New Delhi, July 7, 2026 – The annual 'Prime Day' shopping event, a cornerstone of Amazon's retail calendar, commenced yesterday, July 6th, presenting a landscape of heavily discounted electronics and consumer goods. Notably, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra has surfaced with a significant price adjustment, now retailing at Rs 84,999, a substantial drop from its original Rs 1,29,999 launch price. This represents a direct discount of Rs 45,000. Other featured electronics include the Sennheiser Momentum TWS 4 earphones, available for Rs 17,499, and the OnePlus 13, offered at Rs 54,999, with some reports indicating earlier pricing of Rs 49,999.
The event, scheduled to run for 72 hours, underscores a broader strategy of significant price reductions across a vast array of products. Amazon is leveraging this period to move inventory and incentivize membership, coinciding with the tenth anniversary of its Prime service in India. The company is also offering incentives for new members, with the annual Prime membership reduced to Rs 999, a Rs 500 markdown from its standard Rs 1,499 price.
