclusive to one online marketplace. The third thing you should consider is the number of bundled offers and which ones you can use more. At times you may land upon a higher side of pricing, but bundled offers can help reduce the price to a lot of extent.

We'll be covering the best deals from both Flipkart and Amazon sales this weekend so make sure you tune in to Gadgets 360 once these sales go live.

Others things you need to be aware of

Amazon has tied up with HDFC Bank to offer 10 percent instant discount on debit, credit, and EMI transactions while Flipkart has joined hands with State Bank of India to offer 10 percent instant discount to the bank's credit card users.

Both the online marketplaces will offer exchange offers, no-cost EMI payment options, mobile protection plans, and other bundled offers. Make sure you club your purchases with all these offers to make your deals even sweeter.
