Earlier this week, Lenovo announced that Flipkart, Snapdeal, and Amazon India are not its authorised dealers. Ironically, all these are top e-retailers in India. Actually, what Lenovo has not revealed that these retailers, infact most of the e-retailers of India, offer deep discounts on products by reducing their profit margins which reduces the price of the product than what is being offered in the offline market.
But for a consumer a good bargain is everything (ofcourse apart from genuineness and quality of product).
Meanwhile, notwithstanding the brouhaha of device makers, Indian e-retailers are still offering good deals on smartphones. So like every week, this time also we stumbled upon five great deals on Android smartphones. Read on, perhaps you may get your desired smartphone here for dirt cheap.
