As part of its ongoing Big Billion Days sale, Indian retailer Flipkart is selling the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ at a considerable discount. The regular Galaxy S9 is available from Flipkart for Rs. 29,999 (~$425), nearly 52% off its maximum retail price, while the S9+ can be purchased for Rs. 34,999 (~$495), or 50% less than its maximum retail price. It's worth noting that Flipkart has jacked up the list price to make the discounts seem bigger than they actually are, but both phones are nonetheless available for very attractive prices as part of the promotion.
Samsung India has the same discount for the Galaxy S9 on its official store but is selling the S9+ for Rs. 61,900; combined with faster delivery times, Flipkart is where those interested in either phone should make the purchase. The Galaxy S9+ in particular is a very attractive option here. It may be more than a year old at this point, but its specs are still solid and include many of the same features as the Galaxy S10, like powerful stereo speakers and a 12MP Dual Aperture rear camera with dedicated Night mode. It's powered by the Exynos 9810 SoC, has 6GB of RAM, and runs Android Pie and will get an update to Android 10.
Head on over to Flipkart.com to buy the Galaxy S9 (link) or S9+ (link). Do hurry, as the deal may not last very long. If you have a more limited budget, you can also look at the Galaxy M30s, which went on sale in the country over the weekend and offers amazing value for money.
