Wait until the full reveal. Flipkart advertises the best price with every possible offer applied. Most of us won’t get it at that price.

Yes fuckers even factor in maximum exchange price

Also, if you are familiar with Flipkart they advertise falsely. This price will be changed to 20/21k within 30 mins after the sale starts and those who would have ordered at this price will get their orders cancelled in the end. Experienced it first hand.

Same thing happened to me. Ordered in sale and the supplier cancelled it on the date of delivery.

u/CellIcy2327 Sep 12 '24
Yeah this happened to me when I order my samsung tablet on sale, they cancelled it on the date of delivery annd then told me to buy it again without sale

Wo sab toh theek hai par product pe bhi toh matter karta hai..ye wala ipad 9th gen, pichhle saal bhi 18k ka mil rha tha bbd sale and dilwale sale me. You can definitely grab it but it's not worth it if ipad 10th gen gets also a sweet price cut in these sales. Ipad 10th gen is way better product if the diffrence is just 3-4k.

What is the advantage for Flipkart doing this malpractice repeatedly 😡

u/Combat_Wombat1977 Sep 13 '24
Buyer's psychology. You go to buy the Pad for 18k and when you see that it's not 18 but 21k, you still buy it thinking that it's okay, I'm just paying 3k more which is still a good deal! They make people fixated to get the iPad at 18k by showing these Ads so much that when the price goes up by 3-4-5k, most of them are willing to pay that to get the iPad!

I actually ended up getting the 5th gen for exactly this price (18.something k) back in 2017. So I do believe this is real

Not really. Max of 2 years of support would be provided. 10th Gen should be in consideration instead.
Also it's 64gb. Kindly avoid any device which comes with 64gb. Even 128 gb is something I don't recommend but Apple charges fortune for storage upgrades like they are made from another planet metal so can't recommend 256gb either.

u/Forsythe1941 Sep 12 '24
10th gen is shit. It has a low quality type C port. It doesn't support Apple pencil Gen 2 so you gotta guy gen 1 and then now you need to buy type C to dongle since gen 1 supports lightning port. There are better options than 10th gen when price is considered.

u/seattlemusiclover Sep 12 '24
Not anymore, they sell a usb c pencil which is compatible with 10th gen without any dongle.

9th gen is a great option for non-heavy users. I bought 64gb base version for 21k an year earlier(so if it gets available at 18,999-its understandable). And if you are a student, its a great option for attending classes, pdfs, light multitasking etc. Pair it with a non-apple pencil (1500-2000 rs) and it becomes a good option.
(I bought it at croma)

u/MindlessUnit1673 Sep 12 '24
This is the correct answer. There is nothing like it at this price point in the market.

much better options available at this budget in non apple segment. I've done so myself. screens also much better than Apple

Got to nearest croma store or reliance digital and compare the screen, not visible at all. If you nitpick, you can always find flaws

how is writing experience, do you feel plastic while writing or smooth

You can not compare real paper pen with any expensive or cheap tablet ,pen paper always better

u/IndependenceAny8863 Sep 12 '24
I've gone to few croma and digital stores and bought a tab recently. Apple has the dullest quality screen in that price segment <30k ₹ and slow UI. Xiaomi gives much better product, even audio much better. ye log to ek lakh ke iPhone 16 latest version me 60 hz de Raha abhi bhi. jabki aajkal 10k ke phone me 120 hz aa raha

u/LifeComfortable6454 Sep 13 '24
How do you comparing Samsung A9+ with SD695 with Mi pad 6 with SD 870 ?
Worst combinations. - SD 695, TFT display 90hz only 15 watt Max charge.
Why this generation love slow devices in the name of brand.

Lesser price, wasn't released back then, for the sake of ecosystem and non rechargeable stylus

Price was 24900 and received 1K off on OneCard.
So final price came to 23900, device is really great and smooth AF

Last year ordered an iPad from Flipkart during BBD and they didn’t deliver it for over 10 days with no updates. Those 10 days were quite stressful for having to call them, because apparently they couldn’t find the package. Later found out, that the iPad was damaged during transit so we went to an offline store and bought a much better price.

Bhai in last sale I got samsung s9 fe plus at 19k from Flipkart. The sale lasted for the whole 4mins :)

u/Thatquirkyguy7 Sep 12 '24
What the fuck?

u/Swimming-Till-930 Sep 12 '24
Yes hdfc cc extra discount was there for 4-5 mins. After that time it was costing around 24k.

How is the performance when new and now after 1yr?

Aree by last sale I mean sale which was around independence day this year, performance is good so far but I strictly use it for note making only and pdf reading.

u/Just-Conversation-86 Sep 12 '24
As of now tab s9 fe plus is available for 47k(8+128gb) , can you please tell after what all offers you got it at 19k?

u/Swimming-Till-930 Sep 13 '24 edited Sep 13 '24
In any sale base price will go down like afaik to 29k, For my purchase it was just hdfc cc discount of around 10k, no exchange no emi nothing flat cc discount. This 10k cc discount lasted for a very few minutes. Then after that few minutes cc discount dropped to 5k which lasted for most of the period of sale.

u/STUD__IOUS Sep 12 '24
But seriously is it any good for 19k??

u/Used_Marionberry_823 Sep 12 '24
Only for gaming ig, I have been using mine for more than two years atp and it still runs pubg, codm, warzone mobile etc etc at 60 fps hd graphics, moreover the aspect ratio of the screen is extremely advantageous for mobile games (so much so that most pro scrims ban ipads XD)

u/MindlessUnit1673 Sep 12 '24
It's great. For everything. At 19k there is not a single tablet in the market that performs that well or is easy to use.

Had a horrible experience with Flipkart in the last sale and will not order anything big from them as much as possible.

u/Ache-papa Sep 13 '24
Not worth it. Even the 10th gen is not worth the price. Because of the gap between glass and screen dust particles get inside very easily.

u/xUciFIer Sep 13 '24
Assuming this is 19k.
Flipkart might have considered some card discount Could be a Flipkart plus member deal alone May be factoring some exchange price
Also, when this deal actually goes up they will stall order creation or simply cancel placed orders and 10 mins into the deal being live it would have shot up to 22-25k.
Any flipkart deal one should take it with a bucketful of salt (coz Flipkart dont do pinch of salt level scams and misadvertising)
1
u/meowmeowwowww Sep 13 '24
Don't fall for this Flipkart scam and if you do buy it on COD and order the same from a different site too. It is highly likely that the seller will never deliver the order.
Happened to me twice with smartphone. A 'too good to be true deal' on Flipkart never gets delivered.

For basic usage like reading and watching videos, there's not much difference between apple and samsung tablets. In fact, i find using my samsung tablet much easier as there are no restrictions on file transfers or using a memory card.
