Flipkart GOAT Sale: Last day to save on iPhone 16, Pixel 9 Pro, Galaxy S24 FE
Flipkart's GOAT sale is ending in a few hours. This time, the e-commerce giant is offering huge discounts on a wide range of electronics, including but not limited to smartphones, laptops, tablets and audio accessories. During the sale, Axis Bank, HDFC Bank and IDFC First Bank cardholders can also get up to 10 per cent instant discount. If you are looking to buy a new premium smartphone, here are some of the best deals you can get during the final hours of the Flipkart GOAT sale. The iPhone 17 series is just around the corner, but the iPhone 16 (review) is still a good choice for those looking to buy an Apple device. Launched last year, the iPhone 16 is powered by the A18 chipset and comes with a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED screen. The compact IP68-rated phone runs on iOS 18 and packs in a dual camera setup that consists of a 48MP primary shooter in addition to a 12MP ultrawide lens. You also get the new Action button alongside the capacitive camera button, which quickly lets you open the camera and shoot photos. If you are looking for a compact Apple phone with flagship cameras and performance, the iPhone 16 is still a good buy for Rs 69,999. Google has announced that it will be launching the Pixel 10 series on August 20, which is why the Pixel 9 series devices may be available at a discounted price in this sale. The Pixel 9 Pro, which was launched with a price tag of Rs 1,09,999, is currently available for as low as Rs 89,999 without bank offers. To give you a quick recap, the Pixel 9 Pro is Google's flagship compact phone. The device sports a 120Hz 6.3-inch LTPO OLED screen protected by Gorilla Glass Victus 2. On the back, you get Google's iconic elliptical-shaped camera island that houses a 50MP main shooter, a 48MP ultrawide lens and another 48MP periscope telephoto lens with 5x optical zoom. The device runs on stock Android 14 out of the box, but you get seven years of OS updates and security patches, which means it will be updated till Android 21. All of this is backed by a 4,700mAh battery that supports 27W wired and 12W wireless charging. Powered by the Tensor G4 chipset, the Pixel 9 Pro isn't the fastest phone in its segment, but considering the cameras and discount, the base variant of the phone, which comes with 16GB of RAM and 256GB storage, is definitely worth the price. Samsung's Fan Edition phones are known for offering flagship-like features at almost half the price, and the Galaxy S24 FE is no exception. Launched in October last year, it is powered by Samsung's in-house developed Exynos 2400e chipset. It has a large 120Hz 6.7-inch AMOLED screen and comes with 8GB of RAM and up to 512GB of storage. The back of the phone has a minimalistic-looking camera setup, which consists of a 50MP primary shooter, a 12MP ultrawide sensor and an 8MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom. And while the device came with One UI 6.1 based on Android 14, like the much more expensive Galaxy S24 series, Samsung is promising seven years of OS updates and security patches. If you are looking for a Samsung phone that will easily last for years to come, the Galaxy S24 FE is an easy recommendation for Rs 35,999.

iPhone 17 Pro May Launch with Scratch-Resistant, Anti-Reflective Display This September
Apple may be preparing a major upgrade for its premium iPhones this year. According to a recent report by MacRumors, the upcoming iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max could feature an advanced display coating that boosts scratch resistance while significantly reducing screen glare. The new technology is expected to enhance visibility under bright lighting, especially outdoors. The enhanced screen protection combines anti-reflective and scratch-resistant properties and is seen as an evolution of the Ceramic Shield Apple currently uses. Although the feature was first rumored in 2024, production issues reportedly delayed its rollout. However, recent updates suggest those challenges have been overcome. Insiders familiar with the development told MacRumors that Apple's supply chain partners have now stabilized production of the new coating layer, making it suitable for large-scale manufacturing. This upgrade will likely remain exclusive to the Pro lineup, meaning standard iPhone 17 models and the rumored iPhone 17 Air might not benefit from it. This would be the first time Apple brings anti-reflective screen technology to the iPhone series. While iPads, MacBooks, and the Pro Display XDR already use similar coatings, the iPhone lineup has so far been limited to an oleophobic finish for smudge resistance and the Ceramic Shield for drop protection. Apple's decision to integrate this coating now appears timely, especially after rival Samsung introduced Gorilla Glass Armor in its recent flagships. That technology boasts up to 75% reduction in screen reflections alongside improved scratch durability, making it a standout in outdoor performance. Apple seems to be responding with its own premium-level upgrade. Earlier this year, reports indicated that Apple was facing slowdowns on the production line due to the complexity of applying the anti-reflective layer. The coating process required precise handling, which made it difficult to meet high-volume manufacturing targets. Fortunately, those issues seem to be resolved as of mid-2025. If the improvements roll out as expected, users can look forward to a more durable display with better outdoor readability, less glare, and possibly reduced reliance on third-party screen protectors. The iPhone 17 series is expected to be unveiled on September 8, 2025, in line with Apple's traditional launch schedule. While Apple has not yet officially confirmed the feature, more concrete details are likely to surface in the coming weeks.
