Flipkart has begun teasing smartphone deals ahead of its upcoming sale, with early access now live for Plus and BLACK members. The SASA Lele sale opens to all users on May 9, but the early access window is already offering a look at upcoming offers across budget, mid-range, and premium smartphone segments.
The teaser page this time is heavily focused on phones. Flipkart is promoting what it calls the "Biggest Deal of the Season" on the iPhone 17, with the handset listed to start at Rs. 71,900 during the sale. The teaser does not clarify whether that price factors in bank discounts or exchange bonuses, but Apple deals are expected to be among the headliners of the event.
Samsung is also getting notable placement in the sale. The Galaxy F70e has been teased at a starting price of Rs. 12,499, positioning it as one of the more competitive budget 5G options during the sale. Flipkart has also listed the Galaxy A36 5G with a starting price of Rs. 22,499.
Motorola devices are getting their own spotlight. The Moto G57 Power 5G is teased at Rs. 15,999, and Flipkart is additionally promoting what it labels "Top Premium Picks" from the brand. Motorola has built a stronger presence in the mid-range segment over the past year, and sale pricing could push its recent launches into sharper competition with offerings from Redmi, Realme, and Vivo.
Vivo and Realme are both part of the teaser lineup as well. The Vivo T5x has been listed with a starting price of Rs. 20,999*, while the Realme P4x 5G has been teased at Rs. 16,999*, aimed at buyers looking for affordable 5G options.
One listing that stands out on the teaser page is the AI+ Nova Ultra 5G, which Flipkart has priced from Rs. 14,999*. Several of these deals are being grouped under the "Sasa Lele Sixer Deals" branding, suggesting smartphones will remain the core focus of the campaign throughout.
On top of upfront discounts, Flipkart is again pushing exchange bonuses as part of the sale. Buyers upgrading from older devices could bring down the effective price further by trading in their existing handsets. The teaser also references SBI Card offers, pointing to instant bank discounts being bundled alongside sale pricing and exchange deals.
As with most large Flipkart sale events, some of the stronger deals are likely to be limited-period or stock-constrained listings. Popular storage and colour variants in high-demand models tend to move quickly once the sale opens up to all users.
Early access members can browse teased listings and build wishlists ahead of the May 9 public rollout. With Apple, Samsung, Motorola, Vivo, Nothing, Oppo, Realme, and several other brands already featured in the campaign, the upcoming sale looks set to be built squarely around smartphone upgrades.
