Flipkart Big Billion Days Sale 2025: Which smartphones to buy and which to avoid? Here’s complete guide

When buying a smartphone during Big Billion Days, it would not be right to decide only by looking at the price. iPhone 16 Pro, Pixel 9 and Galaxy S24 Snapdragon variants are good options, while it would be better to avoid iPhone 14 and Samsung S24 FE. Know why

New Delhi: This time Flipkart's Big Billion Days Sale is offering huge discounts on many big smartphone models. Phones like iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Pro, Pixel 9 are available at low prices, but not every deal is good. Here we are giving you a simple guide to which phones are worth buying and which ones to stay away from.

Smartphones Worth Buying

Pixel 9

The performance of the Pixel 9 is not as powerful as the most powerful phones in the market, but the overheating and network complaints on it are exaggerated. I myself have used the Pixel 9 Pro XL for a year and it stays cooler than the iPhone 16 Pro. The 50MP RAW photo processing takes a while, but clicking photos in 12MP mode is good. The camera is good for the price, especially in the dynamic range.

iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max

If you can buy it and the site doesn't crash during the sale, this deal is the best deal of the year. The 128GB base variant available for ₹69,999 may be a little short in terms of storage, especially in 2025. If you want more battery life, you can also take a look at the iPhone 17. In terms of camera quality, it is difficult to beat the iPhone 16 Pro.

Samsung Galaxy S24 (Snapdragon 8 Gen 3)

Earlier I did not recommend the S24 with Exynos 2400, but now with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, this phone has become a good option. It is not 8 Elite, but 8 Gen 3 is also better in performance and works much better than Exynos.

Smartphones To Avoid

iPhone 14

This phone available for less than ₹40,000 would not be a good buy in 2025. Its Lightning port is now outdated. For those who want an iPhone, it would be better to spend ₹ 12,000 more and get the iPhone 16 or at least consider the iPhone 16e, which has a better chip, AI support and a USB-C port.

Samsung Galaxy S24 FE

This phone, which sells for around ₹ 40,000, will be cheaper in the sale, but buying it will not be the right decision. It has an Exynos 2400e chip, which is weak in performance. There are better options like Pixel 9, OnePlus 13R between ₹ 35,000 to ₹ 40,000.

When buying a smartphone during Big Billion Days, it would not be right to decide only by looking at the price. iPhone 16 Pro, Pixel 9 and Galaxy S24 Snapdragon variants are good options, while it would be better to avoid iPhone 14 and Samsung S24 FE. By choosing the right phone, you can get better performance and long-term satisfaction.
