Flipkart has officially teased massive smartphone deals ahead of its Republic Day Sale 2026, with the iPhone 16 and the newly launched Vivo T4x 5G set to receive notable price cuts. The sale is expected to attract premium and budget buyers alike, as flagship and mid-range devices appear side by side in Flipkart’s promotional banners.

iPhone 16 Set for Rare Republic Day Discount

Apple’s latest iPhone 16, which debuted at a premium price point, is expected to see one of its earliest major discounts during the Republic Day Sale. While Flipkart has not revealed the exact sale price yet, teaser listings suggest a combination of instant bank discounts, exchange offers, and no-cost EMI options. Industry watchers believe this could bring the effective price down significantly, making the iPhone 16 more accessible to Indian buyers.

Vivo T4x 5G Targets Budget Buyers With Aggressive Pricing

On the affordable end, the Vivo T4x 5G is set to become one of the highlights of the sale. Positioned as a value-focused 5G smartphone, the device is expected to receive direct price cuts along with bank offers, pushing it further into the competitive budget segment. The phone is aimed at users seeking long battery life, a large display, and reliable 5G performance at a lower cost.

Expected Offers: Bank Deals, Exchange & EMI

Flipkart is likely to roll out HDFC, SBI, and Axis Bank discounts, along with smartphone exchange bonuses across select models. Buyers can also expect no-cost EMI plans, making flagship purchases like the iPhone 16 easier on monthly budgets. Additional early-access benefits may be available for Flipkart Plus members.
