Amazon Great Freedom Festival sale is now live and brings plenty of deals and discounts on gadgets. For smartphone enthusiasts, there are some decent deals that shouldn’t be missed. For example, the iPhone 11 at Rs 49,999 is among the best deals on the smartphone lately. Similarly, the iPhone 12, available at Rs 67,999, is a deal worth a look at and gets an almost Rs 12,000 discount. Some more notable deals include the OnePlus 9 at around Rs 45,999 after discounts on Amazon. It is the first time the smartphone has seen such an offer. The Samsung Galaxy Note 20, the toned-down version of the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, also sees a massive discount, though we believe it’s a deal you should miss. And, here’s why.
First, what’s the offer on the Galaxy Note 20 during the Amazon Great Freedom Festival sale. The Samsung Galaxy Note 20 is available at Rs 54,999, down from its original launch price of Rs 77,999, while the MRP of the product is Rs 86,000. This means the Galaxy Note 20 sees a flat Rs 23,000 discount during the Amazon sale. To further sweeten the deal, the online retailer is offering an additional 10 per cent instant discount (up to Rs 1,250) on SBI Credit cards as well as a No-Cost EMI offer. Customers can also avail of the exchange offer, which can reduce the price further, up to Rs 13,400. Overall, the deal on Galaxy Note 20 looks good. However, it’s a device (and the deal) that you should probably skip.
o start with, the Galaxy Note 20 is a 4G-only variant, which means you will get a phone without 5G support at a premium price of almost Rs 55,000. While 5G support isn’t a big deal and shouldn’t be a deal-breaker as well, considering there are no 5G networks available in the country, but this is a feature that will keep you future-ready.
Not to forget that the Galaxy Note 20 is now an almost a year old device and even, if you want to buy a Samsung smartphone, then you should think of the new Galaxy S21 series.
The next big reason to avoid buying the Galaxy Note 20 during the Amazon Great Freedom Festival sale is fantastic competition in the same price bracket and underwhelming specs at that price. There are phones like the OnePlus 9 powered by Snapdragon 888, which makes it a far better device for handling performance. For those unaware, the Galaxy Note 20 packs the Exynos 990 processor. Even the battery on the Galaxy Note 20 is smaller (4300mAh) compared to the OnePlus 9 (4500mAh battery). Well, this is just one example, but there are some great devices available around the same price, like the OnePlus 9 Pro, iPhone 12, and if you have the budget, then there’s also the Mi 11 Ultra at Rs 69,999.
