The Amazon Great Indian Festival 2026 is now live — and tablets are among the biggest winners. Five models stand out for price cuts that slash thousands off their regular Indian retail prices, with bank-linked offers pushing savings even deeper.
The iPad Air M4, Apple’s latest mid-tier tablet powered by the M4 chip. Is listed at Rs 69,499 with an SBI Bank credit or debit card. That’s Rs 5,500 off its listed price of Rs 74,999, and Rs 20,401 less than its official Apple India website price of Rs 89,900. It ships with an 11-inch IPS display, 12MP front and rear cameras, and no mention of storage tier in the source, only the base variant is referenced.
OnePlus Pad 2 hits Rs 29,999 during the sale. Buyers get an extra Rs 1,500 off using an SBI credit card, bringing the effective price to Rs 28,499. The tablet runs on Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, features a 12.09-inch 144Hz screen, 9,510mAh battery, and a 13MP camera.
Xiaomi Pad 8 is priced at Rs 35,999, but drops to Rs 31,749 with Rs 4,250 off via SBI credit cards. Its specs include a Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chip, 11.2-inch 144Hz LCD panel, 9,200mAh battery, and a 13MP selfie camera.
Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S10 Plus appears at Rs 79,999. Down from Rs 1,05,999 on Samsung India’s site. An additional Rs 2,399 cashback is available via the Amazon Pay ICICI Bank credit card. No AMOLED upgrade over the S10 Ultra is noted in the source, but the listing confirms it as the S10 Plus model.
Idea Tab Pro Gen 2 lands at Rs 37,999 with SBI Bank cards, Rs 4,000 below its regular Rs 41,999 price. It packs a 13-inch 3.5K 144Hz screen, Snapdragon 8s Gen 4, 10,200mAh battery, quad speakers, and includes the Tab Pen Plus in-box.
None of these deals require waiting for Prime Day or Black Friday. They’re active now, through the duration of Amazon’s Great Indian Festival 2026. Which began October 8, 2026.
What’s missing? No pricing for the newly launched Galaxy Tab S12 series, no iPad Pro M4 deals, and no mention of Flipkart’s competing Big Billion Days sale. Also absent: any reference to warranty extensions, exchange bonuses, or bundled accessories beyond the Idea Tab’s included stylus.
These are not flash sales. They’re sustained event pricing, meaning buyers can lock in these figures without racing against a ticking clock. But they are bank-specific. SBI and ICICI offers won’t apply to HDFC, Axis, or non-partner cards. And the iPad Air M4 discount applies only to the base configuration. Higher-storage variants may carry different terms, unmentioned in the source.
For Indian buyers weighing value across ecosystems, the math shifts sharply this week. At Rs 69,499, the iPad Air M4 undercuts the Galaxy Tab S10 Plus by nearly Rs 10,000, while offering Apple silicon performance and iOS continuity. Meanwhile, the OnePlus Pad 2 at Rs 29,999 delivers flagship-tier silicon and a large 144Hz display for under ₹30,000. A threshold historically reserved for budget Android slates.
Amazon’s sale runs through mid-October. No end date is cited in the source, only that the festival is live as of October 8, 2026.
