Amazon has officially confirmed the dates for its first mega shopping event of the year — the Amazon Great Republic Day Sale 2026. The much-awaited sale will begin on January 16, 2026, offering massive discounts across smartphones, laptops, home appliances, and other consumer electronics. As in previous years, Amazon Prime members will enjoy 24-hour early access, starting from midnight on January 15.
The Republic Day sale is expected to attract millions of shoppers as Amazon looks to gain an early advantage ahead of competing sales events, including Flipkart’s Republic Day Sale, which is scheduled to start on January 17.
Bank Offers and Cashback Deals
To enhance savings, Amazon has partnered with major banks to provide attractive payment offers. Customers using SBI Credit Cards and SBI Credit Card EMI transactions will receive an instant 10% discount. In addition, users of the Amazon Pay ICICI Bank Credit Card can avail unlimited 5% cashback, making high-value purchases more affordable during the sale.
iPhone 17 Series Gets First Major Price Drop
One of the biggest highlights of the Amazon Great Republic Day Sale 2026 is the discounted pricing on Apple’s latest iPhone lineup. The iPhone 17 Pro (256GB), originally launched at ₹1,34,900, is expected to be available at an effective price of ₹1,25,400, including bank offers.
Other Apple deals include:
- iPhone 17 Pro Max – Expected price of ₹1,40,400
- iPhone 17 Air – Likely to retail at ₹91,249
- iPhone 15 – Teased to drop below ₹50,000, making it a strong option for value-focused buyers
These offers mark the first significant discounts on the iPhone 17 series since its launch.
Android Smartphones and Tech Deals
Android smartphone users will also find several attractive deals. The newly launched OnePlus 15 is expected to be priced at ₹68,999, while the OnePlus 15R could be available for an effective price of ₹44,999. Samsung’s popular mid-range model, the Galaxy A55, is set to receive a steep discount, bringing its price down to ₹23,999.
Apart from smartphones, Amazon has confirmed major price cuts across categories:
- Laptops – Up to 45% off on gaming laptops and up to 40% off on thin-and-light models from HP, Dell, ASUS, and Lenovo
- Smart TVs – Discounts of up to 65% on 4K and Google TVs from leading brands

How to Prepare for the Sale
Shoppers are advised to add products to their Amazon Wishlist in advance to track real-time price drops. Updating payment details and delivery addresses beforehand can also help secure limited-time deals that often sell out quickly.
With competitive pricing, bank discounts, and early access for Prime members, the Amazon Great Republic Day Sale 2026 is shaping up to be one of the biggest online shopping events of the year.
