Croma Smartphone Deals August 2026: Rs. 7,999 to Rs. 2.24 Lakh

Seven thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine rupees is the lowest price on Croma's phone shelf, and it is a vivo - which is the pattern this whole page describes. Thirty-eight vivo listings appear in our read at a median 33 per cent off, the deepest brand discount on the wall. Four gigabytes of RAM and 64GB of storage is genuinely tight in 2026: expect to manage storage from the first month and to keep three or four apps rather than thirty. The charger being in the box is worth about Rs. 800 against phones that omit it.

• Price: Rs. 7,999 (stated MRP Rs. 14,999)
• Key detail: Rs. 7,999, 4GB RAM, 64GB storage, charger in the box - the read's floor price
• Discount: 47% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 7,000
• Rating: Croma publishes no rating on this listing
• Role: Cheapest 5G phone in the read
• Buying logic: 64GB fills up fast - budget for a memory card or cloud storage

Thirteen thousand four hundred and ninety-nine against a stated Rs. 26,999 - precisely half. Round ratios like this recur across the cheap end of this shelf and they are a sign of the MRP being set to produce the badge rather than the other way round. Redmi listings in our read carry a median 40 per cent badge. As a phone it is the same specification as the vivo above with Rs. 5,500 more asked for it, which is the case for buying the vivo unless you want MIUI.

• Price: Rs. 13,499 (stated MRP Rs. 26,999)
• Key detail: Rs. 13,499 from a stated Rs. 26,999 - exactly half, 4GB RAM, 64GB storage
• Discount: 50% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 13,500
• Rating: Croma publishes no rating on this listing
• Role: Half price, on paper
• Buying logic: Same 4GB/64GB as the cheaper vivo - the software is the difference

Fourteen thousand rupees. Vivo had 38 listings in our 157 rows - more than Apple, more than Samsung, more than oppo - at a median 33 per cent off and a median price of Rs. 26,499. That combination of shelf space and discount is a distribution strategy: vivo pays for presence in Indian electronics retail and prices to move volume through it. The consequence for a shopper is real - at any given price under Rs. 30,000 the vivo will usually be the specification leader on paper.

• Price: Rs. 13,999 (stated MRP Rs. 26,999)
• Key detail: Rs. 13,999 from a stated Rs. 26,999 - 48% off, 4GB RAM, 64GB storage
• Discount: 48% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 13,000
• Rating: Croma publishes no rating on this listing
• Role: The volume seller's volume phone
• Buying logic: Vivo leads on paper specs at every price under Rs. 30,000 here

Fifteen thousand nine hundred and ninety-four rupees buys 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, against 4GB and 64GB on everything cheaper on this page. That is the single best step on the shelf: roughly Rs. 2,000 doubles both numbers, and storage is the specification people actually run out of. Thirty-one oppo listings appear in our read at a median 17 per cent badge, so this listing at 41 per cent is discounted well past its own brand's norm.

• Price: Rs. 15,994 (stated MRP Rs. 26,999)
• Key detail: Rs. 15,994, 8GB RAM and 128GB storage - double both on the phones above it
• Discount: 41% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 11,005
• Rating: Croma publishes no rating on this listing
• Role: 128GB at Rs. 15,994
• Buying logic: 8GB/128GB is the sensible floor for a phone kept three years

Seventeen thousand four hundred and ninety-nine rupees, a Rs. 500 reduction on a stated Rs. 17,999. This is here to make one point clearly: the shallow badges on this shelf are not an Apple phenomenon, they are a recency phenomenon. A phone launched weeks ago carries no discount whatever its brand, and a phone eighteen months into its life carries 40 or 50 per cent. Against the oppo above it, this is Rs. 1,505 more for less RAM, and the only thing you gain is newness.

• Price: Rs. 17,499 (stated MRP Rs. 17,999)
• Key detail: Rs. 17,499 from a stated Rs. 17,999 - a 3% badge, 4GB RAM, 128GB storage
• Discount: 3% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 500
• Rating: Croma publishes no rating on this listing
• Role: The three per cent phone
• Buying logic: A new launch, so no discount - wait two quarters or buy older

Eighteen thousand four hundred and ninety-four rupees at 32 per cent off - three times Samsung's median badge in this read, which sits at 11 per cent across 31 listings. Older mid-range Samsungs are where the brand's discounting actually happens; its current flagships move barely at all. Eight gigabytes and 128GB is the right specification at this price, and Samsung's service network is the widest of any brand on this page, which matters more than a benchmark score at the four-year mark.

• Price: Rs. 18,494 (stated MRP Rs. 26,999)
• Key detail: Rs. 18,494 from a stated Rs. 26,999 - 8GB RAM, 128GB, an outlier badge for Samsung
• Discount: 32% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 8,505
• Rating: 5.0 from 1 rating - too thin to rank on
• Role: Samsung's mid-range floor
• Buying logic: Samsung's service network is the widest here - a four-year asset

Nineteen thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine rupees. Above roughly Rs. 20,000 the badges on this shelf begin to fall away, and this listing is the last of the 40-per-cent-plus reductions in our read that is not attached to a questionable MRP. Four gigabytes of RAM at Rs. 20,000 is thin - the oppo F27 four picks up has twice that for Rs. 4,000 less - so this is a purchase for someone who wants a bigger screen and battery rather than a faster phone.

• Price: Rs. 19,999 (stated MRP Rs. 33,999)
• Key detail: Rs. 19,999 from a stated Rs. 33,999 - 4GB RAM, 128GB storage, 41% off
• Discount: 41% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 14,000
• Rating: Croma publishes no rating on this listing
• Role: Rs. 20,000, and the badge is still 41
• Buying logic: Only 4GB RAM at Rs. 20,000 - check the RAM, not the screen

Twenty-three thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine rupees at 44 per cent off a stated Rs. 42,999. That badge is more than twice oppo's own median of 17 per cent across 31 listings, which usually means one thing: the model is at the end of its shelf life and the retailer is clearing it. That is not a reason to avoid it - a year-old mid-range phone at 44 per cent off is the best value on any electronics shelf - but it does mean checking the launch date and expecting a shorter software support window.

• Price: Rs. 23,999 (stated MRP Rs. 42,999)
• Key detail: Rs. 23,999 from a stated Rs. 42,999 - 6GB RAM, 128GB storage, 44% off
• Discount: 44% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 19,000
• Rating: Croma publishes no rating on this listing
• Role: Deepest badge above Rs. 20,000
• Buying logic: A badge twice the brand's norm usually means end of shelf life

Twenty-four thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine rupees. OnePlus had nine listings in our read at a median 16 per cent badge and a median price of Rs. 34,999 - a brand that prices near its intended number and moves it slowly. This N-series phone is the entry point to that, and the honest comparison is with the oppo K14 above: same parent company, similar hardware, Rs. 1,000 more here, and a software layer many people prefer. The badge difference is a marketing decision, not a hardware one.

• Price: Rs. 24,999 (stated MRP Rs. 33,999)
• Key detail: Rs. 24,999 from a stated Rs. 33,999 - 6GB RAM, 128GB storage, 26% off
• Discount: 26% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 9,000
• Rating: Croma publishes no rating on this listing
• Role: OnePlus, at a OnePlus badge
• Buying logic: OnePlus and oppo share a parent - compare the software, not the badge

Twenty-seven thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine rupees. Realme is a brand built on aggressive pricing, and even here a current model only carries 15 per cent - which is the recency effect again rather than a brand policy. Four realme listings appeared in our read at a median 15 per cent. Eight gigabytes and 128GB at Rs. 28,000 is unremarkable value against the oppo K14 at Rs. 24,000; you are paying about Rs. 4,000 for the phone being newer.

• Price: Rs. 27,999 (stated MRP Rs. 32,999)
• Key detail: Rs. 27,999 from a stated Rs. 32,999 - 8GB RAM, 128GB storage, 15% off
• Discount: 15% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 5,000
• Rating: Croma publishes no rating on this listing
• Role: Fifteen per cent, and recent
• Buying logic: Rs. 4,000 more than the K14, for being newer - not faster

Thirty-five thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine rupees, against a stated MRP of exactly Rs. 1,00,000. The oppo Reno13 launched in India well under half that figure, and an MRP landing on a perfectly round lakh is the signature of a field filled in rather than a price ever charged. It is the only listing in our 157 rows above 55 per cent off, and it is the reason we rank nothing on this page by badge. As a phone at Rs. 35,999 with 8GB and 128GB it is competitive. The Rs. 64,001 'saving' is not a number.

• Price: Rs. 35,999 (stated MRP Rs. 100,000)
• Key detail: Rs. 35,999 against a stated Rs. 1,00,000 - a round-number MRP, the read's only 64% badge
• Discount: 64% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 64,001
• Rating: Croma publishes no rating on this listing
• Role: A stated MRP of exactly Rs. 1,00,000
• Buying logic: Judge it at Rs. 35,999 - the stated lakh MRP is not a real price

Thirty-six thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine rupees for 8GB and 256GB. That is the cheapest quarter-terabyte on this shelf, and it is worth holding against chapter four: the same storage step inside Apple's range costs several times more. Storage is the one specification that cannot be added later on a modern phone, and it is the most common reason a working three-year-old handset gets replaced. Eighteen per cent off is close to this shelf's overall median of 13.

• Price: Rs. 36,999 (stated MRP Rs. 44,999)
• Key detail: Rs. 36,999 from a stated Rs. 44,999 - 8GB RAM, 256GB storage, 18% off
• Discount: 18% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 8,000
• Rating: Croma publishes no rating on this listing
• Role: 256GB below Rs. 37,000
• Buying logic: Storage cannot be added later - buy more than you think you need

Thirty-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine rupees, one thousand off. Nothing had two listings in our read, both at 2 per cent, which is the same badge Apple's newest phones carry - and it makes the point that the shallow-discount end of this shelf is about brand pricing power and recency rather than about Apple specifically. A brand that controls its own distribution and does not fight for shelf space does not need to discount. Whether the phone is worth Rs. 40,000 is a separate question this page cannot answer.

• Price: Rs. 39,999 (stated MRP Rs. 40,999)
• Key detail: Rs. 39,999 from a stated Rs. 40,999 - a 2% badge, 8GB RAM, 128GB storage
• Discount: 2% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 1,000
• Rating: 5.0 from 1 rating - too thin to rank on
• Role: Two per cent off, at Rs. 40,000
• Buying logic: Small brand, tight distribution, no discount - the same logic as Apple

Thirty-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-four rupees, half of a stated Rs. 79,999, and unlike the oppo two picks up that MRP is a number Samsung genuinely charged. This is the most useful pattern on the shelf for anyone spending Rs. 40,000: a two-generation-old flagship at half price beats a current mid-range phone at full price on almost every component - screen, camera sensor, build - and loses on software support window. Check how many Android versions remain before buying.

• Price: Rs. 39,994 (stated MRP Rs. 79,999)
• Key detail: Rs. 39,994 from a stated Rs. 79,999 - exactly half off a previous-generation flagship
• Discount: 50% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 40,005
• Rating: 5.0 from 1 rating - too thin to rank on
• Role: Fifty per cent off a flagship
• Buying logic: An old flagship beats a new mid-ranger on hardware, loses on updates

Two thousand four hundred and forty-seven ratings at 4.6. Nothing else in our 157 rows comes close - only 31 listings carry a rating at all and most of those rest on one or two votes, which is why this is the only pick on the page with a rating pill. The iPhone 13 is now three generations old and still costs Rs. 45,690 at 8 per cent off; that price resilience is the same phenomenon this chapter keeps describing, expressed on the second-hand-adjacent end of Apple's range.

• Price: Rs. 45,690 (stated MRP Rs. 49,900)
• Key detail: Rs. 45,690, 128GB, 4.6 from 2,447 ratings - the only well-sampled listing in the read
• Discount: 8% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 4,210
• Rating: 4.6 from 2,447 ratings
• Role: The only real rating sample here
• Buying logic: Three generations old and still only 8% off - Apple holds price

Fifty-six thousand four hundred and ninety rupees, Rs. 3,410 off. Thirty of Apple's 35 listings in our read sit between 2 and 6 per cent off, and this is one of them - the discount does not deepen at the cheap end of the range, because the range is priced centrally and Croma is applying a retailer margin rather than a markdown. That is the useful thing to know before walking into a shop: on Apple hardware there is no better day to buy, only a better bank offer.

• Price: Rs. 56,490 (stated MRP Rs. 59,900)
• Key detail: Rs. 56,490 from a stated Rs. 59,900 - 128GB, a 6% badge, Apple's entry current model
• Discount: 6% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 3,410
• Rating: 5.0 from 2 ratings - too thin to rank on
• Role: Apple's cheapest current phone
• Buying logic: No better day to buy an iPhone here - only a better bank offer

Seventy-four thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine rupees at 6 per cent off. All three Google listings in our read carry exactly that badge, which puts Pixel in the same pricing category as Apple rather than the same one as Samsung: centrally set, thinly discounted, sold on the software rather than on the sticker. Twelve gigabytes of RAM and 256GB of storage is a genuinely generous specification at this price, and the camera processing is the reason people buy it.

• Price: Rs. 74,999 (stated MRP Rs. 79,999)
• Key detail: Rs. 74,999 from a stated Rs. 79,999 - 12GB RAM, 256GB, a 6% badge
• Discount: 6% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 5,000
• Rating: 5.0 from 2 ratings - too thin to rank on
• Role: Google, at Apple's badge
• Buying logic: 12GB and 256GB is generous here - the camera is the argument

Seventy-six thousand nine hundred and ninety rupees. Read this next to the vivo at the top of the page, which is Rs. 7,999 at 47 per cent off: the two listings are on the same shelf in the same shop on the same day, and one of them will move by Rs. 7,000 in a sale while the other will not move at Rs. 3,000. That is the whole finding of this read - the badge tells you which brand you are looking at, and almost nothing about whether today is a good day to buy.

• Price: Rs. 76,990 (stated MRP Rs. 79,900)
• Key detail: Rs. 76,990 from a stated Rs. 79,900 - 128GB, a 4% badge, Rs. 2,910 reduced
• Discount: 4% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 2,910
• Rating: Croma publishes no rating on this listing
• Role: Four per cent, at Rs. 77,000
• Buying logic: A 4% badge on Rs. 77,000 is Rs. 2,910 - budget accordingly

Ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety rupees, and the reduction is Rs. 2,910 - the identical rupee figure applied to the iPhone 16 Plus at Rs. 76,990. That repetition is the clearest evidence on this page that these are not markdowns at all but a fixed retailer adjustment: the same absolute number appears on phone after phone regardless of price, which is why the percentage shrinks as the price climbs. Half a terabyte of storage is the reason to look at this one.

• Price: Rs. 99,990 (stated MRP Rs. 102,900)
• Key detail: Rs. 99,990 from a stated Rs. 1,02,900 - 512GB storage, a 3% badge
• Discount: 3% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 2,910
• Rating: Croma publishes no rating on this listing
• Role: Three per cent, half a terabyte
• Buying logic: The same Rs. 2,910 comes off phones Rs. 24,000 apart in price

One lakh one thousand nine hundred rupees, at 15 per cent off - nearly four times Apple's median badge of 4 per cent in this read. When a company that discounts nothing suddenly discounts one model by Rs. 18,000, the market is telling you the model has not sold. The iPhone Air is Apple's thinnest phone and it trades battery capacity for that; whether the trade suits you is a question about your day, not about the price. But the price is the most interesting Apple number on this shelf.

• Price: Rs. 101,900 (stated MRP Rs. 119,900)
• Key detail: Rs. 1,01,900 from a stated Rs. 1,19,900 - 256GB, a 15% badge, Apple's deepest here
• Discount: 15% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 18,000
• Rating: Croma publishes no rating on this listing
• Role: Fifteen per cent, and the outlier
• Buying logic: The only Apple phone here discounted like a normal phone

One lakh twenty-nine thousand four hundred and ninety rupees. Six Apple 17 Pro and Pro Max listings in our read all carry exactly 4 per cent, across four storage sizes and three colours - which is what a centrally administered price looks like when a retailer applies a uniform margin adjustment. There is no waiting game to play here and no colour that is cheaper. The only variable a buyer controls is the card offer at checkout and the exchange value of the old phone.

• Price: Rs. 129,490 (stated MRP Rs. 134,900)
• Key detail: Rs. 1,29,490 from a stated Rs. 1,34,900 - 256GB, a 4% badge
• Discount: 4% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 5,410
• Rating: 5.0 from 1 rating - too thin to rank on
• Role: Four per cent, at Rs. 1.29 lakh
• Buying logic: Every 17 Pro listing here is 4% - colour and storage change nothing

One lakh forty-three thousand nine hundred and ninety rupees, which is Rs. 14,500 above the Pro for a larger screen and a larger battery, at exactly the same 4 per cent. The step between Pro and Pro Max is the clearest illustration of what Apple actually sells at the top of its range: physical size, at a fixed rupee premium, with the discount rate held constant so the rupee value of the discount rises with the price. It is a pricing system, not a sale.

• Price: Rs. 143,990 (stated MRP Rs. 149,900)
• Key detail: Rs. 1,43,990 from a stated Rs. 1,49,900 - 256GB, a 4% badge identical to the Pro's
• Discount: 4% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 5,910
• Rating: Croma publishes no rating on this listing
• Role: The same four per cent, Rs. 14,500 higher
• Buying logic: Pro to Pro Max is Rs. 14,500 for size, at an unchanged badge

Two lakh twenty-four thousand nine hundred and ninety rupees, reduced by Rs. 4,910 - two per cent. This is the far end of the curve the page opened with: the vivo at Rs. 7,999 carries 47 per cent, and the phone at 28 times its price carries 2. Between them lie 157 listings whose badge size predicts the brand almost perfectly and the value almost not at all. Two terabytes is a video-professional specification; for anyone else it is Rs. 81,000 of storage nobody will fill.

• Price: Rs. 224,990 (stated MRP Rs. 229,900)
• Key detail: Rs. 2,24,990 from a stated Rs. 2,29,900 - 2TB storage, a 2% badge, the read's ceiling
• Discount: 2% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 4,910
• Rating: Croma publishes no rating on this listing
• Role: Dearest listing in the read
• Buying logic: 2TB is a professional specification - most buyers want 256GB
