The Amazon Great Summer Sale Day 2 is now live on May 9, and shoppers returning to the platform are finding another round of major discounts across almost every category. While Day 1 saw strong demand for smartphones, ACs and smart TVs, Day 2 is continuing with aggressive pricing across electronics, appliances, fashion, beauty, kitchen products and home essentials.
This year’s sale is not just about headline discounts either. Buyers are stacking HDFC Bank offers, Amazon Pay cashback, exchange bonuses and no-cost EMI plans to lower final prices much further than the listed deal price. Prime members are also getting additional benefits on select products.
1. Smartphone deals are continuing with some massive price cuts
Smartphones remain one of the
busiest categories during the Amazon Great Summer Sale Day 2.
Samsung phones are currently starting around Rs 13,999, while Redmi smartphones are available from roughly Rs 11,999 onwards during the sale. Even the premium Samsung Galaxy variants are getting slashed prices, and the Galaxy S25 Ultra is expected to be available for around Rs 94,999.
The OnePlus, iQOO, and Realme phones have also gained a lot of traction, particularly those in the price range of Rs 15,000 to Rs 30,000 that provide affordable 5G options for the buyers.
Apart from this, some discounts are further being offered under the exchange programs and cash back promotions. There are also some smartphones like the iQOO 15R, which is expected to be available for around Rs 42,999.
2. ACs and cooling appliances are seeing discounts of up to 65 percent
Cooling appliances are easily among the hottest-selling products during Day 2 as temperatures continue rising across several Indian cities.
Amazon sale listings and trackers suggest discounts are touching 55-65 percent on select AC models from brands including LG, Lloyd, Carrier, Hitachi, Samsung and Voltas.
Some entry-level inverter split ACs are effectively starting close to Rs 20,000 after combining offers, while premium Wi-Fi-enabled and 5-star inverter models are also receiving exchange bonuses and no-cost EMI plans.
Portable coolers and fans are also seeing aggressive pricing during the sale. Several air coolers are starting below Rs 5,000, especially after coupons and bank discounts are applied.
3. Smart TVs are getting some of the sharpest discounts of the sale
Smart TVs continue to pull huge traffic during the Amazon Great Summer Sale Day 2.
Entry-level smart TVs are currently starting from around Rs 6,999, while Samsung smart TVs are receiving discounts of up to 40 percent on select models.
Budget-friendly televisions from Xiaomi, Redmi, Acer, TCL and Hisense are also seeing strong traction, especially under the Rs 20,000 category.
Many buyers this year appear to be prioritising practical streaming features like Google TV support, Dolby Audio and OTT app integration rather than ultra-premium display technology.
Amazon Fire TV devices are also receiving discounts, with some listings expected to drop close to Rs 2,999 during the sale period.
4. Fashion and beauty categories are seeing discounts of up to 80 percent
Fashion and beauty are also among the biggest-performing categories during Day 2 of the sale.
Clothing, footwear, handbags and accessories are seeing discounts ranging from 50-80 percent in several categories. Puma shoes are reportedly available below Rs 1,000 in some deals, while Nike products and Allen Solly apparel are also receiving sizeable markdowns.
Beauty and skincare categories are similarly seeing strong discounts. Several popular skincare and sunscreen brands including Minimalist, The Derma Co, Dot & Key and RE’ EQUIL are currently receiving discounts of up to 30 percent. Luxury beauty and makeup categories are also seeing offers touching 60 percent in some cases.
Travel products like backpacks and luggage are also seeing heavy traffic as many shoppers begin preparing for summer holidays.
5. Kitchen appliances and home essentials are quietly becoming bestsellers
Kitchen and home categories are also performing strongly during Day 2 of the sale.
Microwave ovens, mixer grinders, chimneys, coffee makers, air fryers and water purifiers are all seeing noticeable discounts. Several microwave ovens are currently available below Rs 7,000 after combining sale offers and bank discounts.
Home products including cookware, storage organisers, bedsheets, furniture and cleaning products are similarly seeing strong demand as many shoppers combine practical household purchases with larger electronics orders.
A lot of buyers now seem to use major Amazon sales not just for gadgets but also for restocking everyday essentials while prices remain lower.
6. HDFC discounts, cashback and Prime offers are making a big difference
One thing becoming increasingly clear during this year’s sale is that the real savings often happen after combining multiple offers together.
Amazon shoppers are currently getting up to 10 percent instant discounts using select HDFC Bank cards and EASY EMI transactions. The prime members also get additional discounts on over 2 lakh items, along with Amazon pay ICICI bank customers who can get cashback discounts.
Some consumers have also received flat cashback discounts of Rs 1,250, and some customers have also received discounts of Rs 2,500 on specific items.
No cost EMIs are also being offered on several electronics and home appliances, thereby making expensive purchases possible.
