The air is buzzing with that familiar festive energy. The streets are a little brighter, the homes are a little more lively, and for us tech enthusiasts, it means one thing: the Amazon Great Indian Festival is just around the corner. But for those of us with a Prime membership, the corner is a little closer. The wait is over.

That’s a full 24-hour head start to grab the best deals before anyone else. And let’s be honest, when it comes to coveted gadgets like tablets, those 24 hours can make all the difference.
Why a tablet, you ask? Think about it. It’s the perfect blend of a smartphone and a laptop. It’s portable enough to be your companion on the daily commute, powerful enough to handle your work presentations and binge-watching sessions, and versatile enough to be a digital canvas for your creative side.

And with the Great Indian Festival, there’s a deal on it, too. Adding to the excitement, OnePlus announces price cuts for OnePlus 13, making this festive season even more rewarding for shoppers who are eyeing both tablets and smartphones.
So, let’s dive into some of the incredible deals you can get your hands on, starting with the biggest names in the game.
The Apple Advantage: An iPad for Every Need
For years, the iPad has been the gold standard in tablets, and for good reason. The seamless user experience, the fantastic app ecosystem, and the sheer power of their processors make them a joy to use.
This sale is the perfect time to finally get your hands on one, especially since MacBook Air M4 drops under ₹80,000: unbeatable pre-sale deals on Amazon & Flipkart are also grabbing headlines, giving Apple fans even more to celebrate this season.
We’ve been seeing some amazing early deals, and the one that has everyone talking is the iPad 11th Gen. With its A16 chip, it’s a productivity powerhouse and a multimedia beast.
While the official sale price hasn’t been fully revealed, it’s rumored to be priced at an incredible Rs. 33,999, a significant drop from its list price. This is a deal that won’t last long, so if you’ve been eyeing a new iPad, this is your moment.
For those who want a bit more, the iPad Air 3 is confirmed to be priced under Rs. 50,000, down from its usual Rs. 59,900.
With the M2 chip, this device is a dream for creative professionals, video editors, and anyone who needs serious processing power. You’re getting a top-tier machine at a mid-range price.
Samsung's Stellar Lineup: More Than Just a Tablet
Samsung has been a formidable competitor in the tablet space, and their Great Indian Festival deals are proof of that. They offer a fantastic blend of features and value, often including their S Pen, which is a huge bonus.
The deal that’s caught our attention is on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9. Its list price is a steep Rs. 81,999, but with the early deals, it’s available for an incredible Rs. 35,999! That’s a jaw-dropping discount, and it brings a flagship tablet with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, a stunning display, and an S Pen within reach of many more users. This is a deal you simply cannot pass up if you’re in the market for a premium Android tablet.
If you’re looking for something that offers a great balance of performance and price, keep an eye on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE. The early deals have already seen it drop from Rs. 44,999 to Rs. 34,999, which is a fantastic value for a tablet that comes with an S Pen, a 90Hz display, and a powerful Exynos 1380 processor.
The Android Alternatives: Something for Everyone
While Apple and Samsung often dominate the headlines, other brands are stepping up their game with some seriously competitive tablets. And the Great Indian Festival is where you’ll find their best offers.
The OnePlus Pad 3 is another great option. It’s a stylish and powerful device, and while the early deal price of Rs. 47,999 isn’t the biggest discount, it still represents a solid saving on a new and highly-rated tablet. The Xiaomi Pad 7, with its Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 chip and 3.2K display, is another one to watch. It’s on sale for a cool Rs. 30,999, making it a great choice for those who value a high-resolution screen without breaking the bank.
And for those on a tighter budget, the Redmi Pad Pro 5G has seen a significant price drop to Rs. 25,906. This is an excellent tablet for casual use, media consumption, and everyday tasks, and at this price, it’s a no-brainer.
